A piece of research looking at the benefits of staff singing in choirs. The research found that work well being increased after the singing programme, both immediately after a session and cumulatively over time. Participants mentioned feeling increasingly enthusiastic, positive and inspired to meet the challenges they experienced at work. The authors conclude that although there is insufficient evidence to strongly recommend singing groups for staff, this study suggests they are likely to be beneficial to those who attend.
