Presentation description
In today’s ever-changing work environment — shaped by digital transformation, economic instability, and the rise of remote work — managers are on the front lines. Their strategic role exposes them to significant psychosocial risks, often underestimated, yet with very real impacts on team performance and organizational stability.
This conference sheds light on the specific pressures faced by managers: workload overload, increased responsibilities, role conflicts, incivility, isolation, and the blurring of boundaries between personal and professional life. Front-line managers, in particular, occupy a fragile intermediary position that puts their mental balance at greater risk.
Grounded in best practices in organizational health, this session is designed for HR professionals and offers concrete levers for action: organizational support, role clarification, burnout prevention, and the development of resilience.

Learning objectives
- Understand the psychological challenges specific to managers — including workload, stress, and burnout — and their effects on mental health and team performance.
- Recognize the psychosocial risks that specifically affect managers, their mental well-being, and the fears tied to their role, such as managing tension and constant pressure.
- Take action by implementing concrete solutions to build a healthier work environment, prevent psychosocial risks, and support managers in their role — ultimately strengthening collective performance.
Topics covered
- Organizational context and managers’ mental health | How the pandemic, evolving work structures, and increased responsibilities have placed managers under constant pressure and impacted their mental well-being.
