Now the skies are almost fully open again following the Covid pandemic, there\u2019s nothing quite like a face to face to build relationships and collaborate effectively. But that remote dynamic is no longer just the preserve for colleagues and clients who have always been in different time zones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this point in the remote work revolution, as more and more people have tapped into the potential of work-from-anywhere models, we\u2019ve woken up to some things. Maybe you\u2019d be happier in rural Yorkshire rather than a pricey metropolis. And, as smart companies have learned, great talent lives can be found in places where they may not have a physical presence. Not being limited by geography changed the way we worked entirely – even with regards to winning potential clients in countries not previously even considered.<\/p>\n

Before, you could lean over to your desk mate to ask a question. Now that they may have moved to another country, you\u2019ll have to wait until they clock in to get a response, and you might have to book a meeting in their calendar to do it.<\/p>\n

For Eva O\u2019Brian, who works at a full-service consulting agency for public services based out of London, learning to communicate across time zones became an immediate priority. Her team was beginning a project that included clients across Northern, Central, Eastern, and Western Europe, with the main stakeholders in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were working with two to three time zones at any given time,\u201d she says. \u201cAll of it was new.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the years since that project began from home, O\u2019Brian, and many other remote-first organisations are taking action – using new tools, refining communication, and front-loading with preparation – to ensure there remains some cohesion, no matter what continent or culture their employees are coming from.
\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”callout” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Some barriers to access have been removed, and we\u2019re able to engage people who didn\u2019t have the time or ability before.<\/b><\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”text: communicate with clarity” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ custom_margin=”0%||0%||true|false” custom_padding=”27px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Communicate with crystal clarity<\/b><\/h5>\n

If some members of your team or your clients are still asleep as you\u2019re getting ready to wrap up your day, good communication can be your biggest asset – but only if the communication is clear.<\/p>\n

Rather than have your colleagues do time-zone math every time there\u2019s a deadline, clarify what \u201cend of day\u201d really means. If a team member is waiting to review content being created on another coast, managers should consider shifting deadlines that ensure everyone\u2019s time is used effectively.<\/p>\n

On that note, it\u2019s never been more important for leaders to put themselves in the shoes of employees who live elsewhere; coming from a place of empathy about these kinds of topics can go a long way. \u201cIt\u2019s also about simply recognising that my end of day isn\u2019t the same as everyone\u2019s,\u201d says O\u2019Brian. \u201cI clarify time zones in everything I do: I need this at 3pm this time, which is 4pm this time, which is 5pm that time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In any given team, there can be multiple cultural backgrounds and perspectives – which could mean that phrases that feel common to you aren\u2019t so common for everyone else and vice-versa. It\u2019s not fair to expect that a phrase like midday means the same for everyone. That kind of thinking also led O\u2019Brian to consider her written communication more carefully. \u201cI think a lot more now about speaking slowly, considering what I\u2019m saying, and demystifying jargon,\u201d she says. Asking for clarity when needed is also key. For those who feel less than fluent in their given workplace\u2019s vernacular, don\u2019t be afraid to ask for clarifications, or request a relevant industry glossary from your employer to ensure everyone is speaking the same language.<\/p>\n

Providing a visual example along with a spoken presentation also works as another way to honour individual experiences. It makes the information easier to digest for anyone watching it in their own time – including visual learners, those who need to pause and process information, or people who want to take notes from a slide deck.

Let tools help you collaborate<\/b><\/h5>\n

When it comes to accommodating people living in vastly different places, leaning on technology can take a lot of stress and guesswork out of the equation. Ensuring some overlap is definitely another crucial step to building your cross-time zone plan. As much as autonomous work can be productive, sometimes it\u2019s just more efficient to gather and talk it out. If you have clear periods of the day that could work for (almost) everyone, reserve those times for meetings so that you\u2019re never bleeding into one coworker\u2019s 8am and another\u2019s 8pm.<\/p>\n

But in an asynchronous work environment, it\u2019s easy for meetings to get out of hand, as they can feel like the only way to connect with your colleagues. In O\u2019Brian\u2019s experience, you should caution against over-scheduling yourself in an attempt to recreate some facsimile of the daily office. \u201cI\u2019m quicker to ask now, \u2018what are we trying to achieve here?\u2019\u201d she says. \u201cIf we can\u2019t answer that we\u2019re probably not at the point where we need to have a meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tools like collaborative documents, auto-transcripts of meetings and recording software, can play a big part in enabling asynchronous work to function more seamlessly. Being able to record a short video of yourself explaining your idea to a colleague, or integrating screen recordings into a chat gives us the flexibility of remote work with the more organic collaboration of in-person interaction.

\u201cThings that would be a small mistake in the same time zone can become huge pains,\u201d says O\u2019Brian. \u201cThat\u2019s why you have to do the planning upfront and then make sure to remain flexible and adaptable.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If not everyone can attend a meeting it can halt momentum for an entire project – prioritise the people who absolutely need to be there, and then record or take good notes for those who couldn\u2019t join. Recording meetings to share later ensures there\u2019s still a level of human interaction possible between teammates. All the individual nuances that come from someone speaking rather than emailing.<\/p>\n

Then stay agile. \u201cAt the end of every sprint, team members would do a show and tell about the work they\u2019d been doing for the past two weeks or months, record them, and post them on an internal chat where people could ask questions asynchronously,\u201d says O\u2019Brian. \u201cThis is now a business standard for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

While so many have struggled to find their place in the remote work environment – like middle managers – this more structured approach to working across time zones can potentially help everyone get their footing. \u201cHow do we make sure we\u2019re still delivering a lot of value?\u201d asks O\u2019Brian. \u201cSometimes we have to have a bit more rigour around how we work.\u201d<\/p>\n

No matter what kind of industry you\u2019re working in, the needs of your employees and your clients can provide a roadmap to success – you just have to be willing to ask yourself if you\u2019re ready to put the work in to create a more modern working arrangement that can benefit all parties. \u201cAs a consultancy, we are led by clients,\u201d says O\u2019Brian, \u201cbut we\u2019re asking now, \u2018do we need to do this in person? What\u2019s the value?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s \u2018this is what we used to do,\u2019 that\u2019s not good enough anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
