3 Reasons to Play Music in Your Waiting Room
There are several great reasons to play music in a waiting room, here are our top three!
- Reduce patient anxiety and put them at ease whilst they wait
Silence makes patients feel self-conscious and anxious. Background music fills this void by providing a comforting buffer and a sense of privacy. This in turn makes them feel more at ease and studies have shown it reduces anxiety.
2. Reduce your patients’ perception of their wait time.
A patient’s perception of the time they have spent waiting is shorter when background music is playing. Handy, on an afternoon when you’re running behind. (source)
3. Improve the mood and motivation of your staff
Music in the workplace fulfils a range of key functions for employees. It is especially good at helping to reduce stress, improve concentration and boost mood. As we all know, happier staff = happier customers 🙂 (source).
⭐️ TOP TIP ⭐️ Opt for a mid to low-tempo playlist to reduce arousal levels in your patient and put them at ease.
