On behalf of the entire OZTOPDOG team, thank you to everyone who entered and helped make our 5th edition such a tremendous success.

But why dogs?
5 years ago, we discovered global research indicating that having dogs around the workplace can have a postitive impact on employees mental health.
Benefits included enhanced workplace culture, stronger psychological contracts, increased employer brand, lower absenteeism, positive mental health, reinforced organisational values, lower stress levels and increased communication.
OZ Top Dog is a feel-good competition to celebrate our furry best friends and shed some light on the positive impacts they have on our lives and mental health.
