How much is that doggie in the window…

Have you noticed that more and more businesses are incorporating animals into the workplace and work culture? From goat yoga to cat cafes, employers are recognizing the draw of combining pets and work. And they are on to something. Numerous studies have shown an increase in talent acquisition, decrease in burnout, increase in job satisfaction, and even improvement in collaboration among employees in establishments that have facility animals or allow employee’s pets to join them at work. And as an added benefit, did you know that if you stare into a dog’s eyes for 30 seconds you can lower your stress hormone, cortisol, for hours afterward? So consider turning your workplace into a whole new kind of animal!
