  1. OUTSOURCING? Here’s How to Approach Time Zone Differences

  2. SHOULD YOU REQUIRE REMOTE WORKERS TO WORK IN YOUR TIMEZONE? OPTION OPTION 01 02 Do you want to work closely with your developers, or do you trust them to manage and develop your project with a little leeway? Have your outsourcing team show up and do the work outside of your normal office hours. Ask that they work inside your office hours for closer communication.

  3. UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS WILL YOU FIND TOP TALENT? Most of your success will come from working with the best available talent, both in leadership and development.

  4. BETTER CONDITIONS ATTRACT BETTER TALENT Consider allowing your remote team to work in their own time zones and having them turn in the work as you start your day. The top 1% of talent won’t tolerate being “on-call” all 24 hours of the day. If you require your outsourced workers to work odd hours, the quality of your project might suffer.

  5. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TIME ZONE OVERLAP It’s entirely possible to allow your developers to work their comfortable hours that don’t perfectly align with your office hours. However, certain hours will still “overlap.” During this overlap you can maintain all your communication and make urgent updates as needed. Your remote team will up the project, according to your direction, outside of your office hours.

  6. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TIME ZONE OVERLAP A normal work shift in India might be 9 AM to 6 PM. If your development partner was willing to stretch the hours, they might come in a little earlier or stay a little later. This time frame would make it possible for them to schedule times to connect with clients all over the world.

  7. COMMUNICATE YOUR PREFERENCES Most good remote agencies will offer an in-depth consultation before starting a project and continue to provide communication touchpoints. Remember, they want to keep you happy so you keep coming back for more projects. Your remote partner will be happy to keep up with whatever level of communication is best for you, even while working in opposite time zones.

  8. COMMUNICATE YOUR PREFERENCES Schedule set times to communicate. Usually, certain hours “overlap” in your timezone and your remote team’s timezone. Good remote agencies will work their communication time into your schedule.

  9. CONCLUSION By implementing this method, you can allow your remote team to operate somewhat independently while keeping their work schedules separate from yours. If you want to inquire about working with a remote team who is happy to work with your schedule, you can contact us here. Or, they can work directly with your team and block off hours in the week to communicate. http://bit.ly/2IIS9V9
