Whistling while you work...
Introducing music could be highly beneficial to your warehouse, distribution or general manufacturing business. But this is nothing new.
‘MusicWhileYouWork’ was a BBC radio programme that played non-stop popular music, between 1940 and 1967.
The programme provided music that aimed to help factory workers become more productive. Music While you Work proved so popular within the industry that they introduced an extra broadcast in the late evening for night-shift workers.
To this day, music remains a simple and accessible way to potentially keep stress levels down, reduce sickness levels, boost positivity and focus the mind.
