It lets you have separate calendars for personal use, business use as well as for holidays. Google Calendar is a great tool to plan business meetings as well as family gatherings.

Google Calendar alerts users when they have a meeting coming up. It saved many employees’ important work hours as several times when they were so deeply focused on a project that they didn’t realize hours had passed and it was time for an important meeting.
Google Calendar also has better features other than calendars when it comes to invitations. If users are inviting someone to a meeting who may be interested in the discussion but is not essential for the meeting proceedings, users can invite them as optional.
