Would you like to be able to bring your pet to your workplace? Check out the following company examples and start sending in your resume.
DERBY HOTELS
Derby Hotels is one of the pioneering hotel chains in Barcelona that has always allowed animals in its rooms. The creator of this hotel, Jordi Clos, saw the positive effects and allowed his employees to bring their pets to the offices on certain days of the week. It now has establishments in Barcelona, Madrid, London, and Paris.
AIRBNB
Like major multinationals, Airbnb is also a pet-friendly company. They started by allowing people traveling worldwide to bring their pets. Employees of this company in all countries can also bring their ARISTOPETS, fostering better relationships among employees.
20 MINUTOS
The newsroom of the newspaper 20 minutos has also, on several occasions, allowed pets. This was to truly verify if working alongside them had positive effects before writing their articles. Employees demonstrated that on the first day they brought their pets to the office, work was much more productive, and they reflected this through their social media.
BEN & JERRYS
At the American ice cream company Ben & Jerry's, whose offices are where campaigns and the best flavors are conceived, employees' pets are also present. They have the option of bringing their cats, dogs, or other animals on certain days, which allows them to boost their creativity and develop better flavors for future ice creams. In large companies like Amazon or Facebook, with offices in Madrid or Barcelona, they have game rooms, sleeping areas, and you can also bring your pets. There are even special days for pets. Employees can meet and get to know each other better through their animals.
In Spain today, several companies already allow employees to bring their pets, but compared to other countries, there's still a long way to go to match the percentage of employees with pets at work. In Germany, city councils offer free courses to owners on how to better care for dogs, so they can enter all public spaces. In London, at Nestlé's offices, all employees with pets can have them with them. 8% of employees bring their ARISTODOGS to work.
