We are petitioning to allow Pets to be able to come to the TikForce Office on occasion (during operating hours).

TikForce Staff would carefully put together a roster that would avoid having too many pets in the office at any given time (a maximum of two).

Here are some of the top reasons why four legged friends in the office could be the best decision you could make:

How can you not feel at ease when looking into the cheerful eyes of a dog? It’s an instant mood booster and miraculously all the stress of work seems to dissipate as soon as a pet is around. They must have magic powers…or maybe they’re just too cute not to smile!

An office dog can be an incredibly powerful bonding tool. In a lot of offices, people like to keep themselves to themselves; but how would this change if suddenly a pet was introduced to the workplace? My bet is that suddenly everyone would want to be where the dog is and well I never…they just so happen to be spending time with each other in the process! It will also become a shared interest among employees, creating a new point of conversation!

If you have an office dog, it will require walking from time to time and your staff need exercise for the sake of their wellbeing just as much. TikForce Staff currently don't take walks and breaks from their computer in line with the Health Recommendations. By sharing the responsibility among the team, or creating a dog walking roster, it will encourage TikForce employees to be active your employees to be active and get some fresh air. The reduced stress levels will also do everyone’s health a world of good!

Taking short breaks away from your desk to spend time with the dog, or take it for a walk, could work wonders for our employees’ productivity. Research has found that giving yourself a bit of a breather allows you to give your mind a bit of a break and return to your work feeling refreshed and engaged!

It doesn’t just benefit the employees of course, the dogs will thank you too! Dogs don’t like to be left on their own for too long and neither is it fair to do so. By allowing employees to bring their pet to the office it means that they don’t have to worry about leaving them at home all day long, or find someone to look after them. This may also encourage staff to work longer hours, as they won’t be rushing home to check on their animals.
