Bill Gallagher argues that employers should let people bring their full selves to work, using the example of employees adopting puppies after COVID. Early puppy care is like having a baby, he says, and flexible arrangements during those months create a more humane workplace.
We had some people who are single after Covid, they decided they wanted to get a dog. And so my whole thing was, you know what I, that, that, that's like having a baby. So what does that look that it's that important, right? It is. So I was like, okay, we're gonna, we're gonna let you do whatever it takes to, you know, whatever. Like, if you need to work from home, if you need to like have this work life balance for the first six months as you get that puppy up and going, then do that. And I bring that up and I bring that story up only because people are sharing those things. They're getting excited about those things. They, they know this organization is going to support them. And it's because we're, we're all showing up as, as human beings and bringing our full self to work.
