Burn-out, turnover: increasing pressure on HR

In today's French workplace, psychosocial disorders are on the rise. Mental, emotional and personal workloads are a major factor impacting on employees' mental health, motivation and quality of work.
In 2024, almost 34% of French employees said they were on the verge of burn-out, with around 13% suffering severely, an alarming level sometimes requiring medical treatment or adapted psychological care.

When it comes to staff turnover, the figures are just as worrying: according to one study, 46% of HR managers believe that burn-out is responsible for 20-50% of voluntary departures.

Faced with these challenges, it's becoming urgent for HR departments to adopt effective prevention strategies, incorporating time for rest, reconnecting with nature, and wellness-oriented seminars.

The aim? Reduce mental fatigue, overload and work-related exhaustion... and offer your teams a real moment of serenity.

How a company seminar can combat burn-out

A company seminar can truly transform the dynamics of a team. Too often perceived as a simple moment of cohesion, it is in fact a powerful HR tool with lasting effects.

Well thought-out, this time-out offers a space for informal dialogue, boosting motivation, reinforcing team cohesion, and integrating a genuine QWL (Quality of Life at Work) approach.

It's not just a convivial interlude: it's a strategic lever for human management and risk prevention. In short, a good company seminar can help prevent many departures and loss of commitment. If you'd like to find out more about company seminars, take a look at our articles:
