AWAY Business 4.7

The AWAY Business application offers a practical solution to address the challenge of cell phone distractions in the workplace without compromising device functionality or employee productivity. Its comprehensive time tracking features deliver timestamped data on employee engagement, facilitating transparent monitoring of phone usage throughout working hours. Developed with an understanding of the potential for mobile phones to disrupt workflow, the app promotes accountability by providing statistical insights into individual phone activity.

Employers gain clear visibility into how employee time is allocated by accessing detailed analyses of when and for how long each user interacts with their device. This data supports informed decisions regarding cell phone expenses, identifies which employees are most and least engaged with their devices, and aids in managing overall productivity. Employees benefit from the assurance that they maintain access to communication channels for emergencies, while their personal privacy remains protected.

The app also serves as a tool to mitigate the social media-driven distraction culture and encourages employees to maximize their focus during work hours.
