At Whitehall, we are welcoming and friendly, and this week we hosted a special day for our cutest ever visitors: our smart, fun and snuggly dogs!
We are animal lovers and enjoy having our playful friends in the office for the occasional day. It helps to create a more sociable environment and is a great way to end the week.
“It has been scientifically proven that petting a dog has a positive impact on mental wellbeing and reduces stress – which is an especially good thing for a high-pressure environment. Having dogs at work also encourages owners to exercise – even non-owners offered to walk the dogs. As a result, our employees are happier and more productive.” – Ellie, HR Manager

Ralph at Key Accounts
We have taken this opportunity as well to promote The National Animal Welfare Trust, a charity we will be supporting through a pledge. The scheme could double or even quadruple our donations, we are therefore very excited about getting involved with the cause and support re-homing hundreds of pets. If you would like to donate, you can do so here – we have already raised £100!
