Establish Clear Working Hours: Clearly define your working hours and share these with your team to ensure everyone knows when you're available. This helps manage expectations and prevents burnout from being on-call around the clock. Rotate Meeting Times: If regular meetings are necessary, rotate their times to share the inconvenience of very early or late hours across the team. This keeps one person or group from always having to adjust their schedule

Compromise is key --- China taking a call at 7pm instead of 4pm so that you can join at 6am instead of 3am? Yes! Next time the opposite - They join at 6am and you take the call at 7pm.

Taking a contrarian approach, if it's a large time zone difference say Israel to New York, I've committed to working Israel hours one day a week. In this case it doubled my overlap with my team and also showed my commitment to them.

Established working hours are important as well as having an automatic responder on your email that lets people know that you will respond to their emails the following business day if they have emailed your after your business hours are over. For team members that are in very diverse time sets. Set 1 meeting time that accomodate as many staff as possible and stick to that time so that your team honors it.

This is a topic I’m very familiar with! What I’ve found works is to use a combination of solutions. - within your teams and/or organization you must all understand the overlapping or “core” hours when a majority (if not everyone) is available and on shift or at their work stations. - set up group distros, Team chats, etc. for the appropriate departments and also for the relevant time zones. - create contingency/emergency plans and practice them! Ensure you have something in place for if you need to contact an individual or team across another time zone. Especially if your job is one that requires urgency!
