Mental health: 5 actions to make it a pillar of your QWL

85% of organizations believe that QWL is a competitive issue*. Yet only 47% of companies have implemented concrete actions*. What about you?

‍

As part of Quality of Life and Working Conditions (QLWC) week, this captivating webinar highlights the crucial importance of mental health and psychological safety within organizations. With the participation of Jerome Crest, co-founder and CEO of Holivia, Nathan Guichard, psychologist and Holivia expert, and Ludovic Demierre, Human Resources Director at Vinci Construction, this session offers an in-depth reflection on organizational practices, concrete actions and tools to foster a healthy and engaging work environment.

‍

This webinar, designed as a "step-by-step" approach and illustrated by situations experienced or apprehended by HR teams, combines psychological, organizational and business approaches.

‍

Why is mental health essential in the workplace?

‍

Mental health is inextricably linked to employee performance and well-being. According to the WHO, "there is no good health without good mental health". Yet this subject is often taboo in the workplace, due to prejudices or negative perceptions. Stress, mental workload and psychosocial risks can lead to problems such as disengagement, sick leave and even serious disorders such as anxiety or depression.

‍

The prevention of psychosocial risks (PSR) and the integration of psychological safety into managerial practices therefore appear to be major levers for strengthening the commitment and retention of talent. Vinci Construction's HR Director shares concrete examples of how these principles can be applied in a variety of contexts, particularly on worksites where physical and organizational constraints are significant.

Five actions to promote mental health and QHCT

‍

Discover five strategic actions to integrate mental health into the organizational culture:

1. Lifting the taboo: educating people about psychological safety and RPS, raising awareness among executives and managers so that they become role models in terms of communication and mental well-being.
2. Involve all levels of the organization: Adapt action plans to local needs, using multidisciplinary committees.
3. Training managers in Care: Managers play a key role in creating a climate of psychological safety. Tools such as one-to-ones, indoor weather and feedback culture are presented as concrete practices for building trust and listening skills.
4. Developing a positive culture: Changing the way we talk about mental health, going beyond notions of suffering to include aspects such as personal development and overall well-being.
5. Modernize support systems: Offer adapted solutions, such as self-care applications or psychological support cells accessible online, which enable more effective, personalized prevention.

The role of the right to disconnect

‍

Particular attention is paid to the right to disconnect, an essential pillar of work-life balance. Establishing clear rules on working hours and employee availability helps to reduce mental workload and prevent overwork. This initiative promotes better management of priorities and helps create a working environment that respects individual needs.

‍

The need for training and awareness-raising

‍

Employee awareness-raising and manager training are highlighted as essential tools for creating lasting buy-in. Training courses such as Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) or organizational culture workshops equip teams to recognize and address weak signals, whether individual or collective.

‍

A positive, preventive approach

‍

In contrast to a purely reactive approach to crises, the webinar emphasizes the importance of being proactive. By introducing devices during serene periods, organizations can build a solid, resilient organizational culture. Ludovic Demierre shares experience feedback, showing that this preventive approach is not only well received by employees, but also strengthens confidence in the organization.
