Reduced Interruptions Protocol, also known as Distraction Minimization Strategy, is an accommodation designed to limit unnecessary disruptions in the workplace. This protocol helps individuals who face challenges with concentration, sensory overload, or anxiety by creating an environment that supports focused work. By minimizing interruptions such as unexpected questions, notifications, or loud noises, it fosters a calmer and more productive setting. Commonly used in both remote and in-office settings, Reduced Interruptions Protocol benefits employees with attention deficit disorders, sensory processing issues, or mental health conditions. Implementing this accommodation promotes inclusivity and respects diverse working styles, making it a valuable tool for enhancing workplace accessibility and productivity.
Begin by identifying common sources of interruptions and communicating the protocol clearly to colleagues and supervisors. Use visual cues like “Do Not Disturb” signs or status indicators in messaging apps. Schedule regular check-ins to address questions and updates, reducing unexpected disruptions. Maintain consistent application of the protocol and adjust as needed to balance collaboration with focused work time. Regularly review effectiveness and encourage feedback to keep the environment supportive.
