Lidar com falhas de comunicação em equipes remotas devido a fusos horários. Você está pronto para preencher a lacuna de forma eficaz?

Understand the time zones you are working with and how to reach the majority of your employees. Then it can be helpful to establish a common time zone that reaches the most employees during the workday. The common time zone will help you establish virtual meetings including town halls that will reflect in local time to your attendees.

Managing remote teams across time zones demands careful planning and effective communication. By mapping out time zones, leveraging technology, and fostering a culture of flexibility and empathy, teams can optimize collaboration and productivity. Successfully navigating these challenges can transform time zone differences into a competitive advantage, enabling around-the-clock operations!

In addition to being aware of the time zones and creating these slots where you do most of the cooperation, it’s a great scale to learn how to work asynchronous. This sometimes requires more time for project management, but if you know your peers and teammates, working this way, doesn’t necessarily eat a lot of time in my opinion, and it can even give time as you are able to work when you are not stuck in meetings that you probably didn’t need in the first place.

Working in a big corporate, I think it’s amazing to have assistant that works across programs in a platform like Microsoft 365 (Office). From experience, I might independent such as Slack and Trello more, but after being in corporate for more than a year again, I see so many great opportunities being collected on one platform. One on the other hand is to have a common understanding of what channels we should use globally. This is something that is not only culture, but also varies a lot from country to country.

In my experience, it’s not as easy as it sounds to set these rules or guidelines. in big and remote teams you will have different cultures, age groups, time zones, technical skills, and more that differs a lot. What might sound as a great idea for one team in one country might not really work for a team in another location because of the way it’s put together cultures and age groups. While it’s important to have guidelines and expectations, I think it’s also necessary to be as adaptable as possible, depending on what team you are cooperating with in. The goal should never be about what tools are being used, but about reaching the goal in the project or team.

Working between different time salons varying with up to 12 hours. It can be confusing to know when people are on and off work. The most important thing is to try to respect other peoples time and quiet hours. What I effective is to have a delay on email sent outs. They will only land in the inbox between 8 AM and 6 PM in their local time.
