  • Unproductive screen time
  • App/website usage sessions

Example: too many apps on the screen

Having too many apps on the screen is a significant time-waster and can speak volumes about employee working habits and workload.

Employee distraction score was too high & this helped!

One of the remote software developers started missing project deadlines, leading the manager to believe that the employee had lost interest in the job due to being distracted by irrelevant activities. However, after implementing WorkTime, it was discovered that this employee was actually working overtime and was overwhelmed with too many diverse tasks. Additionally, online meetings were taking up too much time regularly. After optimizing the work process, the employee returned to normal and is now meeting deadlines on time.

Effortlessly detect factors contributing to employee distraction

Our algorithm evaluates distraction scores based on various factors. It helps identify the most common distractions in the workplace and implement targeted improvements.

  • Unorganized desktops

    • A cluttered desktop reduces focus and wastes time as employees struggle to locate necessary files and documents. WorkTime provides insights into desktop organization habits, allowing you to identify individuals who may benefit from organization tools or training. An organized computer setup helps avoid distractions at work and decreases the overall distraction score.

  • Too many browser tabs

    • The more tabs on the screen, the more time an employee spends searching for the necessary one. Too many tabs in browsers are common distractions and time-wasters. That’s why WorkTime considers this factor when calculating employee distraction scores. Monitor employee distraction score to help your employees detect and avoid distractions at work.

  • Unproductive activities

    • Using apps unrelated to work tasks can derail productivity and waste valuable time, creating workplace distractions. WorkTime computer usage monitoring categorizes apps either as productive/unproductive. Employees lose their focus when they use unproductive apps. Thus, our software increases employee distraction scores for every 10 minutes of unproductive time. Analyze WorkTime reports and reduce workplace distractions effectively.

  • Internet browsing

    • Web browsing can lead to time wasted on non-work-related activities. It definitely reduces overall productivity, resulting in excessive distraction scores. WorkTime internet usage tracking assists in identifying distracted workers based on their unproductive website usage. Valuable findings from our reports will be useful in finding ways to avoid distractions at work.

  • Short breaks

    • Short breaks could be a sign of poor focus caused by workplace distractions. WorkTime’s active/idle time monitoring detects and analyzes this factor. Excessive computer idle time indicates that the employee is not working at this moment. Hence, WorkTime increases employee distraction scores for every 30 minutes of idle time.

  • Frequent switches between productive/unproductive activities

    • If the sessions are too short (less than 1 minute), it can be a sign that an employee cannot focus well on work tasks. Thus, frequent productive/unproductive activity switches are related to office distractions. WorkTime increases the distraction score for this behavior.

  • Unproductive online meetings

    • Online meetings can be time-consuming, especially when they have no clear purpose because of poor management. WorkTime comprehensive reports analyze how online meetings affect employee productivity. One of our clients successfully boosted productivity and active time thanks to WorkTime.
