Pets help staff

Jan 25 2008

Apparently the new key to business success and less stress is allowing pets in the office.

According to officebroker.com, 90 per cent of companies which had dogs in the workplace witnessed a positive change in the working environment.

Two-thirds claimed staff morale had lifted, and half saw absences fall.

But, Jim Venables, managing director of officebroker.com, says: "Employers need to think long and hard before they adopt a pet policy. Does the firm have liability insurance to cover them if a canine bites an employee?"
