The most recommended time is "9:00-11:00"
The most recommended time to set up a business meeting in Haiti is "9:00-11:00". This time is right after the start of work in many workplaces, when employees finish their shifts and start working in earnest. Since it is the beginning of the morning, people tend to be relatively focused and motivated, and many people tend to have a positive attitude toward meetings. In addition, since there are still few phone calls or face-to-face visits, there is a low risk of interruption during the meeting, and it is easier to concentrate on the discussion. This time is especially suitable for important decisions and sharing of agendas, which require the understanding and agreement of all participants. In Haiti, there are areas where the temperature rises after noon, so holding a meeting in the relatively cool and comfortable morning will reduce the physical burden and increase the overall productivity of the meeting.
