Pointless and unreasonable: tasks that spoil work
Assigning tasks in a company is a management practice that is so common and routine, we rarely question our ways of doing it. It generally doesn’t pose a problem, since employees are hired based on their skills, and their work revolves around these. It gets tricky, however, when employees are assigned tasks that fall outside their expertise or tasks that seem… pointless.

Financial health of millennials: A cry for help!
The arrival of millennials (those born between 1980 and 2000) in the workplace has caused its share of upheaval. They bring with them a certain number of changes in ways of working, especially through their increased use of technology. They differ on several points from previous generations: their style of consumption, which happens more online, their greater difficulty in separating personal life and professional life, as well as the issue of their personal finances. The latter is a major source of stress, exacerbated by the combined accumulation of student debt and credit. Despite this financial stress, millennials often hesitate to ask for help in managing their finances.

Workplace bullying: Understanding it and reducing it
Although researchers have been interested in workplace bullying for several years, it remains largely misunderstood and is a challenge for organizations. Confusion around even the definition of bullying makes it more difficult to detect and, as a result, to reduce how often it occurs. This scientific interpretation aims to narrow down the concept of workplace bullying, to identify the main risk factors and to suggest prevention and intervention measures to deal with it, while taking into account the cultural context of organizations.

Psychological Health at Work – Some Frequently Asked Questions
Marie-Claude Pelletier, President and Founder of Global-Watch, and France St-Hilaire, Associate professor, Human Resource Management, Université de Sherbrooke and Scientific director of Global-Watch answer some frequently asked questions about psychological health in the workplace.

GLOBAL-WATCH SUMMER MISSION IN IVORY COAST

Recognizing and preventing fatigue at work…before something happens!
Fatigue at work affects a large number of employees around the world. It is the third most-reported health problem in Europe, and more than one in five workers in the US say they feel tired at work. Yet, in addition to affecting people’s quality of life and weakening their immune system, fatigue at work also entails major costs.

New technologies and new business models: how to take them into account without compromising employee health and productivity?
The global economy is evolving rapidly. Companies must embrace innovation and adapt to changes in industry and the economy, including the need to integrate new, digital technologies. This paper provides a summary of three reports and various case studies illustrating the impacts of this phenomenon on businesses.

Adapting programs to employees based on cultural differences: the example of work–family balance
When an organization decides to expand its business into other countries, it generally tries to increase its competitiveness in the global marketplace.

Bullying in the workplace: Overview from the 2018 Conference on Bullying in Bordeaux
The 11th International Association on Workplace Bullying and Harassment (IAWBH) conference took place on June 5 to 8, 2018, in Bordeaux. The association aims to stimulate and generate ideas and research and to incorporate and disseminate research results and best practices in the area of harassment and bullying in the workplace.

When technology and personal life are not necessarily compatible!
In modern societies, the way of working is constantly evolving. Some of this change is facilitated by communication technologies which allow connectivity, immediacy and, in the process, permeability of the boundaries that once separated work from private life. It would be wrong, however, to blame technology by itself for these developments: electronic devices can be disabled, emails can be filtered and incoming (telephone) calls can be directed to voice mail. Nevertheless, hyperconnectivity makes individuals more accessible and implicitly requires them to be available online at all times. What is the impact on employees?

Older workers: adding value
Due to the aging of today’s workers, many organizations will experience major demographic declines over the next 20 years, which could create a labour shortage. Because of an increase in life expectancy, combined with a gradual extension to what was traditionally considered the age of retirement at 65, older workers are a growing proportion of the current labour force.

Pr. Kevin Kelloway : impact of leadership on the workplace health and well-being

Job crafting and leisure crafting: creating meaning and fostering commitment to work
Working environments are both dynamic and evolving. They subject employees to performance and adaptation challenges which can negatively influence their commitment to work. Job crafting – shaping or determining how one’s time is spent at work – is becoming more and more widespread. Employees seek to create meaning in their work and professional occupations, and this generally increases their commitment to the work.

Sustainable return to work for individuals with common mental disorders: Building on available resources
When an employee/worker with a common mental disorder (CMD) returns to work after a period of absence, his or her continued employment – or sustainable return to work (SRTW) – is an important issue at both the individual and organizational levels. A comprehensive understanding of the various concerns relating to CMDs and the conditions which positively impact a return to work are fundamental to the achievement of a SRTW.

When work makes people sick, and sick people come to work
What do we know about presenteeism at work? We know that presenteeism is more costly than absenteeism for organizations. Yet it is rarely measured in workplaces, even though it is an important indicator of employees’ health. Presenteeism is the vicious work cycle that makes employees sick; these same employees who show up to work when they are sick are less productive.

Even a 10-minute break outdoors can reduce stress
Whether it’s meditation, breathing techniques or yoga, individual approaches to stress management are increasingly popular in organizations.

What if being fulfilled fathers meant that men could be satisfied employees?
Balancing work and family life is one of the current challenges for employees and organizations. Today, many working men want to be recognized and supported in their role as a parent. Being a fulfilled father also means being a more satisfied employee. All organizations have an interest in putting in place concrete ways to promote work–family balance and therefore improve work–family enrichment.

Putting Employee Wellness First : How The David Suzuki Foundation Does It
“Employers want all employees to come in and do their jobs, without being impacted by what could be going on at home or in their minds and bodies. But home life comes to work with us! That just isn’t a choice. So employers need flexible options for the individuals that make up their workforce; flexible policies are key to making that happen,” says Catherine Gordon, HR Director at the David Suzuki Foundation (DSF).

The Kaizen approach can improve your employees’ well being

How to handle cancer in the workplace
Cancer, unfortunately, touches more and more people today, and therefore more and more employees. The good news is that current treatments allow us to envision a longer life expectancy. But this also means that employees who are sick can sometimes continue to work during their treatment, return to work after their illness, or even take on the role of caregiver. This leads to significant challenges for the workplace.
