description Which ways and means should we encourage and promote to combat psychological harassment in the workplace? The current trend in companies is to adopt policies and to plan for mediation services or official inquiry procedures. The present paper analyses first the advantages and limitations of these interventions, which are of a highly psychological or legal nature. Next, by bringing to light the managerial processes involved in numerous harassment situations, we understand that an effective fight against harassment cannot be reduced to individual interventions on the margins of the actual workplace. The interventions to be promoted should therefore help strengthen the bonds of solidarity weakened by forms of work organization and management that put people in constant situations of insecurity, overwork and competition. These interventions must allow collective action and expression.
