Working conditions have generally worsened in Europe: stress, sexual or moral harassment, burn-out, addictions, etc., are the new workplace diseases, grouped together under the term “psychosocial risks”. Research into the work contexts that give rise to this suffering has led to the emergence of concepts and tools for analysing, assessing and, above all, preventing these risks. At a time when the health crisis and the spread of remote work have contributed to worsen the situation, European legislation dealing with these risks is becoming essential. Trade unions, the European Parliament and research institutes are calling for a European directive.
