VIDEO. Company offers a day off in the event of the death of a pet

Losing your pet can be a real heartbreak for your owner. This company decided to allocate a day of paid leave to each person upon the death of their pet. Several company employees have already experienced the death of their cat or their dog and have been able to make use of this “advantage”. “He was 9 years old. It’s a bit of a tragic loss because he was young,” says an employee. “Explaining that we are really sad, that we are really saddened and that it is almost as if we have lost a member of our family, it is a little delicate subject that we cannot discuss with everyone“, she explains.

Around the world, a few companies, notably in Japan or the United States, have put in place a leave in the event of the death of their pet, but no law imposes it. For Adrien, co-founder of Wamiz, converting a few companies already would be a big step. “We see us today, when we recruit people, the fact of being “pet friendly”, of having this sensitivity for the pet can be a determining element in the choice of the candidate.“, he explains.
