Option D is kind of a joke, right? Simplifying operations at the expense of regional preferences? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Option B is the way to go.

Definitely, what works in one country may not work in another due to varying expectations and acceptance levels.

Haha, work-life balance? Good luck getting that in some countries. Option B is spot on - global organizations really have to understand the local context to make these programs work.

I agree with Raymon. Culture plays a huge role in how work-life balance initiatives are perceived and accepted. Implementing a one-size-fits-all approach is unlikely to work.

Option B seems the most accurate. Work-life balance expectations can vary greatly across cultures, which can definitely impact the effectiveness and adoption of these programs globally.
