May 15, 2007 - Employers throughout New England can experience first hand the benefits of the positive impact of pets in the workplace by participating in the worldwide “Take Your Dog to Work Day”.
Take Your Dog to Work Day (TYDTWD) operates on the premise that employees share their positive experience of dog ownership by taking their well behaved dog to work, and co-workers who are non-dog owners will be touched by the experience enough to potentially adopt a homeless dog from a shelter or humane society.
According to Donna Sheehey, CDO at Zoomin Groomin, “Having your dog anywhere with you makes other people smile. Studies have shown that pets in the workplace can boost morale, productivity and even sales. Participating in ‘Take Your Dog to Work Day’ is win-win all around – for the company, the employees and homeless shelter dogs.”
Zoomin Groomin offers special tips for celebrating TYDTWD:
• Get everyone on the same page. Once employer and workers have decided to participate in and support “Take Your Dog to Work Day”, be sure to register your company at www.petsit.com.
• Amused pets and happy workers. If there is concern about work disruption, consider asking an animal shelter volunteer to help out or find a Pet Sitter to assist with the dogs’ potty and entertainment needs.
• Doggie goodies, raffles and more. Consider holding a “Pet Fair” on TYDTWD and invite local pet-care professionals to come and talk about their businesses. Ask vendors to donate products or gift certificates for a raffle and then donate the proceeds to a local shelter.
• Posing with pups. Hold a fun pet photo session. Encourage both dog owners and non-dog owning co-workers to pose with visiting dog “workers”. Snap photos, and share and make memories by creating a photo album.
• “Putting on the dog.” Hold a doggie costume contest where best costumed pet gets a very special treat!
• Canine encounters. Invite a local shelter or rescue group to bring a few of their animals for a visit to your business on TYDTWD. There’s a good chance that one or more homeless dogs will find forever homes with your co-workers!
• Chow time! Celebrate with a bone- shaped cake for people and tasty treats for dogs to make TYDTWD even more special.
