Articles DOGS AT WORKNot all companies are created equal, nor do they all place the same value on the presence of four-legged 'employees'. At Jupie Couture, we support the acceptance of dogs in the workplace. That may seem a given, considering that we are a dog apparel company. But in our previous working lives, the staff at Jupie Couture found that some companies readily welcomed our best furry friends, while others hadn't yet realized the benefits of including dogs in the ranks. The majority of companies that allow dogs at work today are small start-ups, arts organizations and other creative ventures. These companies recognize the need for a flexible work environment in order to capture the interest of prospective employees, or to retain their current valued staffers. More and more that flexibility includes the addition of dogs in the workplace Our prediction – companies across sectors and of all sizes will start to realize the benefits of dogs at work. And we also happen to think that business dress applies to canines. BENEFITS OF DOGS IN THE WORKPLACE Facts from the American Humane Association • Staff morale and worker productivity increased by bringing pets to work • Increased camaraderie among employees • Happier employees result in enhanced job performance • Increase in sales reported by storeowners who take their dogs to work • Dogs can serve as a crime deterrent "There's something about pets that really brings people together" - Carol Moulton, Director, American Humane Society |
