Building culture & care for pet-loving employees.

A new category in employee wellbeing. Why supporting pet parents is the next frontier in talent, culture, and retention.

New Release

The Pet-Supportive Workplace Report

WUF teamed up with The Harris Poll to measure pets' impact on employee performance, loyalty, wellbeing, and retention.

Being pet-supportive is not about having pets in the office.

Only 7% allow pets on-site, however 100% of companies can be pet-supportive.

The opportunity

We help companies strengthen culture and wellbeing through the Best Pet Workplaces program. Partnering with People, Culture, and Total Rewards, we turn an often-overlooked part of employees' lives into belonging, measurable engagement, and practical support — without requiring pets in the office.
