Take Your Dog to Work Day
Friday, June 20, is Take Your Dog to Work Day. First celebrated in 1999, Take Your Dog To Work Day was created to celebrate the great companions dogs make and to encourage their adoption from humane societies, animal shelters and breed rescue clubs.
This annual event via Pet Sitters International encourages employers to experience the value of pets in their workplace for this one special day to promote pet adoptions.
PSI hopes that through TYDTWDay, people without dogs will see the loving bond their co-workers have with their pets and will consider adopting orphaned pets for their own.
Studies show that pets in the workplace boost employee morale, productivity and even sales, and TYDTWDay is a great public relations opportunity and lots of fun for employers and employees alike.
A 2006 American Pet Product Manufacturers Association survey indicated that one in five companies allow pets in the workplace. According to the survey, millions of employees felt that pets in the workplace led to a more creative environment, decreased absenteeism, improved productivity and helped co-workers get along better.
