With the COVID-19 pandemic, barrier measures also concerned the world of work. In particular, teleworking was encouraged over a long period in France and then generalized in April 2021, promoting social isolation. The anxious climate linked to the pandemic and the precipitous nature of this decision induced a new psychosocial risk factor. The psychological manifestations linked to stress: anxiety, depressive disorders and others justify without delay a global action plan with systematic support measures by local management, systematic screening for possible maladjustment by the occupational health services and support people in difficulty. For this purpose and in these circumstances, self-questionnaires, directed questionnaires and video interviews appear to be the most suitable means. The chosen and part-time teleworking making it possible to reconcile family and professional life will remain a solution at certain times of life, but full-time teleworking cannot constitute an univocal and lasting solution.
