On 19 February 2026 in Brussels, the first session of a series on Transactional Analysis and psychological harassment in the workplace, From Drama to Awareness, focused on harassment and its dynamics. Harassment was defined as repeated, intentional behaviour (verbal or physical) that intimidates or harms a person, in psychological or sexual forms.
The session also introduced support mechanisms such as mediation services and their role in providing confidential guidance.
Finally, it explored the Drama Triangle (Victim, Rescuer, Persecutor) and its impact on workplace dynamics, and presented the Empowerment Triangle as a more constructive framework promoting responsibility, coaching, and accountability.

What happens between now and the publication of the draft promotion/reclassification lists in June? And what happens between then and the publication of the final lists in November?
For a clear reply on this and other related questions,
