At Switchee, wellbeing is an integral part of our overall mission to improve the lives of people living in rented accommodation, that extends to our employees and their mental health.
We partnered with Spill in 2020, amidst the Covid-19 lockdown, to support our employees mental health and empower them to talk about mental health and challenge the stigma that still exists in workplaces even today. With Spill integrated into Slack, our employees have easy, uninterrupted access to mental health support from qualified therapists. As an extra benefit, Spill enables our people managers - especially those new to the role - better support our employees and their mental health. Additionally, Spill provides valuable metrics on employee wellbeing and enables us to create a safe environment for our employees to thrive.
Switchee has been a remote-first business since its inception in 2014; the challenges that come with remote working are not new to us. With Spill, we are better equipped to address any mental health challenges employees may face, in and out of the office.
As a scaling business, the support that is provided by Spill to employees is evidenced by their feedback:
“It is always good to know there is someone you can talk to, without prejudice or judgement. I suspect that it is easier to talk to someone you don't know - it's a great tool to have access to”
“It was really helpful to get feedback about how to be a good manager. The link to the transactional analysis video was so insightful.”
“Wonderful. Came away feeling that I have some good coping mechanisms.”
“It was very helpful and good to be able to talk about what's going on with me. Tony was really understanding & compassionate.”
We are very proud to be one of the Spill customers with the highest engagement rate on the platform. It is a great achievement to have embedded a Mental Health Support system that people find easy to use. We thank Spill for their fantastic therapists and their platform!
