But, why dogs?
10 years ago, we discovered global research indicating that having dogs around the workplace can have a postitive impact on employees mental health.
Benefits included enhanced workplace culture, stronger psychological contracts, increased employer brand, lower absenteeism, positive mental health, reinforced organisational values, lower stress levels and increased communication.
NZ Top Dog is a feel-good competition celebrating the postitive impacts our furry best mates have on our lives and mental health.
