In some companies, the employee sometimes finds himself “in the closet”. Live on the 12/13 set, Wednesday October 26, journalist Anne-Claire Le Sann explains what this means, with a look at a study by the Institut Montaigne.
What is an employee put “in the closet”? “He is a person deprived of the tasks and responsibilities that he previously exercised, while being maintained in the company”explains journalist Anne-Claire Le Sannpresent on the set of 12/13, Wednesday October 26. This can be expressed by five criteria such as the loss of meaning of one’s work, the tendency to withdraw from one’s colleagues, not finding interest in the tasks entrusted, finding one’s days long and when the hierarchy is not interested more to you.
This phenomenon affects “about 200,000 people” and “all job and employee profiles, even if large companies and the administration are particularly affected, as well as women and seniors at the end of their careers”explains the journalist. It costs approx. “10 billion euros at least per year”because in addition to wages, there is also the cost work stoppages. “Stops doubled in a few years because the closet can be hard to live with psychologically. It is the second cause of sick leave. The labor code also equates the closet to moral harassment”concludes Anne-Claire Le Sann.
