Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for engineering

One in four engineers has considered self-harm or suicide, yet only half would tell their employer they're stressed. In a profession built on solving problems, mental health is the one problem most engineers won't raise. Spill lowers the barrier: private, same-day counselling booked from a phone, with no manager referral and no forms.

Proudly supporting engineering firms across the UK

Engineers fix everything except this

Engineering is a heavily male-dominated profession, over 89% male, in which more than 70% of workers feel men are expected to control their emotions and not show weakness. That culture suppresses help-seeking and leaves serious problems hidden until they reach crisis point.

Suicidal thoughts

1 in 4 engineers have considered self-harm or taking their own life, up from 1 in 5 in 2019. (EqualEngineers, 2022)

A widening risk gap

Male engineers are 3.5x more likely than women to report self-harm or suicidal thoughts. (EqualEngineers, 2022)

Reluctance to seek help

Only 50% of engineers feel comfortable talking to their employer about stress. (EqualEngineers, 2022)

Support that reaches people before crisis

In a culture where showing strain feels unacceptable, problems surface late and expensively, as absence, errors or resignations. Spill makes reaching out easy enough that people do it early.

Make resilience part of the culture

Give people tools for stress, imposter syndrome and always-on pressure.

Ship with clearer heads

Supported teams focus better, collaborate better and burn out less.

Cut burnout before it bites

Same-day support catches problems while they're still small.
