We have already told you about the benefits of bringing our pets to work: it increases employee productivity, reduces stress and anxiety, promotes camaraderie, etc. The effect is so significant that multinational companies are the ones that have popularized the Pet Friendly idea in their workplaces.
And if Google, Amazon, and AirBnB (highly renowned companies with unparalleled growth) do it, many others should follow their lead and help their employees be happier, feel more relaxed, and, as a result, be more productive.
The idea of sharing the workday with our four-legged colleagues has begun to take hold in Spain:
Campus Madrid (Google):
Campus Madrid is a space created by Google for entrepreneurs of all backgrounds, ages, and interests, where they can learn, connect, develop projects, and build their businesses. A great café, co-working spaces, auditoriums, and classrooms are some of the facilities that make up this Campus, where we can find entrepreneurs' pets strolling around or accompanying their ARISTOPARENTS. Campus Madrid seems to be the ideal environment for creating a successful Start Up.
Airbnb Spain:
In addition to organic food, yoga classes at the office, entertainment areas, and travel discounts, AirBnB employees enjoy one of the best benefits: bringing their pets to work.
This multinational platform once again demonstrates that it can be one of the best hosts by welcoming its loyal companions as guests.
Affinity Pet Care:
The dog and cat food company Affinity has been one of the pioneers of Pet Friendly policies in the workplace. Aware of the bond between people and their pets, the company allows employees to bring their dogs to its Barcelona offices.
The dog can rest beside its owner, accompany them to meetings, or socialize with other dogs in the Doggy Zone, an area with worktables, play areas, and little houses for their rest.
Redbility:
On its Facebook page, the Madrid-based company Redbility published, “We are proud to be a “dog-friendly” office and recommend it to all companies!”
For years, Redbility has seen that generating innovative ideas and designing solutions for companies is easier in a less stressful, more empathetic environment: one created by the presence of our loyal companions.
Utopicus:
Betting on the Coworking and Networking trends, Utopic_US has created spaces for freelancers and private offices for companies. They believe in innovation and creativity, in the union of ideas and knowledge, and that pets are the best coworkers.
In its spaces, offices, meeting rooms, and training rooms, we can find furry friends supporting project development. You only need to see the calm that Mamut and Chingolo bring to work to confirm the significant benefits that pet-friendly policies generate in companies.
The list of pet-friendly offices in Spain and around the world continues to grow every day. Both studies and results show that this policy is advisable for companies that not only support animals, but also consider their employees and the positive effect that pets' company has.
Have we told you that we follow the same policy at Aristopet? Two fabulous dogs and a beautiful cat ensure that our workdays always include anecdotes and laughter.
