| Abstract |
In 1997, a study was carried out in Paris on the effects of changes in work organization on the health of staff at employment agencies. The study allowed on one hand to highlight the dominant nature of psychic disorders over more physical ailments and, on the other, to identify several strategies developed by agents to cope with "emotionally difficult" persons among those entitled to unemployment benefits. The ergonomic actions derived from the conclusions of the study relate to staff training and to the creation of a unit aimed at improving their health and conditions of work. |
