The term 'onboarding process' is widely used in Brazilian corporate culture, especially in multinational companies, tech startups, and HR departments. While the English term is often retained in modern business contexts, 'processo de integração' is the standard Portuguese equivalent. In Portugal, the concept is similarly important but traditionally less formalized than in Brazil. The emphasis on structured onboarding has grown significantly in both countries as organizations recognize its impact on employee retention and productivity.
