Offices of Ferray Corporation, a Tokyo-based Internet solutions company, look like any other modern workplace, except for one thing: there are a lot of cats there.
The company's managers were worried about high level of stress their employees were experiencing. One day the company's administration came up with the idea that the presence of animals in the office could help reduce stress and anxiety.
As far as many employees couldn't keep pets at home because of the tiny size of their flats, the company's managers took a very extraordinary decision to encourage their employees. The company employees were paid extra money if they took a cat from the street or a shelter. All the saved cats had to stay in the office to let the employees communicate with them every day. The idea instantly attracted the attention of the employees. Many of them agreed to participate in the project and received 5,000 yen (about $ 45) for each cat that was taken from the shelter or from the street. Some employees brought even more than one animal!
Some time has passed and the results of the new company policy became evident for everyone: the productivity has increased, the stress level has decreased, and the communication within the office has improved greatly. The employees have got a new habit. They hug and stroke cats every day and it helps them to stay more energetic and healthier within the working day.
It may seem that people have benefited more from this situation than animals. But it's not really true: cats have started living a safe and comfortable life away from the streets. And most importantly, now they have a home and family, much larger than they could ever imagine.
