Startup announces dog as chief happiness officer
We love this idea, but we hope this golden retriever is getting the love and appreciation he needs to fulfil his role as happiness officer.
A golden retriever, considered the world's most popular dog, has been making headlines recently.
The co-founder of a tech startup, Harvested Robotics, Rahul Arepaka, shared a post on LinkedIn a few weeks ago about a new member on their team.
He wrote, "Meet our newest hire, Denver - Chief Happiness Officer. He doesn’t code. He doesn’t care. He shows up, steals hearts, and keeps the energy up. Also, we’re officially pet-friendly now. Best decision. BTW: He’s got the best perks in the company."
It seems the secret to a great work culture that factors in work wellness is all on the shoulders of a golden retriever named Denver.
Royal Canin describes these beautiful dogs as "the very definition of 'bounding dog'. Golden Retrievers are full of joyful exuberance. Also, a very gentle breed, they have an excellent temperament and are friendly and affectionate to everyone around them."
The startup in Hyderabad, India, has gone viral for its innovative hire. In a world where many people are afraid to speak up about their less-than-healthy work culture, this company is leading the way in business innovation and workplace wellness.
People agree that this is paws-itively the best hire ever.
One person said, "Love this! Every team needs a Chief Happiness Officer like Denver spreading joy, stealing snacks (and hearts), and reminding us all to take a paws and smile!"
Another wrote, "Denver’s already employee of the month — paws down! Absolutely love this vibe. Pet-friendly policies = happier teams and wagging tails. Chief Happiness Officer."
