Take part in Ben’s new automotive Health & Wellbeing survey for chance to win £500
Automotive industry charity, Ben, has launched its new Health & Wellbeing survey for 2023 and is encouraging everyone who works, or has worked, in the industry to share their experiences, with the chance to win a £500 Amazon voucher. The survey is confidential and takes around 10 minutes to complete.
Ben’s annual survey helps the industry charity understand what health & wellbeing-related issues have been affecting automotive industry people over the past 12 months. Ben then uses the information collected to ensure the charity provides the support services people need now and in the future.
By taking part, respondents also enable Ben to let automotive employers know what health & wellbeing support employees would like to see in their workplace. The aim is to directly help individuals, as well as helping build a more supportive and resilient automotive industry.
Help us to help you – take the survey now!

99% of automotive workers were personally affected by a health and wellbeing issue over the 12-month period
Stress was the most common issue (66%), followed by poor sleep and low mood
Anxiety and depression issues are more common in the automotive industry than in the rest of the UK working population (1 in 3 versus 1 in 6)
High workload was the biggest driver of stress in the workplace.
Rachel Clift, Health & Wellbeing Director at Ben, said:
