👉An international company may wonder whether to standardize practices or retain all local differences. Personally, I believe it can be beneficial to standardize certain practices to streamline processes for employees and facilitate their geographical mobility, also ensuring administrative efficiency and fairness. However, standardization implies aligning all teams with the most favorable labor laws, which is costly when expanding internationally. Therefore, most companies prefer keeping local differences in each country. 

I hope this has sparked some thoughts! Does your company have specific on-call practices, and do teams feel they are fairly treated?
