Our ‘White Paper’ report explores the current sentiment which exists within the mortgage industry and importantly, highlights key areas in which mental health provision needs to improve.

Whilst there are some pleasing trends there still remains work to do;-

• Employer participation in wellbeing initiatives is now up to circa 70%
• Professional contentment has improved vs 2024
• Work/life balance stabilising (circa 34% improved)
  but
• More people are working from home permanently or hybrid yet 22% indicate mental health is poor or of concern

Our 2026 mission is to serve the sector needs and our focus is very much on;-

1. Promoting Healthier Balance
   We’re encouraging healthier working hours, better rest, and improved sleep habits across the mortgage industry — helping people recharge and perform at their best.

3. Embedding Wellbeing in Business
   We’ll help firms move beyond awareness and build practical, measurable wellbeing strategies that truly support their people.
4. Building Stronger Connections
   Through Walk & Talk events, industry roundtables, and peer forums, we’ll create safe spaces for collaboration, support, and shared learning.
