kontorivälistel

Kontorivälistel (noun) is a Finnish term that literally means "office staff list." It refers to a compiled enumeration of employees assigned to a particular office or department within an organization. The word combines kontori, meaning "office," with välist (from the verb listää, "to list") and the suffix -el, creating a noun that denotes the output of the listing process.

In Finnish business contexts, a kontorivälistel is used to provide quick reference for management and auditing purposes. It usually contains fields such as employee name, title, department, contact information, and position status. The list is updated regularly to reflect promotions, transfers, and departures. In some companies, the kontorivälistel is part of an intranet-wide personnel directory, while in others it is a printed document retained in the office archives.

The concept is comparable to the English "staff roster" or "employee directory." It can be generated manually, but most organizations use human‑resource information systems that automatically produce the list in real time or on a scheduled basis. The kontorivälistel is often subject to privacy regulations, limiting its distribution to authorized personnel only.

In practice, when an office manager requests a kontorivälistel, the HR department pulls the current data from the personnel database, verifies accuracy, and formats it in a standardized report. This procedure helps ensure that all stakeholders have clear visibility of the human resources within the office, facilitating communication, resource allocation, and compliance with organizational policies.
