A not-for-profit organisation, the MIMHC consists of seven co-founding firms and a growing number of signatories, who agree to be bound by six governing rules that encapsulate best-practice health and wellbeing guidelines.
Commenting on the sign-up, Market Harborough chief executive Iain Kirkpatrick said: “Through our Thrive Agenda, we promise to help our members, colleagues, and community flourish. We actively promote our colleagues’ wellbeing with a variety of different initiatives. These include regular Thrive Together focus days on topics including recognising vulnerability, supported by our fully accredited mental health first-aiders from across the organisation.
He added: “Free social activities are held throughout the year to bring colleagues together to build a supportive and collaborative environment. In 2024, colleagues can take three days’ paid leave to volunteer and get involved in the local community. Signing the MIMHC is a natural next step and demonstrates our unwavering commitment to supporting our colleagues’ mental health.”
