Band 4+: Your company is considering implementing a new pet-friendly workplace policy. Some employees have expressed interest in bringing their pets to work, while others have concerns about allergies and distractions. The HR department is conducting a survey to gather employee opinions before making a final decision. Choose the option that you prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words. Option A: Allow employees to bring their pets to work Option B: Maintain a no-pets policy in the workplace

Pets, being welcomed at company is an interesting, and a tempting idea, especially when they are friendly, and well-behaved.

It is a common expression that dogs are man’s best friend. Nowadays, majority of families have one or more domestic animals as a companion at home. Owners are concerned not only for their safety, but also the exaggerated expenses with the day-care center particularly, the extra charges for being late by as little as under a minute. This policy would not just put a curb to their agitative feelings but also will calm then sufficiently to concentrate better on office projects.

Moreover, dogs and cats are even considered family members simply because they obediently revolve around you and share emotions with you. Therefore, they are trained to understand instructions and follow them obediently. Hence, allowing them near the premises of office is acceptable.

Lastly, with a dedicated pet space or a room, similar to baby creche’s, owners can visit them during visitation hours. Thus, public fear, allergies and distractions can be avoided.

I am confident that with meticulous planning and restrictions, the policy can be executed, and our workplace can be converted into a successful pet-friendly forum.
