Being alone with your demons reduces your chances of escaping them

Beyond the already well known addiction phenomena (tobacco, alcohol, drugs…), new forms of addiction are emerging and disturbing employees at a distance. Bruno Mettling, former HR director of the Orange group and founding president of Topics, and Pierre Polomeni, psychiatrist and occupational physician, are alerting HR directors, especially since 41% of employees report more frequent addictive practices in remote locations, or ten points more than in the usual workplace, according to a study. To the point that the Ministry of Labour is proposing a new system for companies to strengthen the prevention of addictive behaviour in the workplace.
