Brokers are being urged to complete a survey on their mental health before it closes next week in order to benchmark advisers’ wellbeing and help improve the support that firms offer.

The Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC) is calling on advisers and other employees in the sector to complete its annual mental health survey before entries close next Friday, April 26.

Respondents will be asked to report back anonymously on their emotional and psychological experiences of working in the industry, stress levels, sleep patterns and the quality of support on offer from their employer.

Based on the survey’s findings, MIMHC hopes that employers will subsequently implement initiatives to create healthier workplaces and working practices.

MIMHC co-founder and group sales director at Crystal Specialist Finance, Jason Berry says: “We’ve already had an excellent response from industry professionals this year – but we’re hoping that even more will now share their views to help shape the sector’s future before the survey closes.

“All entries are anonymous and this is everyone’s chance to make their views heard.

“The survey yields invaluable insights about the emotional and psychological issues that really count – from stress and anxiety to financial worries.

“These findings will be turned into a white paper which will be shared among our members during Mental Health Awareness Week 2024, which runs from May 13-19, to enable them to implement appropriate initiatives and support packages.”
