Time for workies

Bring Your Dog To Work Day is an annual nationwide event that raises money for charities dedicated to making a difference to the welfare of dogs.

As well as raising funds for charity, Bring Your Dog to Work Day (this Friday) can be hugely beneficial for employee productivity and wellbeing.

Above all, the day promises to be a lot of fun for all those involved. It’s time to give your dog a job! Enter your dog into the Hall of Fame now for the chance to win this year’s mega prize.

Many scientific studies have concluded that the presence of pets can substantially reduce a person’s stress level in the workplace.

Increased job satisfaction, team co-operation and morale have all been reported in employees that spend the workday with their pets.

In fact, a study published by the International Journal of Workplace-Health Management (2010) concluded that the presence of dogs in the workplace even had a positive effect on those employees who didn’t have a dog of their own.

So in addition to raising funds, Bring Your Dog To Work Day is likely to boost the productivity and happiness of the employees within your company.

All Dogs Matter is a charity that rescues and rehomes more than 300 dogs a year in London and throughout the UK.
