If you work with people in different parts of the country, the first week of daylight saving can cause all sorts of headaches.
It can be particularly challenging for people in Queensland, who for most of the year share the same time with the rest of the east coast.
"Maybe there might be one or two weeks of adjustment, but after that people get into the pattern of it," Dr Chan says. "When you've got a neurodivergent population, which is a significant percentage of the workforce, meetings are not necessarily the to get the best out of brains that are wired in a different way," she says.When people are working across locations, Dr Imber says managers and leaders should think carefully about whether there are better ways than meetings to communicate.
She says that good communication is the key to effective collaboration when people are working on different schedules. "Don't assume constant availability. Let's say you're in Perth, and you're three hours behind the east coast … ask the person first if it's OK to meet," she says.
