The music industry has new proof that you should listen to music while you work. In a survey commissioned by U.K. licensing organizations PPL and PRS for Music, 77 percent of surveyed businesses say playing music in the workplace increases staff morale and improves the atmosphere.
The survey, conducted by market research and survey company Vision Critical, included 1,008 small to mid-size business owners in a range of industries. The licensers’ report did not mention specific jobs. Logically, though, while music can help get aerobics instructors or pole dancers going, librarians may never experience the benefits of having music played in their workplaces.
