A recent survey by the French firm Qualisocial reveals that **one in three** employees in France has experienced workplace harassment during their professional lives. The findings, published on October 1st, show that this figure has not changed since a similar survey conducted four years ago. According to the study, commissioned by Ipsos BVA and the union of enterprise lawyers in social law, AvoSial, 33% of employees reported being victims of harassment, while 40% said they had witnessed such incidents. These numbers highlight the persistent nature of the issue in French workplaces. Workplace harassment is more prevalent in the public sector, with 81% of employees in that sector reporting exposure to such situations. Part-time workers and those on fixed-term contracts, temporary work, or apprenticeships are also more likely to face harassment, with 47% and 44% respectively reporting exposure. Younger workers, women, and those in non-permanent roles are particularly affected, with 42% of those under 25, 38% of women, and 28% of men reporting harassment. Camy Puech, head of Qualisocial, notes that workplace harassment has become more complex in the past one or two years. He says that in many cases, harassment is "already established for a long time and has reached levels where returning is almost impossible." He also highlights that nearly half of employees fear that reporting harassment could harm their careers, with younger workers and women expressing this concern more strongly. Despite these issues, only 21% of employees believe their organizations have trained individuals to detect harassment, suggesting a lack of proactive measures to address the problem. The survey also points to the growing role of digital platforms in workplace harassment, with 53% of those aged 18-25 reporting harassment through emails, social media, or video conferencing. In contrast, less than 20% of older employees have experienced such issues. Camy Puech notes that many employees are unaware of reporting mechanisms, and early signs of harassment often go unnoticed. He adds that the cultural acceptance of inappropriate behavior, such as jokes that later turn into humiliation, contributes to the problem. The authors of the survey urge companies to focus on prevention and to provide training on real-world examples of harassment. They recommend securing the voice of employees, structuring internal investigations, and ensuring accessible and confidential reporting processes. They also emphasize the need for clear, impartial investigations conducted by trained professionals to protect all parties involved and legally safeguard employers. The survey was conducted online by Ipsos BVA among a representative sample of 2,000 workers in private or public organizations with at least five employees.
