Mortgage Brain has announced that it has become a signatory of the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC).

The technology provider to the mortgage industry said the move demonstrates an ongoing dedication to supporting the mental health and overall wellbeing of its team.

A not-for-profit organisation, the MIMHC was made up of seven co-founding firms as well as a growing number of signatories. Its co-founders include Brightstar, Chartwell Mortgage Services, Coreco, Crystal Specialist Finance, Knowledge Bank, Landbay and SimplyBiz Mortgages.

The charter aims to provide guidance, hints, tips and a simple framework so that member companies can embrace then tailor bespoke services which best support their staff.

Head of marketing at Mortgage Brain, Pollyanna Puddephat, commented: “As a leading player in our industry, we acknowledge the responsibility we bear, not just to our clients, but also to our hardworking team. Signing the MIMHC is our commitment to fostering a supportive, healthy, and inclusive work environment.

“As an industry, it’s crucial that we acknowledge and address the struggles many individuals around us face – be it burnout, stress, or poor mental health. These challenges have profound implications, not only for the individuals experiencing them but also for the overall health of the mortgage industry.”

Puddephat added: “By taking care of one another, we are, in essence, taking care of our businesses, because a supported and mentally healthy workforce is the foundation of a thriving and successful company.”
