🏢 The benefits of pets in a workplace: 

1️⃣ Healthy lifestyle – our team often enjoy taking our office dogs out for a lovely lunchtime walk, which benefits the well-being of our team equally as much as our dogs! Wellness Wednesdays at AMA also means an extended lunch so extended walkies!

2️⃣ Reduce Stress – this is backed by many scientific studies! There is no better mood booster than cuddling our office pups! One thing is for sure, our dogs get everyone smiling and boost team morale – just look at them! 

3️⃣ Increase Productivity – as the saying goes, “a happier workplace means a more productive workplace!” our office dogs allow our teams to pause and take a step back if they need to. Short breaks, from quick playtimes, to little walks allows the team to feel refreshed and tackle any project!
