Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for packaging
How long can someone keep pace with a high-speed line before it starts to wear on them? Packaging runs on tight margins, repetitive work and lines that never slow down for anyone's bad week. Spill gives your team same-day therapy sessions, booked privately by text from their own phone. Nobody at work knows who's using it, and it's £75 a month for the whole team.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

The hidden strain of high-speed packaging lines
Mental ill-health now accounts for around 40% of long-term sickness absence in manufacturing, making it the single biggest cause (Make UK, 2024). On packaging lines, the drivers are easy to spot: high-speed work that never lets attention drift, repetitive tasks that dull the day, and tight margins that keep staffing lean. That combination wears people down quietly.
Leading cause of absence
Mental ill-health is the single biggest cause of long-term sickness absence in manufacturing, around 40% of cases. (Make UK, 2024)
Intention to leave
Over half of manufacturing workers would look for a new job if their wellbeing wasn't supported. (Make UK, 2024)
Work harming wellbeing
Nearly 1 in 4 manufacturing workers say their work environment harms their mental health. (Make UK, 2024)
What your lines gain from real support
Tight margins leave no room for the absence, turnover and errors that burnt-out teams produce. Fast, private support keeps experienced operators on your line and costly mistakes off it.
Build resilience on the front line
Give your team practical tools to handle rush-hour pressure, difficult customers and long days on their feet.
Keep the team sharp
Staff who get support for personal and work struggles bring more energy to every shift.
Cut short-notice absence
Early support stops small struggles snowballing into last-minute call-outs and long sick leave.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A private way for line and office staff to talk to a qualified therapist, booked by SMS from any phone around shift patterns. Same-day availability from 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, with no forms.


Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures manufacturing workers face. Covering over 200 topics from stress and fatigue to financial wellbeing and sleep, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.

FAQs
For a packaging manufacturer, the best EAP is the one your line teams will use between shifts. Four tests matter: is it completely private, with no manager referral; can people book from their own phone in their own language; are sessions unlimited rather than capped; and does it cover contractors on your books. Spill passes all four, with same-day sessions from the top 5% of counsellors, 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, in 15+ languages, and aggregate-only usage data. It's the UK's highest rated EAP on Trustpilot, used by packaging firms like Fenton Packaging and Ocean Bottle. The honest trade-off: traditional helpline EAPs are cheaper on paper, but 6 to 8 session caps and call centres keep usage at 3 to 5%.
£75 a month, whole team, no matter the size. For a packaging firm of 30, that's £2.50 per person per month for unlimited same-day therapy, seven days a week, booked privately by text from any phone. There are no lock-ins, just a rolling 30 day contract. Book a demo and we'll show you exactly what your team would get.
Spill is an EAP built around how factory teams actually work. Anyone can book a therapy session by text from their own phone, in one of 15+ languages, and see a therapist the same day, 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week. There are no session caps, no manager referrals and no forms, and the company only ever sees aggregate usage data.
It keeps small problems small. Packaging work combines high-speed lines, repetition and tight margins, and mental ill-health is already the biggest cause of long-term sickness absence in manufacturing, around 40% of cases (Make UK, 2024). With Spill, someone having a rough time texts for a session and talks to a therapist the same day, privately, instead of pushing through until it becomes an absence you have to cover.
Yes. Plenty of small firms with just a few staff use Spill. There's no minimum team size, the price is the same £75 a month for everyone, and you can be up and running in days. The rolling 30 day contract keeps it low-risk.
With over half of manufacturing workers saying they'd leave if their wellbeing wasn't supported, retention is at stake. Spill gives staff confidential, unlimited support that's easy to access, reducing mental-health absence and helping you keep experienced people.
Yes. Spill's counselling is available the same day, including evenings and weekends, because plenty of people don't work standard office hours. Our therapists are available from as early as 7am GMT to as late as 9:30pm GMT, 7 days a week, with no health assessments, waiting lists or call-backs. Employees can access support via SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams or email and book from their phone in a few clicks.
Spill offers therapy sessions in 15+ languages, so your team can speak freely with a counsellor that understands them best. Employees choose their preferred language from a drop-down when they book a session. We currently cover Armenian, Croatian, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Igbo, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, Tagalog and Ukrainian. We're adding to this list all the time, so let us know if you have a request.
Yes, Spill operates in compliance with GDPR and UK data protection law. Spill is fully secure and therapy sessions are strictly confidential. Video sessions run on an end-to-end encrypted service and all messages to and from therapists are secure. We share aggregate usage data with the company (the number of people who have used Spill) but never names. Slack and MS Teams are only portals used to sign in to our confidential platform. No session content is ever visible to them, to Spill, or to your company.
