Automotive industry charity is urging the industry to take part in its latest Health & Wellbeing survey.
Ben is urging as many people as possible who work, or have worked, in the automotive industry to share their health and wellbeing experiences.
The charity wants to hear what health and wellbeing issues have affected automotive people and their families over the past year and what they think their challenges might be in the future.
The survey is confidential, takes under 10 minutes and each participant has the chance to win a £500 Amazon voucher.
Ben uses the survey results to guide future support and service development for automotive individuals who are struggling or in crisis.
The results from Ben’s Health & Wellbeing survey are also shared annually in a report to help automotive industry employers better support the health and wellbeing of their workforce.
Last year’s survey indicated that:
- 99.6% of automotive workers were personally affected by a health and wellbeing issue
- Stress was the most common issue (56%), followed by poor sleep (51%) and feelings of anxiety (43%)
- Seven in 10 automotive workers were worried about money – up from 6 in 10 year on year
- One in 7 (14%) automotive people are considering leaving the industry – and 63% of those considering leaving the industry were experiencing stress at work.
Rachel Clift, Ben’s chief executive (pictured above), said: “Tell us about the health and wellbeing challenges you’ve faced over the past 12 months and what you think you might need in the future so we can provide the very best support and services, as your charity.
“The insights we gain from our annual surveys are vital in so many ways.
“As well as providing support for life for industry-connected individuals and their families, our mission is to help automotive employers build a motivated and resilient workforce.
“So if you’re automotive industry-connected, please help us to help you and take the survey now.
“It’ll only take 10 minutes of your time and will help us do even more to support you and the health and wellbeing of our automotive family as a whole.”
