Last Friday was SPA's Virtual Take Your Pet to Work Day! Employees had a blast showing off their furry friends in the (virtual) office. From dogs and cats to birds and guinea pigs, these SPA pets were ready to assist their owners with any task. Employees were challenged to snap photos of their non-human family members and share them by creating memes. As the video shows, the pets were not shy and there was no shortage of employee creativity! Congratulations to our three gift card winners! Thank you to the Human Resources team for organizing the fun event and enabling us to meet other members of the SPA family! #WeAreSPA #TakeYourPetToWorkDay
