What Are Distraction Alerts?

Distraction alerts are reminders or notifications employees may receive when they’re distracted with non-work-related tasks. They can help your team spend less time on unproductive tasks and achieve better focus on their work.

How do distraction alerts work?

The main way distraction alerts work is by tracking app and website usage. This is typically done with productivity software installed on the employee’s work computer. The software will monitor what apps and websites are in use and send a distraction alert when a non-productive platform is detected.

How to set up distraction alerts for your team?

To set up distraction alerts in your business, you need productivity software with distraction alerts and app and website usage tracking functionality. You’ll then need to set which apps and websites are considered productive or non-productive for your team. To do this on WebWork, you need to go to Productivity > Apps & Websites on your dashboard and label the platforms.
