A key lever for prevention
and social performance

Act proactively rather than reactively. Psychosocial risks often stem from unaddressed personal situations, which ultimately impact work and teams. The workplace social services department enables intervention at the first signs: identifying vulnerabilities, preventing critical situations, and supporting both managers and employees during sensitive times. It thus concretely reinforces the QVCT policy by integrating an essential social dimension that is often underestimated.

What training topics fall under secondary prevention?

An occupational social service is not mandatory for all companies. However, it is part of the employer’s general obligations regarding occupational risk prevention and the protection of employee health. Many companies therefore choose to implement it voluntarily to secure career paths and strengthen their QVCT policy.
