Delivery Confirmation

“The economy is getting stronger” Jim Quigley, CEO of GoCanvas stated, “but in 2014, we found that customers were asking for new ways to use GoCanvas without adding employees to their companies. Our testers have found time savings up to 25 percent!”

Animals at work isn’t a new phenomenon. A recent study found dogs in the workplace reduce stress and absenteeism while also increasing productivity of humans. Major companies such as Amazon, Facebook, and Ben & Jerry’s all allow dogs at work every day. The new GoCanvas feature allows various animals now in offices to become true members of the team.
