The True Cost of Workplace Distractions: How PrivacyPod’s ROI Calculator Helps You Reclaim Productivity
How Much Are Workplace Distractions Costing You?
Every business wants to maximize productivity, but one factor that often gets overlooked is the impact of workplace distractions. Employees face an average of 25.5 interruptions per day, and according to the University of California, Irvine, it takes 23 minutes and 15 seconds to regain focus after each distraction.
Now, imagine the financial impact of these interruptions on your company. How much are you losing in wasted work hours? More importantly, what can you do to fix it? That’s where PrivacyPod’s ROI Calculator comes in—a powerful tool that quantifies the hidden costs of distractions and shows you exactly how much productivity your team can reclaim.

The Problem with Open-Plan Offices
For years, companies have embraced open-plan offices as the ultimate solution for collaboration. However, the reality is quite different. While open spaces encourage interaction, they also make employees more susceptible to constant noise, interruptions, and a lack of privacy.
According to a study by the Harvard Business Review, open-office workers experience a 70% drop in face-to-face interactions and a 50% increase in digital communication. Instead of improving collaboration, these environments reduce overall efficiency by forcing employees to work in distracting conditions.
When employees can’t focus, work takes longer, errors increase, and stress levels rise. If distractions cost each employee just 1 hour per day, that translates to over 250 lost hours per employee per year—a huge financial burden for any company.
So, how do you fix this without rebuilding your entire office?
