Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As Doug is being sent to Italy, a country with a different language and culture, it is important for ABC Company to offer him language training to help him communicate effectively with his colleagues and clients. Cultural training is also essential to help him understand and adapt to the cultural differences between Canada and Italy, which could impact his ability to work effectively. Therefore, the best choice is language training and cultural training. Social training and health & safety training are also useful, but not as critical as language and cultural training in this situation.
