This Study Proves Bad Office Music Might Be Driving Employees Slowly Insane

Have you ever been at a business . . . heard the music being played . . . and thought, “I’d go CRAZY if I had to work here all day”?

A new study has found that bad background music at work can destroy employees’ moods and productivity.

Of course, “bad” music is subjective.  But even if it’s “upbeat and customer-friendly,” it can be mentally draining to the workers if it’s not what they like to listen to.

Think about the holidays:  Employees who enjoy Christmas music can seem MUCH more engaged and pleasant than the ones who are one “All I Want for Christmas” away from a psychotic break.

Big corporate places probably won’t change anything, but small businesses can benefit by allowing the staff to pick their own music (within reason) . . . or by creating “quiet zones” where they’re able to escape the madness.
