Burn-out, stress, pressure, moral harassment, suicide… These are all words that we increasingly tend to associate with the world of work. The inventory of psychosocial risks at work drawn up by the Cese is final. Thus, according to Sylvie Brunet, the rapporteur of the report, “The impact of psychosocial disorders on our economic competitiveness is still largely underestimated. Absenteeism, turnover, the most diverse forms of disengagement, however, have a high cost for companies. We therefore hope that this opinion will enable economic and social actors to better understand and prevent psychosocial risks, by being part of a process of progress and by questioning the very meaning of work in our society. “
While a survey conducted in 2010 showed that 62% of employees say they feel a high level of stress at work, it is to curb psychosocial risks that the Cese has conducted a study aimed at establishing proposals for improving management. load pressure related problems.
In particular, it recommends the obligation to submit “an impact study on the organizational and human level” in the event of restructuring or reorganization of the company. It also recommends better medical monitoring of job seekers provided by the occupational health services and the CHSCT (Health, Safety and Working Conditions Committees).
In addition, the Cese underlines the need to “reactivate the right of employees to express themselves” to prevent psychosocial risks by developing social dialogue on the health of employees and their working conditions and suggests the establishment, in the centers hospitals, “psychological health and work” consultation units.
