DERBY HOTELS
It is one of Barcelona’s pioneering hotel chains, which has always allowed animals in its rooms. The hotel’s creator, Jordi Clos, saw the effects this had and also 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 other large multinational companies, Airbnb has also embraced the pet-friendly concept. It began by allowing people traveling around the world to bring their pets with them. Employees of this company in every country can also bring their ARISTOPETS and build better relationships with one another.
20 MINUTOS
At the 20 Minutos newspaper newsroom, employees have also brought their pets in on several occasions to really determine whether working alongside them has positive effects when subsequently writing their articles. The workers demonstrated that on the first day they brought their pets to the office, work was much more productive, as reflected on 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 can also be found. Employees have the option of bringing their cats, dogs, or other animals in on certain days, which helps increase their creativity and create better flavors for future ice creams. In large companies such as Amazon and Facebook, whose offices are located in Madrid or Barcelona, there are game rooms, sleeping areas, and employees can also bring their pets. There are even special days for pets. Employees can get together with one another and get to know each other better through their animals.
In Spain today, several companies already allow their employees to bring their pets to work, but compared with other countries, there is still a long way to go to match the percentage of employees and pets in the workplace. In Germany, municipalities offer free courses to parents on how to better care for dogs, so they can enter all kinds of places. In London, at Nestlé offices, all employees who have pets can have them with them. Eight percent of employees bring their ARISTODOGS to work.
