Book.What is QVCT – understand “quality of life and working conditions” – called? What does the recent emphasis on this acronym at the expense of simple “quality of life at work” tell us? What are the drivers of well-being at work, and with them the mechanisms that should be put in place to fight once morest its negative counterpart: psychosocial risks (RPS)? A collective work, Quality of life and working conditions are everyone’s business! (ESF Human Sciences, 252 pages, 24 euros), led by Jean-Edouard Grésy and Philippe Emont, partners in the consulting firm AlterNego, sets out to explore the subject.
The presentation is intended above all to be practical and educational. It lays the foundations of the problems encountered by employees (the dynamics of stress, etc.), the levers of action for the company (what to do when an employee has an addiction?), while multiplying the points of law, recalling, for example example, that a single act can be enough to constitute discriminatory harassment.
To demonstrate the importance of quality of life and working conditions, the authors highlight the extent of risks of a psychosocial nature. Risks for the people concerned, of course, for their colleagues as well (“it is not necessary to be a direct victim to experience its deleterious effects: feeling of insecurity, loss of confidence…”recalls the work), but also for the company. “Economic performance and social performance are closely linked”note the authors, who also mention legal and reputational damage, but also financial risk, “a growing issue”.
Therefore, how can organizations effectively tackle the subject, beyond the ““happiness” excesses” a you “symbol of table football” regularly singled out? The authors provide advice and methods for dealing with psychosocial risks, around two fundamentals: a systemic approach to the subject and collective care, through speech and exchange.
“The reality on the ground”
They thus invite us to take an overall look at the question of QVCT, not focusing solely on the individual dimension. The collective thus fully has its role to play: “The first fundamental level of prevention is social bond”assure the authors, who also invite us to take a look at the organization itself: “the working environment, load distribution, internal processes”.
