Doggie Downers<\/strong><br \/>\nCompanies that offer dog-friendly workplaces cite numerous advantages to allowing the animals at work.\u00a0 Some reasons can\u2019t be easily quantified \u2013 improved quality of life, better office morale, increased camaraderie, lowered stress, and greater happiness are all cited as positives.\u00a0 But beyond these warm and fuzzy reasons, there are some distinct advantages that may increase your company\u2019s bottom line.<br \/>\nEmployees with dogs are likely to work longer hours since they don\u2019t have to leave for doggy daycare at 5:00 PM.\u00a0 You will probably see decreased absenteeism because your workers won\u2019t have to stay home to tend to their pets.\u00a0 Employers often note increased productivity and efficiency when employees have dogs with them at work.<br \/>\nCombine all of these factors, and also consider that employees enjoy saving pet-sitting money, and you have probably separated yourself from your competitors when it comes to attracting and hiring new talent.\u00a0 There is no doubt that, at least for some employees, a dog-friendly workplace is a benefit no different than healthcare coverage or three weeks of vacation, and they will choose where they work based on that benefit.<br \/>\nOn the other hand, remember that not all employees love dogs, and perhaps a pet-friendly workplace will be a disincentive to some current or prospective workers.\u00a0 For all of the benefits listed above, some workers \u2013 and customers \u2013 may view the atmosphere as too unprofessional.\u00a0 Further, there may be some industries where state or local regulations prevent dogs from being present, such as some restaurants, food stores, hair salons, medical offices, etc.<br \/>\n<strong>Follow The Rules<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you are ready and able to move forward with a dog-friendly workplace, here are the steps to take and issues to consider.\u00a0 First, check to make sure that the building you occupy allows dogs, and also make sure that you have proper insurance to cover any injuries or damage that may occur.<br \/>\nNext, take some time to consider what kind of rules you want to have in place, and put them in writing.\u00a0 Will you require all workers to prove their dogs have been recently vaccinated and are free of fleas, etc.?\u00a0 Would you want all dogs to go through a pet training class as a prerequisite?\u00a0 Will you do a trial run, such as dogs allowed on Fridays only for a month, before deciding your next step?\u00a0 Are there areas of the office where dogs will not be allowed (kitchens, work rooms, bathrooms, etc.)?\u00a0\u00a0 Will all dogs be allowed, or only those under a certain weight?\u00a0 If an employee needs to go out of the office, where will the dog be kept in his or her absence?<br \/>\n<strong>Staying Out Of The Doghouse<\/strong><br \/>\nFinally, at a bare minimum, you need to address the following issues.\u00a0 If another employee has or develops an allergy to dogs, or perhaps even a psychological phobia to animals, you will need to accommodate that employee under disability law.\u00a0 Consider having a \u201cdog free\u201d area of your workplace, or installing high-grade filtration systems to reduce dander and hair.<br \/>\nMake sure your policy addresses aggressive behavior against other employees and dogs, and enforce the policy by barring offending animals for good or until they are properly trained.\u00a0 And lay down rules regarding cleaning up after the animals, being clear about whose responsibility it is to wield the pooper scooper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s possible that allowing employees to bring their dogs to work could improve a company&#8217;s bottom line, according to this article, which notes that powerhouses including Amazon and Google allow dogs in the office.
