Adding Multiple Clocks to the Taskbar of your computer can be helpful, if your work or business requires you to conduct online meetings with people living in other countries and time zones.
For example, someone working for the Head Office of a company located in Pacific Time Zone might be required to interact with people working for its branches located in Mountain Standard Time (MT), Central Standard Time (CST) or Eastern Time Zone (ET) time zones.
Similarly, it is fairly common for employees in the tech sector to be interacting with people located in different time zones and different Countries, located all over the world.
