Staying focused in a busy workplace can be tricky even for experienced employees. There are plenty of things to take care of - from emails to meetings to phone calls, which can all affect the focus employees require to put the best in their work. Therefore, it is always necessary to split large tasks into small parts which require less time and also the end goals seem more achievable. Employees must also work alongside focused, dedicated people that'll not only not inspire them to work the same way but also reduce the chances of getting interrupted. Also, if there is an interrupting or noisy colleague to deal with, it's always better to tell them politely about the problem without hurting their emotions. Ill health can be a big distraction to employee productivity, that's why employees must take proper care of their physical as well as mental health to improve their ability to focus.
