Being a little distracted at work is normal, being very distracted at work is a problem — especially if it’s coming from the tools you need to get your job done.
Nearly half of all employees are distracted at least once every 30 minutes by their workplace tools, according to a research report from software company Unily, with almost a third reporting being distracted at least once every 15 minutes by a workplace notification. This means that employees working an average 8-hour day could be experiencing over 160 distractions from their workplace digital tools each week, and it could have long-term effects on productivity.
