Connect during business hours

Оглавление

To follow up on our suggestions about time zones, be sure to stick to business hours. This has become such an issue in the workplace that Portugal established a law forbidding bosses from contacting employees outside working hours: www.cnbc.com/2021/11/15/portugal-bans-bosses-from-contacting-employees-outside-working-hours.html.

Yet there may be times when you need to contact someone outside of working hours because of a genuine emergency. As always, think of these scenarios ahead of time and work with your team to set the ground rules for communicating while you’re at home.

Even if you’re not working with a team, speak ahead of time to the person you plan to talk with so that you both can understand when you’re going to contact them online by way of either Zoom, web chat, or email.

In sum, set expectations ahead of time. No one likes to have their off time interrupted and have to delay telling their kids bedtime stories because your boss or one of your team members thinks it’s okay.
