After an end-of-year marked by media revelations about brutal management in some Prime Minister’s services, the executive sets up a new alert system. Saturday 1 Er January, an order to implement a “scheme for reporting and treating acts of violence, discrimination, harassment and situations of suffering at work” within the services of the Prime Minister has been published at Official Journal.

This decree specifies that this device is open to current “victims or controls of these acts, as well as agents who have left the Prime Minister’s services for less than six months. An anonymous report of reports and their treatment will be “presented to the Hygiene, Safety and Working Conditions Committee [CHSCT], adds the text, in order to have a global vision and the duration of the situation.

This device is the result of a legal obligation for all public employers, decided by the law of August 6, 2019 for the transformation of the public service, but had not yet been put in place within the services of the first Minister.

DISEASE STOPS, BURN-OUT AND ANTI-SPORTS

In recent months, several investigations had highlighted brutal management in these services.

In June, the media specialized public actors revealed a climate of voltage within the interdepartmental direction of the digital (dinum), a service in particular in charge of modernization of the state. At issue: the new non-renewal policy of agents arrived at the end of their two fixed-term contracts. Also on the dinum, a survey of the world reported in December the testimony of about twenty agents concerning the proliferation of sick leave, burn-out and antidepressant requirements in this service. His director, Nadi Bou Hanna, announced that he would leave his duties at “mid-January”.

In July, Le Monde reported similar facts within the Government Information Service (GIS). An audit had been sponsored by the Prime Minister’s Office concerning his director, Michael Nathan, and concluded at the lack of harassment.
