kumppanivalinnoilla

Kumppanivalinnoilla, also known as "partnership elections" or "co-determination elections," is a form of democratic decision-making process used in some organizations, particularly in the public sector, to involve employees in the selection of their representatives to the works council or other decision-making bodies. This process is designed to enhance employee engagement and ensure that the voices of workers are heard in the governance of the organization.

In kumppanivalinnoilla, employees are typically given the opportunity to vote for their preferred candidates from a list of nominees. The nominees are usually selected by the employees themselves, either through internal nominations or through a process of self-nomination. The voting process is usually conducted using secret ballots to ensure the confidentiality of the votes.

The purpose of kumppanivalinnoilla is to promote a sense of ownership and responsibility among employees, as well as to ensure that the decision-making bodies are representative of the diverse interests and perspectives of the workforce. This process can also help to improve communication and collaboration between management and employees, as well as to foster a more inclusive and democratic work environment.

Kumppanivalinnoilla is a widely used practice in many countries, including Finland, where it is an integral part of the country's labor law and collective bargaining agreements. The process is seen as a key mechanism for strengthening the role of employees in the governance of their organizations and for promoting a more participatory and democratic approach to decision-making.
