hi.......Welcome to board...
Music at workplace can definitely be a motivator for employees...it reduces work stress. Soft music could be played at work premise. I have seen in diamond industries, where diamond cutters have to work patiently and lot of concentration is required. Music is being played there, coz their job is very tedious..and it has been observed that it enhances their productivity and quality of work...even loud music doesnt affect their concentration. we know that nowadays doctors also use music theropy while doing surgeries.............I have seen in pizza hutt where once in a week all waiters can dance on music while serving...!then why not at work place??
To my mind, soft music could be played......

Hi,
Music at workplace does help in creativity as well as productivity. There is a report I had come across which confirmed the difference in performance of a group when they were treated to Mozart's Symphony.

Dear all,
I am a PhD Candidate and Music Consultant, and I am currently researching the effects of music listening in offices.
Music can be hugely beneficial for some, but very distracting for others. I would say that there are no easy answers to how music can best be used in an office. There are many complex factors to be aware of. The best thing is to evaluate and analyse each office environment on a case-by-case basis, in order to get the right balance.
Please visit my website www.musicatwork.net for more information, or contact me.

Hi Guys
I am a final year student at Cass Business School in London and I am researching whether music increases productivity of those doing repetitive tasks.
After reading your posts I would be interested to know has anyone actually implemented music in the workplace and seen actual resuslts of improvement. If so would you be able to give me a specific example and rates of improvement.
Looking forward to hearing from you all
