Music 'can create a positive atmosphere' in a workplace

Businesses looking to create a more positive environment in their workplace might want to make use of some appropriate music, it has been suggested, which may interest those focusing on their management skills.

According to Ellis Rich, chairman of PRS for Music, music might have a role to play when it comes to things like staff motivation and customer retention.

He stated: "Music is a key element - it creates a positive atmosphere, enhances the mood and influences spending behaviour."

Firms could see their profits positively impacted through the use of music, Mr Rich went on to say, with a "pleasurable environment" being created by it.

The commentator was speaking after the publication of new figures from Entertainment Media Research and published by Music Works, relating to the benefits of music among businesses.

As many as 82 per cent of respondents to a business survey noted that their company benefits from the use of music, Music Works revealed.
