WE'RE A PROUD SIGNATORY OF THE MORTGAGE INDUSTRY MENTAL HEALTH CHARTER
We’ve taken the next step in our commitment to supporting our colleagues’ health and wellbeing by signing the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC).
A not-for-profit organisation, the MIMHC consists of seven co-founding firms and a growing number of signatories, who agree to six governing rules that encapsulate best-practice health and wellbeing guidelines.
Hear from our CEO…
Iain Kirkpatrick, our CEO said, “Through our Thrive Agenda, we promise to help our members, colleagues, and community flourish.
We actively promote our colleagues’ wellbeing with a variety of different initiatives including:
- Free, professional wellbeing support available 24/7, private health insurance and a medical cash plan
- Fully accredited mental health first-aiders across the organisation
- Awareness and advice sessions from experts around subjects including menopause, nutrition, anti-bullying and dementia support
- Free social activities to bring colleagues together
- Support and paid time off to volunteer and get involved in the local community – up to three days in 2024 with our leap day ‘giving back’ bonus
- Hybrid working and family-friendly policies
- Subsidised yoga classes and discounted gym membership
Signing the MIMHC is a natural next step and shows our unwavering commitment to supporting our colleagues’ mental health.
As we forge ahead to become best for brokers, we’ll continue to do what’s right for their wellbeing too. Our ‘No Surprises’ commitment guarantees at least 24 hours’ notice of any product withdrawals. We introduced it after seeing the impact other lenders’ quick withdrawals were having on our broker partners and it’s a commitment that’s far from standard in the market. It forms part of our recently launched Best for Brokers Promise.”
Jason Berry, the co-founder of MIMHC and Group Sales Director at Crystal Specialist Finance added “Market Harborough Building Society is making an important, public commitment to prioritise the best possible mental health for all its colleagues by signing the Charter.
MIMHC is calling for systemic change across our sector to ensure far greater support is available for those in need – and this process requires both commitment and collaboration. By working together, we can create a more supportive and compassionate environment for everyone working in the mortgage industry.”
