The term 'off-site' is widely used in Brazilian corporate culture, particularly in multinational companies and modern startups. These off-site events (often called 'off-sites' or 'team-buildings') are common for corporate retreats, strategy sessions, and team bonding. In Portugal, the English term is less frequently used, with preference for more descriptive Portuguese phrases. In the USA, off-sites are standard corporate practice for strategic planning and employee engagement.
