Should Employees Bring Their Furry Friends to Work?

Brewster Rawls is the founder of the Rawls Law Group. Two years ago, he started bringing his dog to work and his employees followed. He didn't make any announcement or policies about bringing dogs to work.

So far, there were no problems in the workplace although there are times when a dog barks in the background during a phone call which most of the employees respond to with humor.

“If you can do this, I really recommend it. It’s an easy and free morale boost,” said Rawls.

However, if employees do consider bringing dogs to work, people should take part in a poll. It is important to address issues such as allergies or the fear of animals.

Nevertheless, having the opportunity to bring dogs to the workplace can help with employee stress. Also, if there are talented workers who own dogs, allowing pets in the workplace is a great strategy to retain them.
