Having a pet in the office was a bad idea 🐶 Last Friday, I brought a guest to my office to see how my teammates react to it and how it might (or might not 😉) help with their work And here’s what I realised… 👉 The moment Leo walked in, I could feel the mood lift. My team seemed more than happy to have him - a clear reminder of how much joy animals can bring, even in a professional setting 👉 Throughout the day, people took little breaks (maybe too many😉) to play with him. But surprisingly, it didn’t distract them from the work. If anything, those quick moments of fun seemed to boost productivity. Who knew a few minutes of fetch could do that? 👉 I also think allowing pet owners to bring their pets to work can alleviate the worry of leaving them home alone, leading to happier employees. 👉 By the end of the day, the office felt more relaxed, and Leo, well, he became everyone’s new favourite coworker. He clearly did his job well! All I know is that the little experiment was a huge success - Leo was a hit, my team was in their best spirits, and work became extra fun! 🐶✨ What do you think about having pets at work?

🐾🐶 Bringing Joy to Work: Taking My Dog to the Office! 🐶🐾 Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of bringing Archie into the office, and it was an absolute delight! Not only did he lift everyone’s spirits, but it also reminded me of the importance of a positive and inclusive work environment. Here are a few takeaways from our experience: 1. Boosted Morale: Archie brought smiles to everyone’s faces. It’s incredible how a wagging tail can brighten up a room! 2. Stress Relief: Spending a few minutes petting a dog can significantly reduce stress levels. It was a great way to take short, rejuvenating breaks throughout the day. 3. Increased Productivity: Believe it or not, having Archie around made me more focused and efficient. Knowing he was happily settled nearby allowed me to concentrate better on my tasks. 4. Enhanced Team Bonding: Archie became an instant icebreaker, fostering more casual and relaxed conversations among colleagues. It created an atmosphere of camaraderie and openness. I’m grateful to work for letting me bring Archie in for the day. I feel a pet-friendly policy coming on!! ☺️ If you have the chance, I highly recommend bringing a little furry joy to your workplace! #PetFriendlyWorkplace #DogAtWork #WorkLifeBalance #OfficeJoy

Last Friday, June 21st, was National Bring Your Dog to Work Day. While it is not feasible to bring my dogs to work at my current company, I've had the pleasure of doing so at some of my previous companies. Seeing posts celebrating this day reminded me of a photo that will always have a special place in my heart, and I felt inspired to share with others. The two wonderful collies helping me work that day were Mr. Ace and Miss Lassie, whom I adopted through the Minnesota Wisconsin Collie Rescue and sadly are no longer with us. Working closely with this organization has been incredibly rewarding. Though pets, like kids, can sometimes be a handful, their presence overall provides a much-needed distraction from the daily stresses of work and a never-ending to-do list. Breathing exercises can be great for managing stress, but having your furry friends around is even better. With COVID-19, many people got to experience the companionship of their pets while working remotely. It became commonplace to see (or hear) our pets in the background during virtual meetings and a fun topic of conversation. I recall taking a virtual course where everyone stayed on during a break just to ask the facilitator a bunch of questions about their dog who was seen in the background throughout the session – what's his name, what breed, what was he wearing, where did you get his outfit? Pets can bring us together in a time where there is so much separation. Currently I work under a hybrid arrangement, so I am fortunate to be able to work from home a couple of days a week with my current office mates – Sadie, Ani, and Filly,  Although they can make the day interesting at times (as I was writing this I was remembering when Filly was a puppy, and I would look out to see her running around the yard with my pen, my notepad, newly laid sod or something else she shouldn’t have), they also bring joy and a sense of calm to my day. How do your pets help you manage stress? Share your experiences and pictures of your furry office mates! #NationalBringYourDogToWorkDay #StressRelief #HybridWork #DogLovers #PetTherapy #CollieRescue

This season, don’t let tasks pile up. Delegating to a Virtual Assistant can free up your time so you can focus on what truly matters—family, friends, and festivities. Let a VA handle the workload while you enjoy the magic of the holidays! #HolidayTips #DelegateAndCelebrate #VirtualAssistants #TimeForJoy #SeasonOfGiving #BusinessSupport #titanoutsourcing

Letting your staff bring their best friend to work on Friday? Here are 7 tips to make sure your dog doesn't bark up the wrong tree at the office.

IS YOUR DOG BRITAIN’S BEST OFFICE DOG? We all know dogs are great companions at home, but did you know they’re also incredible colleagues? They have a knack for boosting team morale and making work more fun. Don't just take our word for it: 🐶 Dogs help reduce stress by increasing oxytocin (the cuddle hormone) and lowering cortisol (the stress hormone), making everyone’s day a little calmer. 🐾 Dogs give you the perfect excuse to step away from your desk, get moving, and get some fresh air – all brilliant for improving productivity. 🐕 Offices with dogs have 85% fewer sick days than those without. Who wouldn’t want a health-boosting furry friend around? 🐾 90% of employees in pet-friendly workplaces feel more engaged and connected to their roles. So, does your office dog bring joy to your workplace? We think he or she deserves to be celebrated! Nominate them for Britain’s Best Office Dog - with amazing prizes for you, your pooch and your workplace, what are you waiting for?

Today's #RemoteWork perk: utilizing my midmorning break to take my dog for an extra walk. Not only does it clear my head and provide a breath of fresh air, but I've learned that walking can aid in stress relief and boost creativity. The stroll around my safe neighborhood is reassuring; with my large dog by my side, any potential safety concerns are effectively deterred. Can you bring your dog to the office? 🐕 #RemoteWork #WorkLifeBalance #StressRelief #CreativityBoost
