Benefits of SingMates @ Work
What’s in it for you?
Besides the fact that there are already many others who do it – especially in the UK and Ireland – workplace choirs can show off quite a fascinating return on investment:
Personal Wellbeing
- First of all: Singing is fun and frees your mind! You will get lots of happy moments that are just so good for the soul!
- The power of singing together with others is incredible: It triggers the release of all four “happiness hormones” (dopamine, serotonin, endorphin and oxytocin) in the body, while at the same time, reduces the levels of the “stress hormone” cortisol. This has the effect that group singing promotes trust and togetherness, creating a sense of belonging amongst the singers.
- Singing is also good for relaxation, increases lung capacity, improves posture, boosts the immune system and increases mental alertness due to greater oxygenation. Not to mention its impact on your ability to memorize and coordinate your many different body parts.
- Last but not least, the vocal training involved has big benefits to customer service and sales teams who rely on their voice.
Teamwork & Employee Relationships
- A workplace choir can make your teams more effective as it allows staff members to build new friendships and connections across departments and levels or to deepen existing relationships via the non-work-relevant activity of singing.
- Singing in a group encourages people to open up in front of others, doing relaxing and sometimes amusing warmup exercises, for example. Singers’ confidence benefits from being pushed out of their comfort zone, especially in a performance. This can help them become better communicators and presenters.
- Singing also creates an opportunity for workmates to learn from each other as workplace choirs will naturally bring people with different musical skills and backgrounds together.
