The intention of the Mindful Business Charter is to remove unnecessary sources of stress and promote better mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. It is drafted as a series of simple aims and aspirations. Rather than a rule book with a list of demands and expectations, it is a call to arms, to be more thoughtful, and mindful in the workplace. It is based on four pillars: openness & respect, smart meetings & mailings, respecting rest periods, and mindful delegation. The Charter asks organisations to drive forward the actions and change necessary to support the Mindful Business Charter, to promote a culture where people can speak up early about any concerns that they might have with their wellbeing (or the wellbeing of colleagues), to make performance against the Mindful Business Charter/ responsible business a priority standing agenda item for all client and supplier relationship review meetings, to ensure responsible business is included as an area of assessment during significant procurement processes, and finally, once established, to introduce the Mindful Business Charter to one new member every 12 months.
