tyollarviö

The term "tyollarviö" is a Finnish neologism that emerged in the late 2010s. It is a portmanteau word, combining "työ" (work) and "arviö" (evaluation, assessment, or appraisal), though the latter part is a slightly altered and less common form of "arvio". The word gained traction primarily through social media and online discussions.

"Tyollarviö" describes the process of a worker providing feedback or an assessment of their own work, performance, or role within an organization. This is distinct from a traditional performance review conducted by a supervisor. Instead, it emphasizes self-reflection and the employee's own perspective on their contributions, challenges, and development needs. The concept often implies a more collaborative or democratic approach to workplace evaluation, where employees are encouraged to actively participate in assessing their own professional journey and impact. It can also refer to a situation where an employee offers an opinion or critique on the company's processes or management from their own work experience. The precise usage can vary, but the core idea revolves around the employee's self-generated evaluation related to their work.
