Companies try to create a "homey atmosphere" for their workers. When allowing pets to be brought in, firms rely on research that shows the positive impact of cats and dogs on work processes. For example, experts from the Central University of Michigan (USA) have proved that pet-friendly office employees are less prone to have conflict with each other and become more responsive. Moreover, animals set people up for a positive mood and reduce nervousness levels.

The PAW evaluation process takes about 30 days to complete, and the results (pass or fail) are sent out upon completion of the process.
