Fortune just gave a big shout-out to 12 pet-friendly companies. On their list: Workday, which shares a co-founder with Maddie’s Fund®, Dave Duffield.
From Fortune:
Workday, the Pleasanton, Calif.-based maker of finance and human resources software, knows all about taking great care of employees. Turtle, an adorable sombrero-loving dog owned by an employee named Jennifer, runs around the office to “keep the mood light” and make employees smile, as Workday says. Employees at the company’s Pleasanton, Salt Lake City, and Victoria, Canada offices are welcome to bring their dogs to work, and it hosts an annual Bring Your Dog to Workday party at its headquarters. Other pet-friendly company policies include financial assistance for pet adoptions.
They didn’t mention, but we will, that Dave and Cheryl Duffield founded Maddie’s Fund to honor their Miniature Schnauzer, Maddie, who always made them laugh and comforted them during stressful business times when Dave was launching a startup software company. Maddie was with Dave and Cheryl from 1987-1997 and continues to inspire them today.
