Scheduling a meeting between Australian Eastern Standard Time and New Zealand Standard Time

When scheduling a meeting between employees in the Australian Eastern Standard Time and New Zealand Standard Time zones, there are several factors to consider to ensure that the meeting is convenient and productive for all participants. Here's a detailed breakdown of what you should consider before scheduling across time zones:

Convert Time Difference: As we've discussed earlier, New Zealand Standard Time is 2 ahead of Australian Eastern Standard Time. It's crucial to take this time difference into account when scheduling a meeting to avoid scheduling conflicts or creating meetings at odd or inappropriate hours. In my experience, accidentally scheduling a meeting a 4am is awkward.
Overlapping Working Hours: To find a suitable time for the meeting, you’ll need to identify the overlapping working hours between the two time zones. For example, if employees in both zones work from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time, the overlapping hours could be between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM Australian Eastern Standard Time but 2 hours different to New Zealand Standard Time. Be upfront with New Zealand Standard Time employees to find the right time.
Consideration of Local Holidays: Be mindful of local Australian Eastern Standard Time and New Zealand Standard Time holidays, festivals, or observances in both time zones. These events might affect employee availability or working hours. Check local calendars for both the Australian Eastern Standard Time and New Zealand Standard Time zones to avoid scheduling conflicts.
Communicate Time Zone Differences: Clearly communicate the meeting time in both Australian Eastern Standard Time and New Zealand Standard Time to avoid confusion. Using a tool like an online meeting planner or time zone converter can help simplify the process and ensure accuracy.

Converting time zones across other countries

The process of converting time between two time zones is similar regardless of the countries involved. You'll need to determine the time difference between the two zones and add it to the time in the first zone. Keep in mind that some countries may observe daylight saving time or have different time zones within the country. It's important to double-check the time difference before scheduling any meetings or events.
