GLOBAL TALENT DIFFERENCES
Assignment Overview
Global Work Schedule Differences
The number of work hours in a week and a year varies from country to country. Some of the differences in annual work hours are illustrated in the following chart by Mathis and Jackson (2011):

The differences in work hours must be considered across countries. Doing so means that work scheduling expectations and policies may have to be different for an operation in different countries.
