A new survey suggests employers looking to attract new workers and keep their current ones motivated should consider going to the dogs. The web site Dogster, along with the job-search engine simply hired, reported that two-thirds of those polled would work longer hours if allowed to bring their dogs to work. Nearly half said they would consider leaving their jobs for a company that alllowed them to have their dogs at work. Nearly a third said such a policy would be worth a 5 percent salary reduction, and 11 % said they'd take a 10% salary cut for the privilege. The survey was conducted in January of 150 people, presumably most of whom are dog lovers. For a list of dog-friendly work places, check out Dogster.com |
