WORKPLACE RESET FRAMEWORK

A structured, evidence-based model for animal-assisted workplace wellbeing, designed for high-pressure environments that need more than a team morning tea.

Trusted by Queensland Government departments. Backed by measurable outcomes. Delivered by certified therapy dog specialists.

63% average stress reduction  ·  72% energy increase  ·  100% recommendation rate

Many organisations have experienced 'pet visits'. A dog comes in, people smile and then it's back to business. The impact fades within hours.

The Workplace Reset Framework™ is a purposefully designed, four-phase model that guides participants through a scientifically grounded sequence, from physiological regulation through to genuine psychological restoration. Every session follows this framework. Every session is measured. Every session produces documented outcomes your HR and leadership teams can report on.

✓  Participants transition intentionally from work mode to reset mode

✓  Environment is prepared to signal safety and permission to pause

✓  Therapy dogs are introduced; comfort and consent established

✓  Breathing and grounding cues prime the nervous system

✓  Structured dog interaction activates the parasympathetic nervous system

✓  Measurable reduction in cortisol and physiological stress markers

✓  Sensory presence replaces cognitive load

✓  This phase directly drives the stress reduction captured in outcome data

✓  Social bonding through dogs extends to human connection

✓  Increased psychological safety and team openness

✓  Isolation and siloing begin to dissolve

✓  Particularly powerful in high-pressure, high-caseload departments

✓  Participants anchor their restored state before re-entering work

✓  Brief reflection prompts support self-awareness

✓  A clear, intentional close marks the transition back

✓  Post-session data collected to measure outcomes

The framework is only as effective as the animals who deliver it. All Therapy Dogs Queensland dogs are sourced from assistance dog breeding lines. They are the same heritage as guide dogs and PTSD support animals. Exceptional temperament. Certified. Professional-grade.

Every program includes pre and post session measurement. Your outcome report documents stress changes, energy metrics, satisfaction data and qualitative feedback themes, ready for your HR, WHS, or EAP reporting.
