Get happier, be more productive at work

The key to being happier and more productive at work might just be bringing your best friend to work with you. Your furry bestie, that is.

Need proof? Studies like the ones by Virginia Commonwealth University and Banfield Pet Hospital concluded that people who brought their dogs to work reported less stress, had higher morale, and were more productive.

In addition, the Banfield study found that “in pet-friendly offices, both employees and HR decision-makers overwhelmingly agreed that allowing pets in the workplace improved several factors, including greater work-life balance and decreased guilt over leaving pets at home.”
