Best time for international meetings
Finding a suitable time for global teams can be challenging. A good rule of thumb is to look for overlapping working hours, typically between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM local time. If an overlap isn't possible, try rotating the meeting times so that no single location always has to meet during their evening or early morning.
How to schedule meetings across time zones
- Use a visual planner: Tools like this Meeting Planner highlight sleeping vs. working hours to prevent accidental late-night scheduling.
- Define core hours: Establish a window where team members across different time zones are expected to overlap.
- Be flexible: For locations like Tokyo and New York, someone will likely have to compromise. Spread the inconvenience evenly over time.
