Tips for Working Across Time Zones
Successfully collaborating with colleagues in different time zones requires intentional planning and communication strategies.
Best Practices
- ✓ Document everything — async communication is key
- ✓ Rotate meeting times — share the inconvenience
- ✓ Use shared calendars — showing time zones
- ✓ Set response expectations — define SLAs
- ✓ Record important meetings — for those who can't attend
