Going to the Dogs

Dogs are now considered a member of the family and people are spending more time, love, and money on them than ever. Give your employees the chance to bring their dog to work for a day. Set a day and a price for the day. Most people would probably be willing to pay fifteen to twenty five dollars. Have a few rules, such as dogs must be kept on leashes, they should be up to date on shots, you must have a vaccination record, and you must clean up any messes your dog makes both inside and outside. Provide “bio” baggies and a trash can outside to deposit the messes. Set up a dog free zone in a conference room for those with allergies or who don’t want to participate, to work in for the day. At lunchtime have a contest for the prettiest dog, the silliest pet trick, and dog that most looks like its owner. You will probably find your employees are happier and more productive on this day.
