The new signatories, all of whom joined the charter over the past year, also include Berkeley Research Group, Stephenson Harwood LLP, Payne Hicks Beach, Wedlake Bell LLP, Foot Anstey LLP, Birketts LLP, Fox & Partners Solicitors LLP, FRP Advisory plc, Intrepid Associates and Knox Design Strategy. 

They join a global community of nearly 130 organisations from across the legal and wider professional services sectors. As members, signatories commit to more thoughtful, intentional working practices that support better mental health and improved performance, underpinned by MBC’s frameworks and best practice guidelines. 

Welcoming the new members, Richard Martin, CEO of the Mindful Business Charter said: “We are very proud to formally welcome eleven new members to the Charter. With the cost of mental ill health in England estimated to be at £300 billion a year, it is more critical than ever that employers are seeking to make real improvements for their teams. 

“Since the Mindful Business Charter launched in 2018, we have helped hundreds of organisations develop more effective ways of working and improve workplace wellbeing. Our latest annual survey shows 100 per cent of our members have made progress in key focus areas, such as more effective use of emails and respecting annual leave.

“We look forward to continuing to grow and achieving more milestones with our members.”
