Many popular companies offer on-site childcare or subsidize childcare services, but employees with pets aren’t usually offered any benefits to help take care of their furry family members. Providing a pet-friendly work environment, or at least specific days where pets are allowed in the office, will make a huge difference to employees who take care of animals at home.

While it may seem like having pets in the office could be distracting, animals often have a soothing effect on employees and bring joy into a stressful environment. This perk also signals to employees that the company cares about maintaining a good work/life balance, and recognizes that sometimes personal responsibilities will bleed over into the professional space.
