Pooch power


We often comment on a lot of statistics and stories surrounding workplace absence as a result of stress, however the following piece of research is one of the most original.
Fudge - The HR Dept's office pooch

Nicely timed with Ashleigh and Pudsey, the lovable dancing dog trick act being crowned the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ winner at the weekend, new research suggests that taking dogs to work ‘reduces employee’ stress. According to the scientific study, those who had dogs in their workplace were less stressed throughout the day compared to those who didn’t – woof indeed! Realistically, it has to be appropriate to the workplace but dogs seem to have a positive impact on employee morale and create a more enjoyable working environment, but what do you think? 

Do you have an office dog? Leave a comment below or even better tweet us a picture of your workplace office pooch! @thehrdept
