Cathy Acratopulo, managing director and co-founder of HR consultancy firm LACE Partners, said music can be an important part of how employees enhance their working from home experience.
“At LACE when we began remote working at the beginning of the current crisis we wanted to use music as a collaborative exercise to keep our people engaged.
“We created a collective Spotify ‘lockdown’ playlist and have subsequently followed up by developing our own internal ‘LACE radio’, which is edited and produced in house and distributed to the team, including song requests.
“But we’ve also looked at keeping morale positive by undertaking a variety of other activities including regular daily challenges from our CSR team, regular one-to-one check-ins, collective ‘pub quiz’ online games and events, as well as a Friday ‘virtual Prosecco hour’, which is a continuation of what we do with our people on a Friday when we’re normally in the office together.”
Pretty Little Thing, Universal and Time Out London were among the top brands putting together working from home playlists.
The research comes as 60% of Brits find themselves working from home, according to research by comparison platform Finder.
