La résolution des problèmes rencontrés en milieu de travail peut être stimulante, tant sur le plan physique que sur le plan psychique.

On a souvent tendance à confondre les défis rencontrés au travail avec le stress. Il s’agit pourtant de deux choses distinctes. Pour que le milieu de travail puisse demeurer satisfaisant et productif, il est nécessaire que les travailleurs rencontrent des défis qui soient à leur mesure, alors que le stress nuit au rendement et débouche sur l’épuisement et la maladie.

La violence en milieu de travail est un risque professionnel pour la santé et la sécurité. Les études et enquêtes scientifiques sur la violence au travail ne datent que du milieu des années 1980. Avant cela, on avait accordé peu d’attention à ce problème. Il y a maintenant une plus grande sensibilisation des gens aux dangers de violence auxquels les travailleurs sont exposés. Les travailleurs occupant divers emplois effectuent des tâches qui les exposent à des risques. Ceux qui ont des rapports avec le public font face au plus grand danger de violence. Cette catégorie d’emplois comprend la vente au détail, les services alimentaires, l’accueil et le transport, ainsi que les services de santé et d’éducation. La reconnaissance de la violence au travail comme risque important pour la santé et la sécurité est le premier pas vers sa prévention.
