Supporting your team’s mental health is about more than policies, it’s about how you lead every day. By encouraging open conversations, offering flexibility, recognising workload pressures, building connection, and investing in wellbeing initiatives, you can create a workplace where your staff feel valued, supported, and able to thrive.

Supporting your team’s mental health doesn’t have to mean locking into costly contracts or paying for services your staff may never use. For many small to medium businesses, a pay-per-use Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers the flexibility, affordability, and impact they’re looking for. At Creating Change Psychology, we’ve seen firsthand how this model gives employers confidence and staff the right support at the right time without the waste.
Take Sophie, a small business owner. When one of her team began struggling with anxiety during a busy period, she wanted to help. With a pay-per-use EAP option, her staff member accessed psychological support quickly. The result? A calmer, more focused employee and a business owner who felt supported too.
Pay-per-use EAPs create a win–win: staff get the care they need, and businesses stay in control of their resources.
