Tiimiperusteiset

Tiimiperusteiset refers to approaches in work organization and performance management where goals, evaluation, and rewards are based on the performance of a team rather than that of individuals. The concept emphasizes shared objectives, collaboration across roles, and collective accountability for outcomes. It is commonly discussed in Finnish human resources, management literature, and organizational development contexts, especially in teams that handle complex or interdependent work.

In practice, tiimiperusteiset approaches are applied to various aspects of work, including goal setting, reward systems such as team-based bonuses, and performance reviews. They are often used alongside agile or cross-functional work models, where success depends on the coordination of diverse skills and functions. Implementation typically requires clear, jointly agreed goals, transparent metrics, and reliable data on team progress. Governance structures help prevent free riding and ensure fair recognition of contributions from all team members.

Advantages of tiimiperusteiset systems include improved collaboration, alignment with organizational strategy, faster problem-solving, and shared learning. They can enhance information flow and cross-functional competence while reducing individual silos. However, challenges exist, such as measuring team performance fairly, addressing free-riding, managing inter-team dependencies, and ensuring that team incentives do not undermine individual motivation or equity.

Common examples include team-based performance indicators, such as cycle time, quality of deliverables, customer satisfaction for team outputs, and overall project success metrics. The approach is often complemented by traditional individual assessments and broader organizational performance management practices. See also team work, team-based rewards, and organizational design.
