The Mindful Business Charter was born out of discussions between the in house legal team at Barclays and two of their panel law firms, Pinsent Masons and Addleshaw Goddard, along the following lines:

The people working in their businesses are highly driven professionals;

We do pressured, often complex, work which requires high levels of cognitive functioning;

We thrive on that hard work and pressure;

In amongst that pressure and hard work there is stress, some of which is unnecessary;

When we are stressed we work less productively, and it is not good for our health; and

If we could remove that unnecessary stress, we would enable people to work more effectively and efficiently, as well as be happier and healthier.

Since its start, the Charter has been signed by leading banks and law firms on two public signing ceremonies, and continues to steadily grow. It is committed to driving change in how we work, and to promoting mental health awareness, eliminating avoidable stress, and being thoughtful in corporate workplaces. 

The Charter is always open to new signatories. If you would like to know more please visit our website www.mindfulbusinesscharter.com
