When work takes up too much space
If this wave of anxiety especially affects women, it does not spare men. 15% of them, compared to 23% of women, therefore suffer from critical or at-risk mental health.

The authors of the study defend the virtue of a true culture of feedback, a vector of progress, but also a sense of recognition.
