Learning unit contents
Partim Ginette Herman. The effects of discrimination in the workplace
Some groups such as women, immigrants, handicapped people etc. are discriminated against in the workplace. This course deals with the processes leading to discrimination and with its effecs on those concerned. It also approaches the strategies spontaneously devised by the latter to try and maintain self-esteem and a comfortable mental health as well as the role of actions on the ground and the public policies aiming at fighting discrimination.
Partim Annalisa Gasini: Psycho-social aspects of work, health and company actions seeking to promote health at work.
This course analyses the connections between numerous psycho-social factors at work, workers' health and the good functioning of enterprises. The relation between the various psycho-social dimensions and health is approached on the basis on the analytical grid for gender and health's social inequalities. Belgian and European epidemiological data give evidence of the importance of the issue. The course brings into focus the recent evolutions concerning the programmes enhancing health protection at work, and leads on to a group exercice in which students have to think up a genuine screening and intervention protocole for companies.
Partim Isabelle Hansez: Maintaining aged workers' employment
The course deals with aged workers' reasons for leaving work, those motivated by personal choices (intrinsic reasons) as well as by constrained choices (extrinsic choices) will be analysed. The impact of stress and of commitment to work will also be considered. Job-keeping solutions will be approached in terms of work conditions adjustments, skills development, working hours adjustments etc. The age management perspective will be presented.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Through presenting the theoretical and empirical aspects of the connection between work and well-being, this course aims at equipping students with a good understanding of the concepts and the necessary skills for their application and critical apprehension. The course brings students to analysing the working conditions influencing occupatioal health through identifying relevant psychological and psychosocial processes, and proposes some tools for remediation. Various specific situations will be considered from the epidemiological, clinical and social angle.

Assessment methods and criteria
Students are assessed on the basis of a written exam (open questions) bearing on but one part of the course: this, for the current academic year, is the part taught by Arnaud Angenot and Isabelle Flamion, both of whose teaching on aged workers' maintained employment is done under Isabelle Hansez' responsibility.
Assessment as regards the other parts of the course is based on the students' active participation in class. No additional work will be required from regular and active class participants. In the case of absence (albeit justified), students are expected to make contact (on their own initiative) with the teachers concerned so as to know how they will be assessed for those parts of the course.
