Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for ux / product design agencies
Your team spends all day designing calm, intuitive experiences for other people, inside workdays that are anything but. Client politics, research deadlines and constant context-switching between projects leave UX and product designers running on fumes. Spill gives design and research teams unlimited counselling with same-day availability, booked through Slack, MS Teams, SMS or email. It costs £75 a month for the whole team, on a rolling 30 day contract.

Why UX agency work drains people
35% of agency staff feel unable to discuss mental wellness at work, according to NABS All Ears, 2023. In UX and product design agencies, where the job is literally understanding how people think and feel, that gap between what teams practise and what they experience is hard to ignore.
Considered leaving
64% of advertising and media workers have considered leaving the industry because work harmed their wellbeing. (NABS & Mind)
Stigma persists

What design agencies get from Spill
Design agencies sell clear thinking, and clear thinking needs well people. Spill keeps researchers and designers supported through heavy project loads, which protects quality, client relationships and your ability to keep senior talent.
