Encouraging the expression of difficulties at work

Training Theme 

This training helps to recognize and express one's difficulties at work in a constructive way. It addresses the importance of listening to physical and emotional stress signals, and encourages people to break the silence by relying on the right internal relays (managers, HR, staff representatives). Through concrete examples from companies such as Solon and Fiat, it shows how to implement effective communication on well-being at work. The training offers practical tools to identify needs, manage stress and express difficulties in a professional way, while preventing psychosocial risks.
