Walmart to motivate workers by stopping Bieber and Celine soundtrack

Walmart announced at a company meeting several new strategies to increase morale for its store employees, notably eliminating the endless din of Celine Dion and Justin Bieber on the loudspeakers. From Fortune:


The company is bringing back Radio Walmart after 9 years, meaning an actual DJ will keep things fresh, rather than playing the same handful of CD’s over and over as many stores did, driving countless associates (and customers, too, probably) batty. Even better, individual stores will have more control over their thermostats rather than having headquarters decide…

Walmart also announced a looser dress code. Starting next month, associates will be able to wear black and khaki denim. Those doing more physical chores will be allowed blue denim too. Previously, denim was banned except for the store shelves.


One way Walmart is motivating workers: Less Celine Dion on the PA system
