What Song Is Blasting on Your Company iPod? Suppose you survey a company's employees and ask them to select just one tune that expressed their true feelings about their company's culture, their work experience, and their satisfaction as employees. What song would each of them choose? And what employee behaviors would likely parallel such a song choice? Frivolous questions? Hardly.
