Paw-some work perks | Why this firm offers £££s to staff for pets

Work perks play a huge role in the workplace. Not only do they help HR and employers attract new talent into the organisation, but they also help to keep existing staff happy and motivated, which has huge benefits for the business too.

To boost employee mental health, particularly during the pandemic, a US-based insurance firm has offered animal-loving staff members a whopping £228 ($300) stipend to adopt a new pet.

The New York Post reported that firm The Zebra will cover expenses up to £228 ($300) annually to help those who are welcoming a new cat or dog into the family.

This will ensure that ‘pet parents’ spend more time bonding with the new addition to the family rather than worrying about the costs associated with their new furry friend.
