It also reinstates its 'Summer Fridays' perk for employees
Mortgage technology provider Mortgage Brain has announced that it has become a signatory of the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC), demonstrating its dedication to supporting the mental health and overall wellbeing of its team.
“As a leading player in our industry, we acknowledge the responsibility we bear, not just to our clients, but also to our hardworking team,” stated Pollyanna Puddephat (pictured), head of marketing at Mortgage Brain. “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.”
In addition to signing the MIMHC, the firm said it was bringing back its ‘Summer Fridays’ perk, which encourages employees to wrap up their work week at lunchtime on Fridays throughout the months of July and August.
Our industry can bring with it stress and poor mental health for our people. That’s why we’ve signed the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter and we’re bringing back Summer Fridays. 😎

“By reinstating ‘Summer Fridays’, we want to create an opportunity for our staff to relax, recharge, and enjoy their summer weekends even more,” she said. “Whether they choose a quiet garden snooze or adventures with friends and family, we hope this initiative will show our people that they are valued, and their hard work is very much appreciated.
“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."
