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.

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?
