Keep your pets safe this Thanksgiving! Make sure they keep their paws off the food and their noses out of the trash can.

"Employees who score low in 'life satisfaction,' a rigorously tested and widely accepted metric, stay home an average of 1.25 more days a month, a 2008 study by Gallup Healthways shows. That translates into a decrease in productivity of 15 days a year.

"Researchers at Gallup found that retail stores that scored higher on employee life satisfaction generated $21 more in earnings per square foot of store space than the other stores, adding $32 million in additional profits fro the whole chain."
