We are looking for employers who actually look after their people
so we can shout about them.
Is your company one that understands healthy, supported employees do their best work?
Brilliant. You are exactly who we are after.
Give your team easy access to qualified therapy, cover at least 40% of the cost through MatchyMatch, and become one of the UK employers we champion as a genuine example of workplace wellbeing done right.
Why do we only work with switched-on employers?
Because they already know these 5 truths:
In short: yes, it genuinely pays off.
You spend less on hiring and replacing leavers, see fewer last-minute sick days, fewer health crises, stronger retention and a credible employer brand - exactly what matters when you want to grow a team and a business in a healthy way.
Truth #1: the ROI is real, not just PR
A meta-analysis across 19 employers found that every £1 invested in mental health support saves around £2.30 in total healthcare costs. The programme you fund today reduces tomorrow's health bill.

Once you factor in sick days, presenteeism and staff turnover, Deloitte UK finds every £1 spent on mental health returns around £5.30. The simpler the rollout and the higher the uptake, the better that return gets.

Nearly half of employees would accept a lower salary for a healthier place to work. Picture how much stronger your employer brand becomes when you offer real, funded mental health support.

3 in 4 employees see mental health as crucial at work. It is no longer a nice-to-have, it is expected. Employers who get this will have the edge over those still treating the subject as taboo.

The HSE expects UK employers to assess and manage work-related stress under the Management Standards, and prevention is becoming the norm. Proactive employers will be ready; reactive ones will be caught on the back foot.
