OVERVIEW: As part of our Wellness Program at Mt Hood Meadows we have created a program that will allow responsible dog owners who qualify, the opportunity to bring their dog to work for the purpose of promoting employee morale, job satisfaction, and creating a pleasant work environment. Numerous studies have shown that the presence of well-behaved dogs under the watchful eyes of their owners can reduce stress, contribute to a fun work environment, promote movement/activity, increase productivity and creativity and decrease absenteeism. A study done by the CDC also found that pets triggered workplace interactions that would not normally take place thereby improving co-worker relationships and teamwork. This program has been developed with the understanding that not everyone appreciates the presence of dogs and timely communication is encouraged should any issues arise. While Mt Hood Meadows supports the positive benefits that a socialized and well behaved dog may provide to the work environment, we respect the interests of all employees. Employees who have allergies and/or fears will not be subjected to situations within their immediate work environment that exacerbates these conditions. Employees with allergies and/or other conditions that might be adversely affected by exposure to dogs should notify their Director/VP or designee of said conditions. This information will be considered prior to granting approval for bringing a dog to the workplace. In some instances where exposure cannot be prevented, the dog owner may not be allowed to bring their dog to work. This policy may be adopted or revoked at any time at the sole discretion of the responsible Director. In order to offer this privilege, all employees** are required to observe some listed rules.
To qualify for this privilege the following conditions must be met. Check boxes to indicate you've read the section.(Required)
When you bring your dog to work the following conditions must be met:(Required)

A Review Board consisting of 3-5 people will handle complaints along with other issues and convene to review the
policy.
