Title: I am a software engineer and I spend most of time in front of computer. While working, rather than listening to any music I though I should listen the recitation of Holy Quran. But the problem is 1) I wont be able to fully concentrate on recitation(because of work) 2) I will get interrupted by my colleges as well so need to pause the recitation in between. Will it be good to listen the Recitation of Holy Quran in such circumstances? Thanks in advance.

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

Listening music is haram. Yes, it is allowable to be busy in work while the Quran is recited. But, you should stop the recitation fro the time when you need to talk to anyone and get engaged in it.
