Understanding Time Zones

Learn about time zones, UTC, and daylight saving time

UTC/GMT Explained

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is often used interchangeably with UTC for civilian purposes.

Daylight Saving Time

Many regions observe daylight saving time, shifting clocks forward in spring and back in autumn. This affects time zone offsets seasonally.

Business Hours Matter

When scheduling international meetings, consider typical business hours (9 AM - 5 PM) in each participant's time zone.
