Teamwork within a company has tons of benefits. Collaboration results in better problem solving, more creativity and innovation and boosted productivity, to name a few. For employees, working as a team has been shown to increase happiness and work satisfaction, as well as encourage personal growth. For these reasons and more, you likely are looking to incorporate wellness group activities in Los Angeles to San Diego into your workplace culture. So, where does Puppy Love come in?
It may or may not surprise you to learn that one of the benefits of engaging with animals is increased social interaction. In the workplace, a puppy’s ability to foster social connection encourages a kind of interaction and self-expression that employees in many industries don’t get to experience often. After all, what better way to bond than over a furry friend?
A study from 2017 found that when two groups were given a task to complete together, the group that also had a canine companion reported higher levels of trust in their teammates. With that higher trust, they were also more attentive and enthusiastic about completing their task.
Research has suggested interacting with animals helps more than just employee-to-employee connections-it has a positive effect on how employees feel about supervisors as well.

In fact, scientific studies have shown positive therapeutic effects from animal interaction – including decreasing blood pressure and reduced levels of cortisol.
