LISTENING tomusic lifts moraleand makes for a happy workforce, a final-year management student at Waterford Institute of Technology has discovered.

Student David Carter suggested employers should allow their workforce listen to music as it motivates and makes them more productive.

The 22-year-old’s thesis, “The effectiveness of music and arts-based training as a motivational factor in organisations” forms part of his WIT’s Bachelor of Business degree. I spent an entire year researching this and proved that workers who listen to music are a lot happier and the music lifts their morale,” David said.
