How to overcome time zone differences?
As the company that successfully works with clients around the globe, we know how to ensure fast and high-quality delivery regardless of the time zone. Below, there are tips that help overcome time zone differences:
Use special services to check time all over the world
Check what is the time in your employee's or client’s time zone. This will come in handy when you need to set a call. InternetDevels uses timeanddate.com service.
Use Agile methodology
It is much easier to control web development companies with the help of Agile methodology, that ensures constant communication and transparency. Special trackers and CRMs are used to control the progress.
Create calendar invites
Remember, that you always have to send a calendar invite to a client or employee when working in different time zones. This will guarantee that you’ve got the correct time and that you both know when you’re actually meeting.
Watch deadlines
If the time difference is more than 8 hours, you may have to structure your day differently to get work done on time.
Be aware of cultural differences
Work habits in the USA, Germany or Asia differ a lot. Some regions take lunch at different times or don’t work traditional hours. Be very sensitive to cultural differences.
Don’t be afraid to create global projects!
As you can see, working in different time zones is not that challenging as it might seem. Do not be in doubt when it comes to the question of hiring or collaborating with foreign professionals.
