In both Brazilian and American business contexts, the term 'below-average workers' is used in HR discussions and performance management. In Brazil, there's often an emphasis on training and development programs to improve performance, reflecting a more paternalistic business culture. In the USA, the focus may be more on performance improvement plans with clearer consequences. The term itself is considered neutral in professional contexts but can be perceived as demotivating if used directly with employees.
