Dogs In The Workplace

Deciding whether or not I should agree with dogs being allowed in our work place was very tricky for me. I appreciate your desire to make sure every employee feels comfortable and stress-free at work. Also, I adore dogs and would love to able to have my furry-friend alongside me all day long. However, after looking at the pro's and con's, I'd have to say I do not agree with this idea.

Employees bringing their pet dog to work is a very controversial topic. An abundance of people support this idea, because they feel they would be more productive, happier, more relaxed, and less stressed. However, many people feel like bringing dogs into the workplaces only causes problem such as, allergies, behavioral episodes, and any fearful mindsets the employees may have. I feel like dogs, while they bring many great qualities to anywhere they go, should not be allowed into a work area unless need-be.

According to the article, Tony Treanor, NCSS’s director of Human Resources was granted the opportunity of putting in place a new policy on dogs in the workplace. With

Although it would be nice for dog owners to bring their pet to work with them sounds like a good idea some employees might be alergic to the dogs. In addition to being alergic some employees could have had past experiences with a dog, like being bitten or chased by one and may be anxious around dogs. Furthurmore, dogs are usually very unsanitary and could spread bacteria or diseases throughout the workplace just by licking.

I believe letting your employees bring their dogs to work is a great way to boost their motivation and work ethic.

I support our decision on Bring Your Dog to Work program. I think it could be a really good idea. Especially, for those who have no pet sitters at home. It can be a real productive thing, if people took it seriously.

In certain work places i do belive dogs can be a positive energy and a relaxing company to have around the work place. In my own experiance at school some of the teachers bring theyre dogs to work, the dogs are very quiet and nice which helps me feel relaxed and able to reduce stress in the classroom. Another reason i am in support of the bring your dog to work program is beacause, in the article it states that theyre are studies showing that bringing your dog to work can increase the work productivity and workers have a sense of relaxation also more people experience a sense of well

The goals and desired outcomes of the Facebook “Dogs In The Workplace Agreement” is to develop a comprehensive pet policy that leaves no room for interpretation on rules and regulations. Creating a less stressful work environment by boosting employee morale can create a win-win situation for both dog-lovers and non-pet owners. Allowing dogs in the workplace will provide employees with many business-enhancing benefits, which include emotional support, improved morale, reduced stress levels, enhanced job performance and productivity, promotes teamwork and greater employee satisfaction (American Humane Association). Dr. Becker from the Mercola Healthy Pets, states that research shows how interacting with pets can lower stress levels, and boost

Another reason I believe dogs should be home instead of at the work place is the constant attention a dog needs whether it be food and water or to be brought outside. This is more time that an employee will not be working so even if that employee got more done in less time over the course of a day it probably amounts to the same amount of work a stressed employee would complete.

For example, the person that supports it says that pet owners that have alot of stress and anxiety can feel less of that, when their dog is with them.One wouldn't mind working later hours if they had their dog with them. This person believes that the workplace will increase with satisfaction and productivity having their dog with them. When emloyees are happy there are higher job satisfaction.

They are people in support of Bringing Your Dogs to Work program because of help, to reduce stress and anxiety at work. Studies shows that most employees tend, to be more happy at work, and also to get work done faster when there dogs are beside them when there at work. Therefore, the employees will be more happier, and more relaxed, they will be so happy, to get to work and wouldn't mind to stay late at work. Also employees are will likely sta positive at work, they tend to stay at their positions, which can save their employers the cost of having to hire and train new workers. On the flip side there are some against Bringing Dogs to Work movement. Not everyone likes dogs, or is comfortable when there are around them. Furthermore, there are

I think the idea of bringing your dog to work is a bad idea because some people are allergic to dogs, some people have had bad experiences with dogs so it may cause them emotional distress, and because you have to care for a dog through out the day so therefore it would cause people to have to stop work to care for the dog.

I Believe and support the idea of bringing your dog to work, I think it is a wonderful idea, they have many beautiful reasons why you should.

I am a dog lover myself but bringing your dog to work will be a disater. Many people are allergic to and or feel very anxious around dogs, dogs can also be a distarction in the work place, and there is no guarantee that the dogs are going to be well-behaved.

I am a fond lover of animals. But I do not recommend or support bringing dogs to work. Allowing dogs in the workplace can be distracting and stressful for some workers. Dogs are unsanitary and they can spread diseases to humans. And they can also cause property damage in the workplace. Dogs can be distracting and stressful to some workers due to excessive barking. They can also be stressful for someone who has had a bad experience with dogs. They can spread diseases and bacteria through out the office. Which could spread to the office kitchen and into our food causing humans to get sick.
