Taking your dog along to office can lead to a promotion. Don’t believe us?

Come June 24, and employed pet parents in the United States have a reason to rejoice. They can take their four-legged friends to their office on Take Your Dog to Work Day.

It might take some time for the practice to become mainstream in India, but the immense benefits it brings along are undeniable.

Bust stress

Did you know that spending time with a pet releases endorphins that soothe your nerves and playing with them soaks up pressure by up to a third? Imagine what wonders it would conjure up at an office space. Incredible, right?

Pets, in a way, remind people that they are never seated for long with their heads buried deep into workstations. Once you take them out on a walk, you can resume work with renewed vigour and heightened focus.

Better team players

Employees tend to bond more with their colleagues after cuddling with furred companions. You may even consider having a common office pet to ratchet up the rapport among staff.

Boost morale and productivity
