Workday Time Audit: Meetings, Interruptions & Deep Focus
Welcome to the Workday Time Audit Survey. This survey takes approximately 9 minutes and asks about your recent experience with meetings, interruptions, and focus time. Your responses are confidential and will be reported only in aggregate — no individual answers will be shared with managers or leadership. Participation is voluntary, and you may stop at any time. There are no right or wrong answers; we simply want your honest perspective. Please answer based on your experience over the past 1–2 weeks.
