Automotive charity Ben has marked World Wellbeing Week with the launch of a new wellbeing platform.
Developed specifically for the automotive industry in partnership with Wellonomics, BenWell is an insight-led app and web portal which automotive businesses can use to take the emotional and physical temperature of their team.
Each month, employees spend less than 10 minutes answering questions across six key personal wellbeing areas, and five management areas. Once completed, their personal dashboard gives a real-time view of their wellbeing and offers tailored support and guidance from experts in each area, accessed via mobile, tablet or desktop.
In addition to the app and web portal, the complete BenWell package also includes access to printed wellbeing documentation, access to the HR compliance platform HR Manager Lite, and access to a portfolio of Ben Training courses.
Matt Wigginton, Director of Partnerships, Engagement & Income at Ben, said: “Our most recent industry survey showed us that 94% of automotive workers have been personally affected by a health and wellbeing issue in the last 12 months. That figure is astonishing. Not only does this mean our automotive colleagues have been struggling, it also means that businesses are suffering too. Employee absence, reductions in productivity, low team morale – all of these things are caused by wellbeing issues and ultimately affect the health of your business.
“By partnering with data specialists Wellonomics, we have combined our unique insight into the automotive community with industry-leading technology to produce a platform that we truly believe will help to improve the wellbeing of the automotive family as a whole.”
