How Much is That Doggie In The Window.
Dogs In The Office
At Safewell, we often have employees bring their Pooches in for the day, and they get thoroughly spoilt. It always creates a buzz around the office and gives plenty to talk about. We find it helps add to an already positive office environment.
There are many potential positives for welcoming an office dog into the workplace. Research suggests that dogs at work may reduce stress levels, boost performance and employee engagement. However, animal allergies are common, and some employees may be uncomfortable sharing their work space with a dog.
Things to consider if you’re thinking of having a doggy day in the office:
1 – The impact to employees, e.g. Dog phobias or allergies.
2 – Dog behaviour, e.g. Do dogs need to be trained, vaccinated?
3 – The Facilities, e.g. Risk assessment carried out, facilities required.
4 – Are office dogs the right fit for the company? e.g. Weigh up the pros and cons of having a dog in the office.
5 – HR Policies implementing a dog friendly Policy, e.g. Creating a policy to clearly communicate your expectations with staff.
Good Luck!
