A Japanese company encourages staff to bring their cats to the office.
DEADLINES, computer crashes, presentations, meetings – the modern workplace can be stressful. But instead of chewing your nails to the quick or sending your fidget spinner into overdrive you could follow the example of one Japanese IT firm.
