Work in Different Time Zones 

Working in an international team with employees from different time zones is already a regular business practice. The opportunities and never-ending possibilities of remote work have made it possible. Many people choose to start working in an international company remotely because it may offer a lot more benefits than a locally found job. This is how companies end up having employees from Japan to London, New York, or even Los Angeles. It then becomes a challenge to be able to function productively while having everyone work at different times.  

Companies have to create a structure for how they will communicate. Firstly, it’s crucial to understand how time zones work and to figure out the time zones of all the employees. Most of the time employees will communicate asynchronously and everyone can still remain productive like that. With distributed work, learning to be good in async communication can be a factor for success. If you want to organize team meetings, then you need to be careful while scheduling. You should know the remote working hours of each employee and pick the optimal time when everyone can meet. When you are ready to have the meeting, it is important to track work progress and the times when everybody joined the meeting. When each employee knows when he or she has a meeting happening, it will be easier to plan the working day. 

What Are Unix Timestamps? 

Unix time is a system of tracking the total as a running sum of seconds. People started to count it in 1970 when the Unix Epocha started. Unix timestamp is the number of seconds between the start of Epocha and the current moment. This piece of coded numbers shows what is the current time for the person in his or her current place. You can convert the Unix timestamp with a special tool.

Employees from different time zones can easier follow deadlines and be on track with all tasks. It is already a challenge to have effective collaboration in teamwork and meetings with international people.
