Since the employees are under pressure because they are overworked, the heads of the organizations introduce various facilities and activities in Japan to keep the morale level of their employees high. These things can be seen in almost every developed country and it is special that most of them can bring their pets into the institutions. They even raise pets from a young age with proper training, so taking a pet to the office is very easy. In a country like Japan where pets are common, such a move is not surprising because their pet population is more than the number of children living there. There are 16.5 million children under the age of 15 and 21.3 million pet dogs and cats living in Japan. Even though there are so many pets, most Tokyo residents cannot afford to keep a pet in their homes.
The reason for this is that many apartment buildings in the densely populated city of Tokyo do not allow pets. Because of this, there are restaurants called Cat Cafes all over Tokyo, giving Tokyo residents the opportunity to spend time with their pet cats while at the restaurant. But because that time is very limited, a company in Japan has arranged to raise cats in their workplace.
Ferry Corporation is the name of the company and 9 cats live in this office in Tokyo. Cats can roam freely in the office and employees can give them plenty of petting. The head of the company says that they also perform unfriendly activities such as walking on keyboards, wiring, turning off computers and scratching walls. Still, more than that, the benefits to the company are much greater.
He further said that the office work is going much better than before because the employees who were engaged in their duties quietly and alone, after the arrival of the cats, have a good communication and understanding between them by talking about cats with other employees. You can bring your own pets to this company and employees who do not have pets will be given a stipend of US$ 45 per month if they keep a pet.
