Ohjeistetaan

Ohjeistetaan is a Finnish verb form meaning to issue instructions or guidelines, or to provide formal direction to a group. It is the passive present form of the active verb ohjeistaa, and is commonly used to indicate that a process of guidance or standardization is taking place rather than naming the actor responsible for it.

Etymology and form: The verb comes from the noun ohje, meaning instruction or guideline, combined with the verb-forming suffix -istaa. In its passive present tense, ohjeistetaan, it conveys that instructions are being given or the guidelines are being established by an organization, authority, or similar entity.

Usage: The term is frequent in formal, organizational, and public-sector contexts. It emphasizes the process of distributing or enforcing guidelines rather than the content of the guidelines themselves. It often appears with recipients specified, for example, “ohjeistetaan työntekijöitä” (employees are instructed) or “ohjeistetaan koko organisaatio” (the entire organization is being instructed). The construction is common when describing policy updates, safety protocols, or standardized procedures that must be followed.

Relation to related terms: Ohjeistetaan is related to ohjeistus, the noun form referring to the set of guidelines or instructions, and to ohjeistaminen, the act of issuing or formulating guidelines. These terms together describe the lifecycle of formal guidance from creation to dissemination and compliance.

Overall, ohjeistetaan denotes the procedural aspect of guiding people to follow standardized instructions, especially in structured or regulated settings.
