Question 37326 — work

Summary

Mr. Didier Martin draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of Labor, Employment and Integration, responsible for pensions and health at work, to the impact of teleworking on the health of workers. We know that the organization of work has been profoundly transformed by the health crisis. Within the territories, companies have had to adapt and implement strict health protocols. As soon as this was possible, teleworking was favored. While this organization of work has many advantages in countering the spread of the virus, it can also have negative consequences on the health of the worker, particularly when teleworking is endured, used over long periods without interruption, or carried out in poor conditions. If we immediately think of the psychological risks linked to the isolation of the employee, the anxiety that he may feel in the face of the health crisis, the increase in mental load or even the difficulty of managing family and professional life, the impact of teleworking on physical health can also be a reality. Many employees actually telework from unsuitable positions. The use of an ergonomic chair, the possession of a suitable desk and the use of a adequate lighting are all basic working conditions which are not always met. This lack of a suitable and ergonomic workstation can be a source of pain, particularly musculoskeletal pain, which is sometimes accompanied by a significant deterioration in the quality of sleep. Sedentary lifestyle linked to increased use of teleworking can also pose a risk to the health of workers. Mr. Deputy would like to know if studies have been carried out to better understand the impact of prolonged teleworking, carried out in the context of the health crisis, on the physical and mental health of workers. He would also like to have details on the strategy implemented to take into account the specificities of this work organization and maintain the well-being of employees.
