Some of the most successful companies in the world are becoming pet friendly. Google, Amazon, and Etsy are a few of the many companies that allow you to bring your furry friend to the workplace.
When it came to group tasks, those who had a dog around them tested higher for trust, team bonding, and intimacy than those who worked without one.
- 11% drop in stress when allowed to bring your pet to work
- 70% spike in stress when having to leave their pet at home
Lower stress = Lower blood pressure, fewer heart problems How is that related to workplace productivity? Healthier employees take less sicks days = more productivity & lower health insurance premiums = happier employees
