Background music at a workplace is out of sync with what workers need to do their jobs.

Music misfit can lead employees to feel more fatigued, have trouble focusing, and not really enjoy being at work.

The problem is worse for people who have difficulty screening out background noise from their environment.

Workers may be happier and more productive if they are allowed to listen to their own music when appropriate.

Study suggests that there are a lot of benefits, including productivity, engagement and well-being.
