Tykytyksiä

Tykytyksiä is a Finnish term that refers to the Finnish interpretation and practice of employee well-being benefits. It is a broad concept encompassing various activities and services aimed at promoting the physical, mental, and social health of employees. The term is often used in the context of employers offering these benefits as part of their compensation packages.

The goal of tykytyksiä is to reduce stress, prevent illness, and improve overall job satisfaction, which in turn can lead to increased productivity and reduced absenteeism. These benefits are often subsidized or fully covered by the employer and can include a wide range of options. Common examples include access to sports facilities, gym memberships, massage treatments, cultural events such as cinema or theatre tickets, and even recreational activities like bowling or hiking trips.

The specific offerings under the umbrella of tykytyksiä can vary significantly between companies, depending on their size, industry, and financial resources. However, the underlying principle remains the same: investing in the well-being of employees. Employees typically have a certain amount allocated to them annually, which they can then choose to use for activities that best suit their individual needs and preferences. This flexibility is a key aspect of the tykytyksiä system, empowering employees to take an active role in their own health and wellness.
