Remote workers and their furry co-workers

Hello fellow remote workers and pet owners!

We are conducting a survey on how your relationship with your pet impacts your work exhaustion when working from home. This research will help us determine if owner-pet relationships should be seen as a resource for remote workers.

If you own a pet, have any experience working from home, and would like to take part in this voluntary 15 min survey, please follow this link Pets and remote work

This study is registered with the North-West University, South Africa.

With everyone always just a video calls away now, it’s easy to get sucked into doing more than our required hours or worrying about issues after we’ve clocked out. Pets are great companions. They’ll keep you company while you’re working, they’ll listen to you talk about your day (even when you’re not asking their opinion), and they’ll always be there for a cuddle break when you need it. It doesn’t matter if your pet is a dog, cat, or lizard—they’re all good listeners!
