In Brazilian office culture, the personal desk is often a reflection of individual identity and professionalism. Employees frequently personalize their desks with family photos, plants, and decorative items. In contrast, modern open office trends in both Brazil and the USA are shifting toward hot-desking or shared workspaces, making personal desks less common in contemporary corporate environments.
