Off-boarding is a critical HR practice in both Brazilian and American corporate cultures, often involving formal procedures, exit interviews, and legal documentation. In Brazil, the process is heavily regulated by labor laws (CLT), making it more formal and legally structured than in the USA. The term 'desligamento' is widely understood in Brazilian business Portuguese, though the English term is often retained in multinational companies.
