I think africans are very soulful. That's our defining charecteristic. We reach out to other souls through song and dance, but it isn't always a celebration. We sing to express good or bad emotions and dance to form a bond, a togetherness in that emotion. To embrace this part of our culture in a work environment, I would recommend that soft music gets played along corridors.Any type of music. It has a very soothing and relaxing effect on our souls, we'll probably handle stress better! This is one area where we differ a lot with Europeans because they do not appreciate our music and regard it as noise.As black companies emerge perhaps they could introduce this concept and it might just spread to the rest of the country. The government could take a leading role and introduce this in their offices. PS.
