Carnival in Brazil is one of the most famous celebrations in the world – a spectacular mix of music, dance, tradition and community spirit. Held every year in the days leading up to Lent, Carnival is a moment when streets fill with vibrant parades, dazzling costumes and the infectious energy of samba.<\/p>

The history behind Brazil’s Carnival<\/h2>
Carnival’s origins trace back to European festivals brought to Brazil by Portuguese settlers in the 17th century. These celebrations were inspired by Catholic traditions, marking the last days of indulgence before Lent’s fasting period.<\/p>
Over time, African, Indigenous and Portuguese influences merged to create the unique Brazilian Carnival we know today. The introduction of samba – a music and dance style with deep African roots – became a defining feature, turning Carnival into the spectacular, rhythmic event it is today.<\/p>

Even before the pandemic, companies have prioritized growing their global footprint to take advantage of new market opportunities. In fact, 87% of multinational companies considered their best growth opportunities to be outside of their domestic market. As a result, global trade hit a record high of nearly $30 trillion in 2021. To aid in this expansion, companies are increasingly hiring talent, whether remote or within region, to extend international reach.
Growing a business is hard enough without the added pressure of managing employees across different continents. HR leaders are being tasked with outlining processes and procedures that take into account the needs and requirements of a diverse set of employees. Between navigating complex cultural differences and communication styles, to managing time zones and operation hours, creating a healthy and cooperative work environment amongst different groups can be tough. But the challenges don’t stop there.
Scaling financial services effectively alongside business growth requires speed and precision to enter new markets. For instance, paying employees around the world can be a strenuous process that requires businesses to jump through regulation hoops during payroll. Businesses not only need to consider timing delays that can impact employee satisfaction, but also payment requirements that may vary country by country.
Until now.
