Sheba & Rosie Our Office Dogs<\/p><\/div>\n

If you love dogs then you know how they make great companions. But, what about for your office? We think dogs make the best business mascots and here is why:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dogs make you happier.\n
      \n
    • Studies show that just gazing at a dog brings out the hormone Oxitocin which is the happiness hormone. Being happy at work helps you be more effective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • They encourage us to take necessary breaks.\n
        \n
      • Standing for too long or looking at a computer for too long can have negative implications. It\u2019s important to take short breaks in order to renew and bring a clear mind back to work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Dogs foster a sense of social interaction making us friendlier with each other.\n
          \n
        • Workplace success takes a team of individuals who are friendly and respectful to one another. Anytime you have happier people who can be friendlier to each other, you are working in a better atmosphere that fosters success.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • They don\u2019t complain.\n
            \n
          • It\u2019s always nice to have people around who don\u2019t complain and remind you about the things to be grateful for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
          • Dogs help people come out of their shell.\n
              \n
            • Dogs make us open up our personalities in such a way that it encourages us to open up and flourish. On a team, every voice counts and it is nice that dogs help us to be our best selves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Our work dogs pictured above are Sheba and Rosie. Both rescue dogs from kill shelters, we are grateful to have them with us and they bring a lot to our team at Flexsystems USA.<\/p>\n
