Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for research & market intelligence firms
When was the last time your researchers had a project without a compressed timeline? Fieldwork slips, clients want the debrief early anyway, and analysis marathons swallow the weekend. Spill gives research teams a proper release valve: same-day therapy with top 5% counsellors, fully confidential with no referral step, for £75 a month across the whole company.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

The hidden cost of always-on research work
Turnover in professional, scientific and technical activities runs at around 30% a year (CIPD / ONS, 2024), and research firms sit right in that churn. Fieldwork deadlines that can't move, clients who want answers yesterday and analysis marathons before every debrief make it a demanding place to work well.
Long hours
77% of UK consultants work more than their contracted hours, an average of 9.3 extra unpaid hours a week. (Consultancy.uk)
Always-on exhaustion
Around half of professionals always or often feel exhausted (52%) or stressed (49%). (Deloitte, 2024)
A stressed workforce
91% of UK adults faced high or extreme pressure or stress in the past year. (Mental Health UK, 2026)
Why research firms bring in Spill
Insight work depends on clear heads, and clear heads don't survive endless crunch. Spill helps your researchers stay sharp through deadline season and gives you a retention edge in a sector where people move often.
