Time offsets are not sufficient.  My Australia experience involved me
living in South Australia while working with colleagues in the UK.  The
time difference throughout the year was one of 8.5 hours, 9.5 hours or
10.5 hours, depending on the various switches to and from daylight
savings.  Very annoying and confusing to manage...

To be effective and usable, org will need to incorporate time zone
information.
