Automotive industry charity Ben is encouraging those working within the sector to take part in its 2022 Health and Wellbeing Survey.
The survey aims to take the emotional temperature of the industry and better understand the issues and concerns of the automotive community.
It includes a series of questions relating to physical and mental health and results will help Ben assess the services it offers and ensure it is offering the right support to those in need.
Rachel Clift, Health & Wellbeing Director at Ben, said: “Our Health & Wellbeing survey is crucial as it gives us an overview of what is really going on in the automotive community, and allows us to focus our efforts on helping people in the right way with the right resources.
“We rely on this information to ensure support is getting to people who need it the most. It also enables us to develop our products and services in line with this fast-changing industry landscape.”
Last year’s survey revealed that 94% of automotive workers were personally affected by a health and wellbeing issue over the 12-month period, with stress the most common issue, followed by anxiety and poor sleep.
It found that 32% of those surveyed sought out support with their health and wellbeing, although, encouragingly, 60% said they were happy in their jobs.
