Jason Berry speaks to William Lloyd-Hayward
In the third episode of this series of videos, Jason Berry, co-founder of the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC) talks to William Lloyd-Hayward.
Lloyd-Hayward is the group chief operating officer at Brightstar Financial, one of the co-founders of the charter.
In their wide-ranging discussion, Lloyd-Hayward explains how Brightstar supports mental health through an open, honest calm and caring environment so that its people feel that they can talk and express themselves.
Brightstar also offers a People Development Agenda to support and provide direction and a personal plan if needed. Through having qualified mental health first aiders throughout the business, there is always someone to talk to.
Lloyd-Hayward goes onto explain that the charter is there to particularly support smaller businesses that may not have the resources available or don’t know where to start in creating a mental health strategy.
He urges all businesses to embrace, engage and communicate, otherwise they will suffer by not having the right frameworks in place. Lloyd-Hayward encourages all businesses in the mortgage industry to join MIMHC as it is a straightforward and an easy commitment to make to support mental health and wellbeing.
In forthcoming videos, Jason will be chatting with key figures across the mortgage industry about how they keep the mental health conversation going in their businesses.
