Benefits Of
A Puppy Love Experience
Reduce Employee Absenteeism
Who doesn’t want to come to the office when there are puppies? Nothing makes the workplace more attractive than knowing there are adorable furry creatures to frolic with.
Increase Positive Work Relationships
For employees who have never met or who don’t know each other well – or even those who do, puppies are an amazing conversation starter and bonding experience.
Increase Employee Attention
Daily work saturation can get overwhelming. A few minutes of Puppy Love™ organically clears minds and boosts serotonin, leading to a positive attitude re-adjustment.
Improve Employee Productivity
When employees feel appreciated, all good things come – including the desire to work and do well for the company.
Bring Smiles Throughout the Day
The photo opps and buzz factor around a Puppy Love™ experience are unparalleled. Smiles will abound as photos are shared and the afterglow continues all through the day!
Reduce Stress & Anxiety
We all know the feeling of stress at work – looming deadlines, performance reviews, etc. A few minutes playing with puppies makes all that melt away and allows employees to lower their anxiety levels.
Wellness Programs Save Companies Money
Employee wellness programs are an investment in your staff that also positively affects your bottom line by saving approximately 2-3 times the health care costs for every dollar spent. When your employees are mentally and physically healthier, there are fewer accidents or long-term injuries and conditions that your company will ultimately be responsible for.
By incorporating wellness programs, you'll also attract top talent, increasing your workplace productivity and creativity. With a lower absenteeism and turnover rate, your company will spend less time and fewer dollars on hiring and training new staff members.
Wellness Programs Increase Productivity
Healthy employees are higher-performing employees. Presenteeism is a rising trend in the workplace, meaning that employees show up physically to work without actually working. This is often due to illness, pain, or mental distractions, and implementing a workplace wellness program can work to address and prevent this.
While healthy eating and exercise programs can do much to address chronic mental and physical health issues, they aren't always the kind of thing employees want to participate in. An experience with Puppy Love is one of the more unique wellness at work ideas that everyone will be excited about. Everyone loves puppies, and spending time with animals has been shown to decrease stress and improve mental health.
Booking a session for employees shows care and compassion for their mental health and well-being. It can also help them look forward to coming to work. By investing in this type of attention, employees are more committed to producing quality work because they feel cared for and supported by their workplace.
Testimonials
Employee Wellness Is a Perk
Many employees view wellness programs as a perk that can incentivize them to work for or stay for a company. Along with a competitive salary, research shows that many jobseekers prioritize wellness programs as a benefit when considering a job offer. Interacting with puppies is an engaging and fun wellness activity that goes beyond standard gym memberships and nutrition programs. Booking sessions with Puppy Love™ is a marketable benefit to jobseekers that promotes a company culture of care, appreciation, and mental health awareness.
Wellness Programs Reduce Chronic Illness
Employer wellness programs are often responsible for preventing chronic illness because they focus on long-term healthy lifestyles and habits while offering flexibility to meet the needs of different individuals. They reinforce the importance of nutritious food choices, water consumption, and physical activity. Still, successful programs also consider the importance of stress management and relaxation.
