Quality of working life and working conditions (QVCT)
An approach that seeks to reconcile better working conditions, employee health and company performance by acting on work content and organisation, management, social dialogue and work-life balance. Stemming from the French national cross-industry agreement of 9 December 2020, the concept replaced quality of working life (QVT) in mandatory bargaining under the Act of 2 August 2021.
