Has Your Workplace Gone to the Dogs?

Meet Benny!

There are numerous studies that show pets can have a calming effect in the workplace. Many suggest pets lower stress and reduce blood pressure levels. Allowing dogs at the office must be carefully considered by management, taking into consideration the entire staff and work environment. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America reports that 15-30% of Americans suffer from some form of pet allergy.

With the right policy in place, and when managed effectively, a pet in the workplace can bring a much-needed sanity break to otherwise hectic and stressful days.

For questions on policies surrounding pets at work, please contact one of the HR Pros at EctoHR by calling 810-534-0170 or emailing hr@ectohr.com.
