Working In A Remote Team - Dealing With Timezones

Our guidance on working with colleagues in other timezones.

At home, in school, or at college, you probably only thought about time zones when planning a vacation. In the workplace, however, the impact of time zones can vary greatly. If you’re part of a co-located team, they might not matter at all. With offices in different time zones, they’ll affect you a little. And if your peers are spread across the globe, time zones can have a major impact. Whether you’re dealing with a one hour difference or a twelve hour difference, time zones add an extra difficulty to managing your work and working with others. In this guidance, we’ll give you some simple things to think about to make you more effective.
