Työterveydellisten

Työterveydellisten is a Finnish term that translates to "occupational health-related" or "related to occupational health." It refers to anything pertaining to the well-being of employees in the workplace, focusing on preventing illness and promoting health, both physical and mental. This encompasses a broad range of services and considerations aimed at ensuring a safe and healthy working environment.

Occupational health services in Finland typically include health examinations, guidance on ergonomics and work practices, mental health support, and rehabilitation. The goal is to identify and address risks that could negatively impact an employee's health and to support their ability to work. This proactive approach benefits not only the individual worker but also the employer through reduced absenteeism and increased productivity.

The concept of työterveydellisten is deeply integrated into Finnish labor legislation and company practices. Employers are legally obligated to ensure the occupational health and safety of their employees, often through contracting with specialized occupational health service providers. These services are seen as an investment in human capital, recognizing that a healthy workforce is essential for a successful and sustainable business. The focus is on prevention and early intervention, rather than solely on treating existing health problems.
