520 _aWhat status can be granted to the enjoyment experienced by employees at work? At a time when suffering is rife, when its many faces shape the daily news, and when suicide strikes repeatedly in certain companies, this issue may appear provocative or even indecent. The way we deal with it, however, shapes the most concrete dimensions of mental health campaigns to be undertaken in the work place. This paper cites a few basic works by Freud, Aristotle, Epicurus, and Spinoza in developing a concept on the relation between suffering and enjoyment. It argues that suffering, far from being a primary constituent element of work, most often only arises when the activity that enables the power to act and the expression of enjoyment are thwarted or prevented. This right to enjoyment and the positivity it brings is the starting point for questioning the issue of psychosocial risk prevention. Based on his personal experience, the author ultimately gives a few ideas on how to conceive a system of promoting mental health that clearly grants this right to enjoyment.
