 Workplace with fur friends

Office dogs are far more than just loyal companions to their owners, they are the secret stars that enrich our work environment. Our furry team members, Flocke, Mila and Cody, play a key role in sparking communication and creating a laid-back atmosphere.

In the world of fast-paced and technology-driven business, we are always looking for ways to make our work environment not only more productive, but also more enjoyable and healthier for the team. This is where Flocke, Mila and Cody come in.

Our three furry friends are more than just pets, they are part of our team and help to create an even more pleasant work life each and every day.

Stress relief and emotional support

A study by Barker and colleagues, published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology in 2018, found that the presence of dogs in the office can significantly reduce employees’ stress levels. Being around animals helps to reduce stress hormones such as cortisol. Office dogs also act as important emotional support, helping employees to deal with emotional challenges they may face at work. A quick game or a cuddle can work emotional wonders while helping to stay relaxed and focused.

Promoting communication

A study by Collins and colleagues (2019), published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, also showed that having dogs in the office leads to more informal conversations and social interactions within the team. As social mediators, office dogs facilitate interaction between employees, create a relaxed and pleasant working environment and reinforce the social fabric of the team.

 

Flocke, Mila and Cody: Together with you in the office, we are able to navigate any challenges that may arise in our everyday work life with a smile. It’s time for a treat!
