In Brazil, especially in São Paulo's corporate sector, the English term 'setup' is frequently used even in Portuguese conversations. The concept has gained importance post-pandemic with the rise of home office culture and hybrid work arrangements. Portuguese companies tend to use more traditional terminology. In the USA, particularly in tech hubs like NYC, this term is ubiquitous in discussions about remote work, office design, and employee wellness initiatives.
