Formation « Risques psychosociaux (RPS) — le rôle du manager de proximité » : programme, contenu et à qui elle s'adresse
Dans une équipe, la souffrance au travail ne s'annonce presque jamais avec les bons mots. Elle arrive de biais : un collaborateur habituellement ponctuel qui multiplie les retards, une réunion où plus personne ne prend la parole, un arrêt maladie de plus qui « tombe mal », un ton qui monte pour une broutille. Le manager de proximité est le premier à voir ces signaux — et souvent le dernier à savoir quoi en faire. La formation risques psychosociaux RPS « Le rôle du manager de proximité » de DYNSEO a été conçue exactement pour ce point aveugle : transformer une intuition diffuse en lecture claire, puis en gestes concrets.

Le problème qu'elle résout sur le terrain
Les risques psychosociaux regroupent, selon l'Institut national de recherche et de sécurité (INRS), les risques pour la santé mentale, physique et sociale engendrés par les conditions d'emploi et les facteurs organisationnels et relationnels susceptibles d'interagir avec le fonctionnement mental : stress, violences internes, violences externes. Le manager de proximité occupe une position singulière face à eux : il n'est ni médecin du travail, ni psychologue, ni juriste, mais il est celui qui distribue la charge, arbitre les priorités et voit l'équipe tous les jours. Autrement dit, il est à la fois exposé et exposant.
Le vrai problème n'est pas le manque de bonne volonté. C'est l'ambiguïté des signaux. Un comportement observé est presque toujours interprété trop vite — et souvent dans le mauvais sens. Voici quelques situations que les managers rapportent régulièrement.
| Ce qui est observé dans l'équipe | Interprétation fréquente | Ce dont il s'agit souvent |
|---|---|---|
| Un collaborateur devient irritable, s'agace pour un détail | « Mauvais caractère », problème de personnalité | Signal individuel de tension : surcharge, perte de sens, conflit larvé |
| Multiplication des petits retards et des oublis | Négligence, désengagement | Fatigue, charge mentale, difficulté personnelle non dite |
| Le silence s'installe en réunion | « Ils n'ont rien à dire » | Signal collectif : perte de confiance, peur de s'exprimer |
| Hausse des arrêts courts dans le service | Coïncidence, saison | Indicateur d'alerte organisationnel à documenter |
| Deux collègues ne se parlent plus | « Ça va se tasser » | Tension interpersonnelle qui peut dégrader tout le collectif |
| Un salarié performant se met en retrait, refuse les projets | Perte de motivation | Épuisement en cours d'installation : à ne pas ignorer |
Chaque ligne de ce tableau représente, en pratique, un point de bascule : soit le manager passe à côté et la situation se dégrade, soit il lit correctement le signal et agit à temps, dans son rôle. C'est précisément l'objet de la formation : apprendre à observer sans surinterpréter, à comprendre les mécanismes, puis à répondre par des gestes managériaux proportionnés — et à savoir quand relayer vers les acteurs de la prévention et de la santé au travail.

The program : 4 modules, 16 lessons
The course consists of four modules of four lessons each, including one situational lesson per module. The progression is intentionally constructed like a movement : understand, then identify, then act, then embed the action in the long term and the collective framework.
Understanding psychosocial risks
- What RPS really are
- Work-related stress — mechanisms and effects
- Mental load and other invisible factors
- Situational lessons — identifying RPS around you
This first block establishes the common vocabulary. It clarifies what RPS truly encompasses — and what they are not — describes the mechanisms of stress and mental load, and highlights the invisible factors that are often underestimated. The situational lesson anchors the theory in recognizable examples from managerial daily life.
Identifying signals and risk factors
- The six main families of risk factors
- Signals at the individual level
- Signals at the collective level
- Situational lessons — reading signals correctly
The heart of identification. This module presents the six main families of risk factors, then teaches how to distinguish individual signals (behavior, mood, withdrawal) from collective signals (atmosphere, tensions, service indicators). The last lesson trains to read these signals without overinterpreting : observe a fact, formulate it neutrally, avoid hasty conclusions.
The right reflexes for managers in daily life
- Regulating workload and clarifying tasks
- Supporting and recognizing
- Defusing tensions and conflicts
- Situational lessons — acting daily
The most operational part. Here, one learns to regulate workload and clarify what is expected, to support and recognize real work, and to defuse tensions before they become entrenched. The situational lessons offer concrete cases where the manager must choose a proportionate response, within their role, without encroaching on that of the caregiver or psychologist.
The legal framework and collective prevention
- Your obligations and protections
- Working with prevention stakeholders
- Shifting from reaction to sustainable prevention
- Situational lessons — anchoring prevention
The last module places the manager's action within a framework. It presents their obligations and protections, how to work with prevention stakeholders (occupational health, employee representatives, HR, prevention specialists), and the shift from a logic of occasional reaction to sustainable and collective prevention. The training thus closes the loop : from individual signal to organization.
The lesson on mental load and invisible factors (module 1) and the one on defusing tensions (module 3). The first helps understand why a collaborator "who doesn't have that much work" still feels overwhelmed ; the second provides concrete words to intervene early, when a conflict is still recoverable.

The asynchronous format addresses a specific constraint of management: a manager cannot be unavailable for an entire day without their team feeling the impact. Four hours are divided into short sequences, during available times — a break, a start of the morning, a blocked time slot in the agenda — without disrupting the service. Everyone progresses at their own pace, revisits a lesson when the situation arises in the field, and retains access to the content over time.
What you will be able to do by the end
Identify a signal in time
Distinguish an individual signal from a collective signal, formulate it as an observable fact and not as a judgment, without dramatizing or minimizing.
Regulate the workload
Clarify priorities, adjust the distribution, and make the work clear for the team, one of the most direct levers on psychosocial risks.
Support and recognize
Adopt concrete and regular gestures of recognition, which weigh on the climate much more than occasional grand statements.
Defuse a tension
Intervene early on a budding conflict, set a framework for exchange, and prevent the situation from contaminating the entire group.
Know your obligations
Identify your role and protections, know what falls under your responsibility and what should be relayed to prevention actors.
Move to sustainable prevention
Move beyond mere reaction to crises to establish collective habits that reduce risks over time.
The training prioritizes practical situations over pure theory: each module ends with concrete cases. The idea is not to add abstract knowledge, but to leave with exact phrases to say and precise gestures to perform. For example, when facing a colleague who is disengaging, you do not start with "what's wrong with you?" but with a fact: "I noticed that over the last two weeks, several points have been overlooked. Do you want us to look together at what is happening?" ❌ To avoid: making a diagnosis ("you are burning out") — this is not the manager's role, and it is up to the health professional to assess it.
Qualiopi, certificate, and funding
DYNSEO is a training organization certified Qualiopi, registered under the activity declaration number 11757351875. The certification focuses on the quality of the process: defined educational objectives, adaptation to audiences, qualification of trainers, collection of feedback, and continuous improvement approach.
Each learner receives a certificate of completion in their name, to be added to the individual file and usable within the quality approach of the organization. It is neither a state diploma nor a regulated certification: it is a certificate of participation in a training action.
On the financing side, the Qualiopi certification is the condition that allows an employer to consider coverage under the skills development plan or by their skills operator. The rules, ceilings, and procedures vary according to branches, funders, and situations: the only reliable approach is to have the quote and program validated by the HR service or the funding organization before the purchase. No amount of aid can be presented here as guaranteed in advance.
Deploying training in a team
The online format facilitates collective deployment in a managerial line, provided that one does not simply send a link and wait.
- Set an observable objective. For example: harmonize the way managers identify and report tension signals within three months. Without an objective, the training remains a box checked.
- Block time. Two short slots per week in the agenda are better than a vague instruction of “do it when you can.”
- Designate a referent. A manager or an HR who advances a module beforehand and leads a few minutes of recap in the management meeting.
- Ground each module in reality. After module 2, anonymously share a signal actually observed in a department. After module 3, reenact a tension de-escalation in a small group.
- Articulate with prevention. Connect what managers learn to the work of the occupational physician, employee representatives, and the existing RPS approach.
- Plan a follow-up in three months. What has really changed in management practices? This distinguishes useful training from training that is simply consumed.
Price and registration
The training is offered at €150 per learner, with immediate and unlimited access. Registration is done entirely online, in a few minutes.
- Open the training page and add it to the cart.
- Create the learner account, or log in, then confirm the payment.
- Access is immediate: the training appears in the learner space and the first lesson starts right away.
To register multiple managers or obtain a quote for an organization, the training page and the contact page of the site allow for a proposal tailored to the number of learners. The catalog of free tools and the cognitive tests DYNSEO complement the approach usefully.
What this training is not
- It does not diagnose. Identifying a signal is not diagnosing a disorder. The evaluation of individual suffering falls under the occupational physician, the treating physician, or a psychologist.
- It does not replace care. In the face of a situation that exceeds the managerial framework, the manager's role is to direct towards competent professionals and systems, not to treat themselves.
- It is not legal expertise. The legal framework is addressed to clarify the manager's action, not to substitute for legal advice or the HR function.
- It is not a diploma. The certificate attests to participation in a training action, not to a regulated qualification.
- It is not an in-person training. There is no live trainer: it is an online course, to be followed at one's own pace.
In case of a serious situation and immediate danger — suicidal remarks, acute distress, threat to a person's integrity — this is no longer management: contact the emergency services in your country and the relevant health actors without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to complete the training?
About four hours in total for the 4 modules and 16 lessons. The lessons are short, and most managers spread the course over two to four weeks, taking short sessions during available times. Access remains open afterward, with no end date: one can revisit a specific lesson when the situation actually arises in the team. This flexible pace is designed not to disrupt a service and to allow for the gradual application of what has been learned.
Does the training provide a diploma?
No, it issues a personalized certificate of completion, not a state diploma or regulated certification. This certificate attests to participation in a training action: it is added to the learner's individual file and integrates into the quality approach of the organization. DYNSEO is certified Qualiopi (No. 11757351875), and the training process meets recognized quality requirements, which is also a useful condition for considering funding by the employer.
How does access work after registration?
Access is immediate. Once payment is validated, the training appears in the learner's space, and the first lesson starts right away. The course is 100% online accessible from a computer, tablet, or smartphone, allowing progress wherever and whenever possible. Access is unlimited in time: there is no imposed end date, nor obligation to follow everything in one go. Everyone progresses at their own pace and retains the ability to revisit the content.
Can the training be covered by the employer?
This is possible: DYNSEO is a Qualiopi certified training organization, a condition generally required for coverage under the skills development plan or by a skills operator. The rules, ceilings, and procedures vary according to sectors, funders, and situations. No amount can be guaranteed in advance: the reliable approach is to have the program and quote validated by your HR department or funding organization before purchase. A quote can be established for multiple learners.
Are prior knowledge or skills required?
No. The training is classified for all levels and requires no prerequisites. It starts with the definition of PSR and the mechanisms of stress, explained simply, before moving on to identifying signals and then the concrete reflexes of the manager. It is suitable for both a manager discovering the subject and an experienced supervisor wishing to structure and update what they already do intuitively. The situational scenarios present in each module make the content accessible and directly transposable to everyday life.
