為這些公司打工,你可以帶狗上班
全球最大的寵物保姆和遛狗師網(wǎng)絡(luò)Rover.com發(fā)布了首份“對寵物狗最友好辦公室”榜單,雀巢、愛彼迎、網(wǎng)約車平臺Uber、客戶關(guān)系管理解決方案提供商Salesforce和伏特加酒品牌Tito’s Handmade Vodka等公司名列前茅,上榜公司都?xì)g迎員工帶寵物上班(至少寵物狗沒問題)。 Rover在自主編制的榜單中對全美100多家對寵物狗友好公司進(jìn)行了排名,評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)包括允許帶入辦公室的寵物狗數(shù)量、寵物狗和主人享受的福利以及辦公室特別便利設(shè)施等。 亞馬遜位居榜首,Rover給出的理由是,總部位于西雅圖的巨頭“在園區(qū)內(nèi)建造了寵物狗公園,提供大量免費(fèi)糞便袋和零食,能夠照看6000只已經(jīng)登記的寵物狗。”不出所料,寵物食品和供應(yīng)商PetSmart、Petco和雀巢普瑞納寵物護(hù)理中心也榜上有名——兩家公司出名的是家里寵物去世的員工可以放假一天。(別聽有些人說寵物不算家庭成員。) Rover榜單上的許多公司都位于六大都市圈:波士頓、洛杉磯、紐約市、圣迭戈、西雅圖和舊金山灣區(qū)。 但是,除了Rover制定的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)以外,很多上榜公司為養(yǎng)狗員工提供的實(shí)際支持更多,有各種各樣的福利和補(bǔ)貼,比如最多500美元的領(lǐng)養(yǎng)費(fèi)用、辦公區(qū)寵物狗公園、寵物洗發(fā)水和其他用品等,甚至還有“育狗假”,員工剛養(yǎng)狗后可以額外獲得一周的事假。(養(yǎng)過小狗的人都知道,第一周尤其艱難。) 為什么各家公司如此大手筆投資寵物福利呢?根據(jù)Rover的內(nèi)部調(diào)查,如果寵物主人能夠帶狗上班,超過75%的人跳槽的幾率會降低。此外,Rover的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),如果辦公室對汪星人很友好,能夠減輕員工的壓力并提高工作效率。現(xiàn)在,職業(yè)倦怠已經(jīng)被列入臨床健康問題,會導(dǎo)致員工焦慮、抑郁和患病。 Rover已經(jīng)在網(wǎng)上公布了完整榜單,其他歡迎員工帶寵物狗上班的公司也可以自薦,參加明年的評選。(財富中文網(wǎng)) 譯者:艾倫 審校:夏林 |
Rover.com, the world’s largest network of pet sitters and dog walkers, has released its inaugural “Best Dog Friendly Offices” list. Among some of the Very Good Companies (at least as far as dogs are concerned) welcoming our four-legged companions into their offices are Nestle, Airbnb, Uber, Salesforce, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka. Just in time for “Bring Your Dog to Work Day” coming up on Friday, June 21, Rover’s proprietary list ranks more than 100 dog-friendly companies across the United States, doling out points based on the total number of dogs allowed in the office, dog and pet parent perks, and specific office amenities. Amazon topped off the list at number one because, according to Rover, the Seattle-based behemoth “supports its 6,000 registered dogs with an on-campus dog park and plenty of free poop bags and treats.” Not surprisingly, pet food and suppliers PetSmart, Petco, and Nestle Purina Petcare—the latter two of which were noted to offer employees an extra day off for pet bereavement. (Don’t let anyone tell you pets aren’t family.) Many of the companies on Rover’s list were based in the following six major metropolitan areas: Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, and the San Francisco Bay Area. But many of these companies actually do a lot more for dog-owning employees, with plenty of treats and perks for humans, such as offering up to $500 toward adoption fees, on-campus dog parks, pet shampoo and other supplies, and even “pawternity” leave, usually entailing one extra week of personal time off (PTO) after getting a dog. (Anyone who has gotten a puppy, especially, knows that the first week is the hardest.) So why are these companies investing so much in pet perks? According to Rover’s internal research, more than 75% of pet parents who are able to bring their dogs to the office are more likely to stay with their current employer. Furthermore, Rover’s research linked dog-friendly workplaces to both reductions in stress and increases in productivity. This comes at a time when burnout is truly (and finally) able to be diagnosed as a clinical health problem, squeezing workers to the point of anxiety, depression, and disease. Rover’s full list is available online now, and businesses that also welcome their employees’ four-legged best friends can submit their names for consideration for next year’s tally. |
