Making the workplace a more relaxed, productive, enjoyable place

Cambs Compressors are joining a long list of successful companies that have adopted Dogs At Work policies, including Amazon, Google and Ben & Jerry’s. It may seem like an indulgence for sentimental pet owners but it turns out that there’s a strong rationale for having a dog friendly workplace. According to research, pets in the workplace reduce stress and nurture productivity.

Pets remind people to pause and step back

Spending too much time too close to a project, problem, or other work can inhibit productivity and cause unnecessary stress. Pets remind people to pause and step back from whatever they are involved in. Short walks, a little playtime, and temporary distractions allow mental breaks so as not to overwork and become stressed.

Increased cooperation and better working relationships

Offices with dogs tend to have increased cooperation and better working relationships amongst employees. Whether it's that dogs increase morale, make everyone feel more positive, or simply give them a reason to talk more, offices with pets are more likely to maintain a friendly working rapport across the board.

Sounds like a win-win-win situation all around!
