The Impact of Work Stress on Health: Exploring Solutions for a Better Quality of Life at Work.

Muscle pain, sleep disorders, headaches, even depression… In the long term, stress at work can become real suffering and lead to health problems. However, two-thirds of French people suffer from regular stress at work. A situation that seems to only get worse, especially since the pandemic.

Some employees are more affected than others: in the public service, and in particular national education and the hospital, employees are more in contact with the public, and the stress is particularly strong. Civil servants are twice as likely to take anxiolytics as other French people.

Faced with these findings, companies and administrations are increasingly adopting “quality of life at work” approaches. Prevention days, manager training, reorganisations, working time arrangements, even a 4-day week, all are looking for solutions to reduce suffering at work. But are these approaches really effective or are they just rhetoric? Do they reflect a real consideration of psychosocial risks. Should we not rethink the whole organization of work?

Guest :Christophe Dejours, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, specialist in suffering at work.

A former professor at the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts, he has published numerous reference works on work and pathologies linked to the business world, such as Suffering in Francein 1998 and more recently, in 2021, The choice, suffering at work is not inevitable. His research focuses on work organization issues and their effects on health. Today, he is the director of the Institute of Psychodynamics of Labor since 2018.
