Did you know that most U.S. households own a pet? Here at Targa we are thrilled to be right in step with this statistic, showing that our percentage of pet ownership aligns closely with the national average. But, what truly sets us apart, is when you consider the fact that many of us have more than one pet. With multiple furry friends in our midst, Targa may exceed expectations, putting us ahead of the pack.

The power of pets is remarkable. Whether they have fur, feathers, or scales, pets of all kinds offer companionship, lending a listening ear (most pets have ears) and a furry or feathery shoulder to lean on. Research has shown that simply interacting with animals can lead to a decrease in stress-related cortisol levels and lower blood pressure, highlighting some of the benefits they bring into our lives.

We prioritize the well-being of all of our employees, taking into consideration allergies, air quality, and maintaining a harmonious office environment. To ensure everyone’s needs are met, visits from our furry friends are limited to one dog per day. This measure helps us maintain a healthy and respectful workplace while still allowing for the positive benefits of pet visits.

Whether you prefer scales to feathers or long tails to short, we believe that the benefits of pet ownership can foster a more harmonious, productive and inclusive work culture.

You know that old saying, “An office that eats together, stays together” Well, maybe it’s a bit of a stretch, but there’s something undeniably special about sharing a meal. Here at Targa, we’re all about making sure our fantastic team is not just working hard but also feeling their absolute best, and that’s where our weekly office lunch comes in. Around here, we take our food seriously because we believe that a well-fed team is a happy and productive one.

No need to search for food; we’ve streamlined it, making the most of our work hours and boosting productivity. We understand that variety is important, so we keep a range of snacks within arm’s reach-from wholesome trail mix to a bit (a lot) of chocolate, and the occasional donut. On extra special days, you might just find the spicy aroma of homemade cookies filling the air. It’s the little things that make our workdays not just productive, but downright enjoyable.

At our table, there’s always something to suit everyone’s taste and dietary needs. Sharing great meals goes beyond our amazing team; we extend it to our clients as well. We are constantly on the lookout, planning the next client visit and outing. So, whether you find yourself in our neck of the woods or we’re in yours, please know you will always have a seat at our table.
