Adjusting to Working at Home with Pets
Bend, OR - August 25, 2022
If you work remotely, you may find yourself spending more time with your pets during the day. While this can be a great way to achieve work-life balance, it can also be a challenge to juggle your job and your pet's needs. Here are some tips from one of the top
recruitment firms
in Bend, OR for working remotely with your pets:
Daily Work Routine Around Your Pet
Going from working on-site and being away to working at home may require an adjustment period for your pets. You may even find yourself having to do additional training to create an environment conducive to your work and pet. Making and sticking to a schedule where you take breaks from your work to cater to your animal's needs is a great way to give yourself a break now and again while also giving your pet the attention they are used to getting while you're at home.
Create a Workplace That's Pet-Friendly
If you have to work from home, there are a few things you can do to make sure your pet doesn't bother you. First, create a special spot for them to hang out in. This will help them feel relaxed and comfortable while you're working. You might also consider placing a pet bed or kennel near your desk, so they're always within sight.
Participate in Pet Activities
Liven up your virtual meetings by introducing your pet to your colleagues (if your employers allow for it.) Also, be sure to participate in any work activities that require you to show off your pet. Take a lot of photos or video clips and share them with your team. Everyone is usually thankful to take a step away from their workload and participate in pet-related activities. Not only will this provide a moment of levity during otherwise mundane meetings, but it can also help build bonds between coworkers. And who knows - you might just end up being the office's unofficial pet ambassador!
