Quality of Life and Working Conditions (QLWC) is a central notion in the modern professional world. It's not just about designing workspaces or implementing telecommuting (although that does help, let's face it!). It encompasses several interconnected dimensions that contribute to employee well-being and corporate performance. But what are these six essential dimensions?
1. Occupational health and safety: an unavoidable priority
Health and safety are the foundations of QWL. This includes :
- Preventing occupational risks: physical, chemical and psychosocial
- Promoting the mental and physical health of employees
Ensuring a safe and healthy environment is essential to fostering a climate of trust and commitment.
Mental well-being: concrete initiatives in business
Mental health has become a priority in 2025. According to a 2025 study conducted by IFOP, 47% of employees have already been forced to work less or less efficiently due to their mental health. To address this, many companies now offer workshops in sophrology, meditation, and breathing techniques. These practices, in addition to reducing stress, promote concentration and strengthen team cohesion.
2. Social relations and dialogue to strengthen communication
Fulfilling professional relationships is crucial. This means :
- Clear, transparent communication between employees and management
- Constructive conflict management
Effective social dialogue stimulates innovation and improves employee involvement.
Dialogue on work: a lever for performance
In 2025, dialogue about work is a central concern. QWLW Week, scheduled for June 16-20, addresses the topic of dialogue about work: "Talking about work is productive!" This initiative highlights the importance of creating spaces where employees can discuss their roles, challenges, and successes. Encouraging these exchanges helps strengthen team cohesion and improve working conditions.
3. Work content and organization
Work content and organization have a direct impact on satisfaction and performance.
- Clear, varied and motivating assignments
- Organization to avoid work overload or underload
- Autonomy in line with skills and expectations.
Structured, rewarding work reduces stress and improves overall efficiency, while avoiding tired sighs and "When's the vacation?
The integration of artificial intelligence
The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into work processes is transforming the way tasks are organized. While AI can automate certain functions, it also requires adapting skills and rethinking the distribution of responsibilities. Supporting teams through this transition is essential to maintaining a balanced and motivating work environment.
4. Skills and career paths
Developing employees' skills is both a strategic lever and a motivating factor.
- Ongoing training to support skills development
- Career development opportunities tailored to employees' aspirations
These actions help to retain talent and stimulate commitment.
5. Equality and inclusion: towards an equitable environment
A strong policy of equality and inclusion strengthens the sense of belonging.
- Fight against discrimination
- Consideration of specific needs (disability, parenthood, etc.)
- Promoting diversity to enrich corporate culture
An inclusive company is not only more attractive, but also more successful.
6. Working conditions: promoting balance
Material conditions play a crucial role in QWL:
- Ergonomic and pleasant environment
- High-performance tools to make everyday life easier
- Flexibility in the organization of working hours (e.g. telecommuting, flexible working hours)
These arrangements promote a balance between professional and personal life, which is essential to employees' well-being. The aim? To ensure that your employees get up feeling good, not feeling like calling in sick.
QVCT Week 2025: an opportunity to seize
Quality of Life and Working Conditions Week will be held from June 16 to 20, 2025. This is an opportunity for companies to implement concrete actions to promote well-being at work. ANACT offers an animation kit to help organizations organize internal events. Take advantage of this week to initiate discussions, organize workshops, and strengthen the commitment of your teams.
QWL is based on these six complementary dimensions, which are essential to meeting the expectations of today's employees. By integrating these principles, companies can not only improve their attractiveness, but also strengthen their performance sustainably. 😊
