The most recommended time is "9:00-11:00"
In the business environment in Taiwan, the best time to schedule a meeting is "9:00-11:00". This time is after the start of work for many companies and public institutions, so it is positioned as the first work hour after coming to work. In Taiwan, the culture of organizing tasks in the morning and efficiently proceeding with the day's work is deeply rooted, and this time is said to be the time when people are most concentrated. In addition, there is less communication from outside and relatively little unexpected work in the morning, making it easier to concentrate on meetings.
In addition, Taiwanese offices tend to make important decisions in the morning, so you can expect participants to be proactive even in meetings with important agendas or situations that require coordination involving multiple parties. By setting up a meeting during this time period immediately after the start of work, the overall schedule will progress smoothly and it will be easier to coordinate with the work plan for the day. If you want to achieve efficient discussions and smooth information sharing, we strongly recommend using this time period.
