Travelling for Work: Time Zones

Course Overview

Business travel across time zones presents a range of challenges, especially for those new to long-distance journeys. Travellers unfamiliar with time differences are liable to inconvenient logistical mistakes, while jet-lag and other aspects of long-distance travel can impact wellbeing. The knock-on effects for organisations can be substantial: lost productivity, poor performance and reduced employee satisfaction.

“Travelling for Work: Time Zones” provides business travellers with the knowledge they need to smoothly navigate time differences as they travel. The 3-minute animation—with rich, learning-focused visual content and lively audio narration—introduces the key concepts of time difference, before providing tips for mitigating the effects of travel across zones.
