The Importance of Canine Companions at The Workplace
Canine coworkers have been shown to increase work happiness and promote stress-free environments. The Workplace outlines the top reasons why you should consider bringing your dog to work.
Sometimes, working from home can be boring, distracting, or just uninspiring. Switching up your workspace can bring fresh motivation and productivity, but what if you have a canine companion?
Here at The Workplace, we allow dogs of all shapes and sizes into our spaces – providing they are well-behaved! Here are five benefits to bringing your dogs to work:
Improved Mental Wellbeing and Productivity
Many employees report lower stress levels and increased productivity when they work in a dog-friendly office. Whether you have a dog or just love to see them, being around canine coworkers has been proven to boost the wellbeing of many workers.
Physical Health
Recharge and reset as you take your furry friend on a lunchtime stroll… Taking time away from your desk to walk your pooch promotes physical health and mental focus, as fresh air and exercise are proven to provide mental clarity.
“Bringing my dog to work has hugely helped my mental health as he reminds me to take breaks and provides a calming presence in the office. He gets lots of attention throughout the day, so he’s always a happy pup!”
Meg, Marketing Manager of The Workplace
Community
Connecting and collaborating with people in your coworking space can be much easier when you have a pet. Canine companions act as an ice-breaker for a lot of people, allowing you to form friendships and connections with the people around you.
Savings!
With your dog in the office, you don’t have to worry about arranging a sitter or interrupting your work day to go home. Instead, just bring a bed, toy, and treat for them to feel right at home next to your desk at The Workplace. You’ll also cut down on doggy daycare costs!
Dog Socialisation
Bringing your dog to the office is not only great for you, but for your pet too. They get to enjoy plenty of social interaction, and you can take them on as many walks as your work day allows. The Workplace’s proximity to gorgeous parks and green spaces guarantee that your dog will have a ball when they’re out and about.
Of course, not everyone is a dog lover and we cater for people who prefer not to sit near dogs – just let us know when you book or call The Workplace so we can seat you somewhere away from any hounds.
So, are you ready to bring your pup to work?
