Persia & Cairo

July 2021

We are very fortunate to have Persia and Cairo, who are Brett & Liz’s dogs, in our workplace at Staying in Touch.

Did you know that simply petting a dog for a few minutes helps your body release happy hormones like serotonin, prolactin, and oxytocin? So it’s not surprising that many studies have shown that pets in the workplace can make employees happier and increase productivity, team morale, and employee retention while decreasing stress and absence.

It’s lovely to be excitedly greeted by the dogs when we arrive at work, to stop for a moment to watch them doing something funny, or to have them join us on our breaks.
