Reduces Stress Levels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that stress in the office is inevitable, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emeraldinsight.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1108\/17538351211215366\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">various studies<\/a> have shown that having pets in the office can help lower stress levels and improve employee job satisfaction. Ideally, pets create a comfortable work environment that can help ease on-the-job tension. Having pets around the office helps lower cortisol, lowers blood pressure, increases wellness feelings, and improves overall job satisfaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-kampus-production-8057559-684x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5145\" width=\"648\" height=\"970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-kampus-production-8057559-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-kampus-production-8057559-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-kampus-production-8057559-768x1150.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-kampus-production-8057559-1026x1536.jpg 1026w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-kampus-production-8057559-640x959.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-kampus-production-8057559-50x75.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-kampus-production-8057559-1200x1797.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-kampus-production-8057559.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo Credit: Kampus Production via Pexels<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Promotes Productivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A happier workplace can help people become more productive. It\u2019s easier to think that dogs can be distracting at first. But, the reality is the productivity benefits outweigh the downside. Having a break from pressure and tasks can help employees feel less stressed and more focused on their job. Having pets in the office can also improve communication among teammates and help build bonds and connections between employees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Promotes a Healthier Work Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having pets in the office takes a village. Dogs need to be taken outside, get some exercise, and keep walking around. In reality, it helps employees walk around the office and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/2017-11-13-promoting-healthy-lifestyles-how-to-keep-your-pet-active-and-lean\/\">stay active<\/a>. Having little ones walking around the office can help people feel more energized. Studies show that this can provide a healthier work environment and promote more beneficial activities even outside of work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/andrii-ganzevych-jXqvVxrtmdg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5146\" width=\"731\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/andrii-ganzevych-jXqvVxrtmdg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/andrii-ganzevych-jXqvVxrtmdg-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/andrii-ganzevych-jXqvVxrtmdg-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/andrii-ganzevych-jXqvVxrtmdg-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/andrii-ganzevych-jXqvVxrtmdg-unsplash-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/andrii-ganzevych-jXqvVxrtmdg-unsplash-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/andrii-ganzevych-jXqvVxrtmdg-unsplash-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/andrii-ganzevych-jXqvVxrtmdg-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo Credit: Andrii Ganzevych via Unsplash<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Increases Punctuality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Funnily enough, employees that work in a pet-friendly office are eager to get to the office. About 85% of employees who work in a pet-friendly environment rarely miss a day. This is primarily because they work in an embracing environment that they feel comfortable with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-lumn-312599-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5147\" width=\"696\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-lumn-312599-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-lumn-312599-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-lumn-312599-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-lumn-312599-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-lumn-312599-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-lumn-312599-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pexels-lumn-312599.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo Credit: Lum3n via Pexels<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Build Employee Loyalty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, pet-friendly offices attract more talent and do better at retaining them. About 88% of employees working in a <a href=\"http:\/\/supermodern.bauhaus2yourhouse.com\/7-ways-to-pet-proof-your-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pet-friendly<\/a> environment would recommend their company to others, compared to 51% promoting non-pet-friendly settings. Having pets in the office helps improve work-life balance, which is why more people are likely to stay with the company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altogether, pet-friendly benefits far outweigh any pitfalls \u2013 distractions, tension, allergies, and cleanliness issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of pet-friendly offices not only extend to the employees who get to stay with their furry friends while at work, but also to the employers who will likely see a rise in employee happiness and production as a result of keeping employee fur babies close! Most importantly, this helps our furry friends to feel more comfortable during the work week by giving them the ability to stay by our side instead of dealing with the anxiety that comes with being left home alone all day. So the next time that you go job hunting, inquire about their policy on pets in the office; your fur baby will thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pet-friendly offices aren\u2019t new, but after COVID-19 and pandemic lockdowns, more offices are offering this perk to lure employees who got accustomed to living with their pets.
