COVID-19 changed the corporate landscape in a thousand different ways. After working from home for so long just to keep themselves safe, employees are hesitant to leave the comfort of their home offices.

Who can blame them? The perks of working remotely are seemingly endless: it’s convenient, comfortable, and quiet. Many companies across the world are choosing to go fully remote, leaving tumbleweeds to blow through empty offices.

How can you fill your property with life, smiles, and hope for a better tomorrow? Better yet, how can you rebuild a positive and thriving community, and keep employees begging to come back to work?

“Commercial landlords are now more involved than ever before with employee engagement strategies and are dedicated to providing amenities and services that support wellness and community.”

-Wellable

With so many scrambling to figure out how to bring tenants back into the office, the provided amenities are becoming a bit… forgettable.

Some are offering gym memberships and other physical wellness amenities. Others are going the party route. While free beer and ping pong are fun for some, they hardly present a memorable community-building opportunity. What you need is a fun, rejuvenating experience that will get employees excited about coming to the office and keep them running back in droves.

Celebrate your corporate tenants!

Most people spend the majority of their week at work. So, it makes sense that employers would be looking for ways to make the workplace as comfortable and convenient as a home office. Why would an employee want to do their work in the office if they can do the same job from home? Employees want to see their employers supporting a healthier work/life balance; they want to know that the employer sees them as more than worker bees, and instead whole people with lives that matter outside of their job.

This is where the ping pong and beer often shows up. In an effort to make the workplace more exciting and socially dynamic, companies are adopting things like open floor plans, on-campus gyms, and snacks. While this may seem like enough to make the convenience of a workplace compelling enough to make employees want to leave their home offices, in practice these efforts fall short.

Why go to a workplace gym when you can walk your own dog on your lunch break? Snacks at the office are all well and good, but employees have their preferred selection of snacks at home.

The question remains: how do you happy, lively, and productive employees to the office, AND make them want to stay?

Celebrate them! Show them how much they’re wanted and appreciated. Give them a special, enriching experience that they’ll never forget.

If anything gets people up from their desks and interacting – it’s puppies.

Nothing moves people like puppies. At Puppy Love Parties, we see this to be true on the daily. When people hear a tiny puppy boof, they can’t help but seek the adorable source of the sound.

Imagine sitting at home, alone, sludging through your daily work. Suddenly, an email dings into your inbox. The email invites you to a PUPPY EXPERIENCE. At the office there will be a designated puppy play pen, and you are free and encouraged to get your fill of puppy snuggles.

In our experience, that employee will rocket themselves into the office faster than you can say “See you there.” Once your employees arrive at the Puppy Experience, the effects are basically immediate.

Here are just a few examples of what our puppies can do for your employees:

1. Initiate and Strengthen Relationships
2. Foster Personal Growth
3. Boost their Moods and Raise Morale

Puppy Love Parties have a HUGELY pawsitive effect on your workplace that your employees will feel immediately. ((link to “What’s the Effect when Puppies Visit the Workplace?”))

Spread joy and life throughout your corporate campus.

If nothing else, our puppies will bring your employees an unforgettably joyful experience. (Though we promise they’ll bring much more than that.)

People are more productive when they are physically and socially well. During the height of the pandemic, in-person events and collaboration became threats to the health and wellness of ourselves and our community members. Thankfully, with vaccines and PPE, our communities are able to safely come back out of the woodwork.

Now more than ever we need to focus on rebuilding a strong sense of community. Because so many people spend the majority of time at work, the workplace has huge potential to become a thriving community hub.

The best way to foster wellness among tenants or employees is to celebrate them, and the #1 way to celebrate them is with a Puppy Love Party.

Giving your employees a Puppy Love Party not only fosters an amazing office culture, but gives back to the community at large. 20% of all Puppy Love proceeds support local rescues that ensure every pup gets a loving furever home.

The benefits truly can’t be overstated: puppies reduce stress, and increase smiles. Attendants make four-legged friends all the while forming life-long bonds with their coworkers.

Give your employees the gift of connection, camaraderie, and community by booking a Puppy Love Party today!
