Bringing Your Dog to Work Could Help Lower Stress, Study Says
Occupational Health & Safety: Man’s best friend may make a positive difference in the workplace by reducing stress and making the job more satisfying for other employees, according to a Virginia Commonwealth University study. Stress is a major contributor to employee absenteeism, morale, and burnout and results in significant loss of productivity and resources, according to researchers.
