Edge Recruitment supporting the search for Oz’s top dog

July 9, 2024

Edge Recruitment is excited to be a supporter of the 2024 #OZTOPDOG competition in partnership with people2people.


TOPDOG celebrates our furry best friends and sheds some light on the positive impacts they have on our lives and mental health, especially in the workplace.


Global research indicates that benefits of having dogs around the workplace include enhanced workplace culture, stronger psychological contracts, increased employer brand, lower absenteeism, positive mental health, reinforced organisational values, lower stress levels and increased communication.


We can also learn some leadership lessons from dogs, and they might just be the key to getting employees back in the office!


With 400 pooches entering the competition last year and over 20,000 votes, this year is set to be bigger and better. Three awards are once again up for grabs:


  • Top Office Dog, recognising our top canine colleagues
  • Top Dog with a Job, celebrating the positive impact of working dogs
  • Top Dog People's Choice, shining a light on the best dog stories across Australia and voted on by the public.

Nominate your furry friend by 9th August for a chance to win the coveted TOPDOG trophy and prize pack – and the title of Oz’s Top Dog!
