Automotive industry charity Ben has introduced new health checks for those working in the automotive sector.
The new service offers a personal physical and mental MOT through one-on-one conversations with a qualified health professional. The health checks also identify potential issues and suggest positive steps to support better living and working.
Anyone interested can benefit from a 20-minute physical check that covers heart rate, blood pressure, body mass index and body fat percentage, or a 30-minute physical and mental check.
To start the roll out, Ben will offer heath checks at the upcoming UK Garage and Bodyshop Event on 5-6 June at the NEC.
Rachel Clift, Health & Wellbeing Director at Ben, said, “It’s never been more important for employers to prioritise employee health and wellbeing, especially at the moment when there are multiple work and life pressures on our automotive family. Employee absences can be linked to lifestyle-related illnesses, with factors such as alcohol, obesity and smoking known to be at the root of many health conditions.
“With one in three automotive people reporting to be struggling with their mental health or wellbeing, providing a health check is a proactive step, empowering people to take control of their health and wellbeing so they can lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. By booking Ben Health Checks for your employees, you’re not only investing in your people and your business, you’ll also be supporting your industry charity.”
