Mindful Business Charter Community Area

Dear [ Name/Organisation name]

[I hope you and your family are well.]

I wanted to introduce you to an initiative we are proud to support - the Mindful Business Charter (MBC). It aligns closely with our purpose and values, and we think it may be of real interest to [organisation name] as well.

The MBC is a community of businesses committed to changing the mindset that excessive stress is an inevitable part of work. It focuses on practical ways to minimise unnecessary stress and promote better mental health and relies on collaboration and shared learning between organisations to create healthier and more sustainable ways of working.

Rather than prescribing a single approach, the Charter provides a flexible framework, and a common language built around four integral pillars:

1.      Openness and respect

2.      Smart meetings and communication

3.      Respect for rest periods

4.      Mindful delegation

We want people to work hard, but in a way that ensures that we do so effectively, healthily and sustainably.

The MBC has already helped shift attitudes towards mental health and wellbeing, sparking meaningful conversations between leading businesses and clients that simply wouldn't have taken place even a few years ago.

By signing up to the Charter, you can help drive this change within your organisation – reducing avoidable stress, improving service quality and ultimately increasing performance and profitability.

Here is a list of fellow signatories who have made the same commitment to improving workplace practices. As you can see, it is an increasingly diverse and global movement for change.

You can find the principles of the Charter here and an introduction to what the MBC does here, which highlights the positive impact that MBC members are already experiencing. There is no one-size-fits-all approach for adopting the MBC so if you are interested then I’d be delighted to discuss how it could work for [organisation name] and happily assist you in joining.

Kind regards,

‍
