MCG celebrates the ‘dog days’ of summer

Monday, June 29, 2009

Moore Consulting Group celebrated Take Your Pet to Work Day on Friday by hosting their furry friends at the office.  An unwritten policy, Moore Consulting Group regularly allows pets to accompany their owners to work—just as long as they don’t try to answer the phone! Studies have shown that companies allowing pets at work on a regular basis have experienced improvement in employee morale. A study by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association indicates that having pets in the workplace can create a more productive work environment, lower stress and decrease employee absenteeism.

Joining in the celebration of Take Your Pet to Work Day was Jim Hunt’s rescued Shih Tzu, Bailey, and Bindi, a mixed breed Amanda Fliger adopted from the Gadsden County Humane Society.
