Music used as mood booster for deskless workers

1 min read Workplace issues/your health
A quarter (25 per cent) of UK deskless workers spend eight or more hours on their feet daily, while 43 per cent are on foot for over five, according to research by PPL PRS. This includes workers in the healthcare industry.

Nearly three in four (72 per cent) of these workers experienced physical fatigue and 68 per cent have suffered with sore legs or feet. A further 44 per cent have endured mental fatigue.

Music as therapy

The research revealed that almost nine in 10 (86 per cent) of respondents have played music in the workplace to feel better. Four-fifths (82 per cent) recognised its mood-boosting benefits during a shift, while nearly half (45 per cent) said a good tune helps them feel energised and focused when working.

Pop (66 per cent) and R&B (24 per cent) are the music genres commonly played in standing workplaces (where allowed).
