Paws-itively Perfect
How Puppy Therapy at Baker Labels Promotes Workplace Wellbeing

At Bakers, we don’t just print labels—we create a workplace that’s as vibrant and engaging as the products we produce. As part of our ongoing commitment to staff wellbeing, we recently partnered with Paws in Work to host a day of puppy therapy for our team. And let us tell you, it was paws-itively perfect!
Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters to Us
As a family-owned business with over 100 employees, we know that happy teams create the best work. Balancing the demands of a fast-paced production environment with moments of joy and relaxation is crucial. That’s why initiatives like puppy therapy are part of our wider commitment to staff wellbeing, ensuring Bakers is a great place to work, collaborate, and grow.


A Day to Remember: Puppies, Smiles, and Stress Relief
On the 17th January, our Brentwood HQ transformed into a haven of wagging tails, floppy ears, and big smiles. Thanks to the amazing team at Paws in Work, our employees enjoyed stress-relieving cuddle sessions with the most adorable four-legged Chow Chow visitors. From playful pups chasing toys to sleepy snuggles in laps, every moment was filled with joy and relaxation.
Here’s what some of our team members had to say:
• “The puppy therapy session was the highlight of my week! It’s such a thoughtful way to show appreciation for the team.”
• “There’s something magical about puppy cuddles—it really boosted my mood and helped me feel recharged.”
The Science Behind Puppy Therapy
Did you know that spending time with dogs can lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and increase oxytocin (the “love” hormone)? Puppy therapy is more than just fun—it’s a scientifically proven way to promote mental health and wellbeing. For our team, it provided a much-needed opportunity to pause, recharge, and connect with colleagues in a relaxed environment.


Investing in our people
Puppy therapy is just one of the many ways we show our commitment to workplace wellbeing. From social events to wellbeing initiatives, we’re always looking for new ways to support our team. Whether it’s organising wellbeing events, fostering professional development, or simply creating moments of joy, we believe that investing in our people is the key to success.
