Etiquette
Your calendar should reflect your availability so you and your co-workers use your time effectively. Below are some examples of how you can make sure you're communicating clearly:
1. If you are going to be out of the office (especially for several days), create an all day event called "OOO"
2. If you are going to be working from home create an all day event called "WFH"
3. If its a holiday and you're uncertain people in other countries will be aware of it, "Holiday"
4. If you will be working but not able to communicate, block that time with the appropriate description such as "Traveling", "Training", "Blocked" or just "Unavailable"
