Too many interruptions?

Long hours don't show if anyone had time to focus

Hours show how long people worked. They don't show how often the work was broken up.

Next questions

Once each team's day has longer stretches

Three questions follow, and each has its own answer: who carries too much, where the week goes, and where AI goes next.

Who is carrying too much?

Find who is stretched, who has room, and what to share out first.

How much of the week is core work?

A team doing the same work with less overhead shows each team what to change first.

Where would AI give the team time back?

Each person's AI use shows in the work they do, with a next step for each team.

Count after-hours in each person's own time zone

Connect Workday, Entra ID, Zoho or another HR system, and each person's work is matched to their role, team and location, so after-hours is counted in local time. People Intelligence starts from data the desktop app already collects.

FAQ

Questions about focus time at work

How Work Patterns reads the workday, how teams are compared, and what stays out of it.

What is focus time at work?

Focus time at work means stretches of the day long enough to get work done with no meeting or message breaking in. Since meetings, chat and switching cut the day into short pieces, the longest open stretch matters more than total hours. People Intelligence shows each team's meeting share, switches per hour and longest open stretch, against similar teams.

How do you protect focus across a team's workday?

Change the structure of the day, not how much people work. Common changes are protecting a block of time, batching email into set windows, cutting a recurring meeting, or moving evening work back into the day. People Intelligence suggests one change per team, with a starting point and a target.

How is this different from Workforce Analytics?

Workforce Analytics shows how time splits between meetings, messages and focused work for each team. People Intelligence shows how each person spends the workday, from interruptions and meetings to evening work, and suggests one change to improve focus and execution. It runs on the data Workforce Analytics already collects.

How do you reduce meetings in the workplace?

Start with the recurring meetings that have no decision owner, and compare your meeting share with teams that do the same work. People Intelligence shows each team's share of time in meetings against those teams, and suggests which to cut or shorten, with a target for the new share.

What counts as meeting overload?

There is no single line. People Intelligence compares a team's meeting share with teams in your company that do the same work. When one team spends far more of its time in meetings than its peers, that gap is the overload, and the suggestion is to bring it closer to theirs.

Does it judge whether people are focused or stressed?

No. People Intelligence doesn't judge focus, stress or productivity, and it says nothing about a person's state of mind. It shows how the day is structured, such as meeting share, switches per hour and evening work, and suggests one change to that structure.

How is after-hours work counted?

After-hours work is activity in the evening or on weekends, in each person's local time. People Intelligence shows the share for each team and whether it is spread across the team or sits with one person. Time zones come from your HR system or directory, so check they are complete first.
