Overview
This psychosocial risks training lasts 2 days and is aimed at managers. It helps you to understand, prevent and resolve the difficulties linked to stress, harassment and burnout within your team. The training is commissioned by your organisation, in-company and on quotation, from Excelia Business School's Executive Education Centre. It takes place face-to-face, with no prerequisites.
Why train in the prevention of psychosocial risks?
As a manager, you often see what is happening in your team before anyone else does, and prevention starts with being able to name what you observe. The Preventing psychosocial risks in your team course helps you to do so: it distinguishes between stress, harassment and burnout, which do not call for the same reactions, so that you do not have to improvise the day one of them arises.
Beyond spotting them, it develops your reading of work situations and your ability to make informed decisions. The detail of the pathway, including working methods, appears in the Curriculum tab.
The legal framework and the manager's responsibility
The programme sheds light on the legal framework for psychosocial risks and on managers' responsibilities in this area. Understanding where your responsibility as a manager lies makes it possible to intervene earlier, with less hesitation.
Acting on what produces the risks
The course analyses the main sources of psychosocial risks, namely work organisation and the different management styles, and offers strategies to anticipate and resolve interpersonal conflicts. For work focused on the conflict itself, the Resolving conflicts and asserting yourself at work course is devoted to it.
The skills targeted
The course aims to:
- Become familiar with the legal framework for psychosocial risks and with interpersonal relationships in the workplace
- Acquire skills to analyse work situations and make informed decisions
Curriculum
Dedicated to the prevention and management of psychosocial risks (PSRs) in the workplace, the course totals 14 hours of attendance, spread over two days. It is offered in-company, within your organisation.
How you learn
To learn, you combine four ways of working:
- Alternating between theoretical input and practical exercises
- Discussions linked to the situations encountered at work
- Case studies, exchanges of experience and practical scenarios
- A participatory approach based on participants' follow-up requests and on the analysis of their practices, successes and difficulties
Three sequences to move from spotting to action
The programme starts from the exploration of psychosocial risks, then addresses the legal framework, then goes back to the sources of the risks and to interpersonal conflicts. The three sequences unfold below.
Recognise and distinguish psychosocial risks
You will begin with an in-depth exploration of PSRs, providing figures and distinguishing between the different concepts such as stress, harassment and burnout.
Once you have distinguished these three notions, you can adjust your response to each situation rather than applying the same one to all of them.

The legal framework and the manager's responsibilities

Alongside the framework and the obligations, best practices show you how to go about it in practical terms.
