At V-hicule Média, we are lucky to have Ruby — our adorable canine mascot — who sometimes shares our workspace. And trust us, her presence makes all the difference.
What Science Says
Many studies have demonstrated the positive effects of pets in the workplace:
- Stress reduction — Petting a dog lowers cortisol (the stress hormone)
- Better mood — The presence of an animal promotes good mood and positivity
- Team cohesion — Animals create natural interactions between colleagues
- Increased productivity — Less stressed employees are more efficient
- Talent attraction — A pet-friendly office is an advantage for recruitment
