MAKE IT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO ENGAGE IN UNINTERRUPTED, FOCUSED WORK.
LIFE IS BUSY enough without wasting time on COLD and UNSCHEDULED CALLS.
Callers with anything important to say will likely send an email anyway.
IT IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO STATE THE TIME OF THE CALL / MEETING USING GMT (GREENWICH MERIDIAN TIME) UTC (UNIVERSAL TIME COORDINATES) OR YOUR NEAREST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CALLING CODE (eg: BKK - Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport)
Which one is it easier for you to understand?
Let's have a call at 03:30pm BKK (Bangkok) Time
Let's have a call at 08:30 GMT/UTC
Let's have a call at 15:30 ICT (Indo China Time)
Microsoft OUTLOOK has such fantastic features to organize every kind of meeting ...
... It can also help you to understand and manage different time zones!
Whoever took a plane once in life, is aware that ETD (Estimated Time of Departure) and ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) are always show in local Departure / Arrival time.
The world is divided in time zones (TZ), and not every one is familiar with the name of your own TZ.
I am quite sure that you don't have a clue about what is ICT (Indo China Time), in which countries is used (Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia) and what is the offset to UTC (+7.00) or if we have or not the DST (Daylight Saving Time).
