jatkotyölle

Jatkotyölle is a Finnish term that translates to "after-work activity" or "continuation of work." It refers to social gatherings that occur after the official workday has ended, typically involving colleagues. These events are common in Finnish workplaces and can range from informal drinks at a bar to more organized outings like dinners, karaoke, or recreational activities. The purpose of jatkotyölle is generally to foster camaraderie, strengthen team bonds, and provide a more relaxed environment for social interaction outside of the formal work setting. It is often seen as an important part of workplace culture, contributing to a positive and collaborative atmosphere. While the term literally suggests a continuation of work, the emphasis is on the social and informal aspect rather than professional duties. Participation is usually voluntary, and the activities can vary greatly depending on the company, its employees, and the occasion.
