It’s very clear that pets reduce stress and improve health. Many research studies show that pets lower blood pressure and lessen anxiety. So wouldn't it be natural that pets are making their way into offices and work sites around the country? We do have a "Take Your Dog To Work Day" and maybe in the future other pets going to work will be recognized as well.
Do you think that pets at work can help us and our co-workers become less stressed and more productive?
Some of the PRO's of taking your pet to work include:
- The obvious stress relief and health benefits
- Reduced doggy daycare and other pet-sitting costs
- Bonding among co-workers who like pets
- Potential customer appeal especially in front-office situations
Some of the CON's of taking your pet to work include:
- Trouble for co-workers with allergies
- Interruptions for walks and doggie bathroom breaks
- Damage caused by chewing and “accidents” around the office
- Distractions and other interruptions caused by barking or just wanting attention
- Employee friction and stress for those who dislike animals
