When a system goes down, you bring in IT support.
When a supply chain is at risk, you call in external partners.
When finances need clarity, you hire independent auditors.
Businesses trust independent support in almost every critical area, except when it comes to the people holding everything together.
The Cost of Overlooking People
Poor mental health costs UK employers £51 billion a year (Deloitte, 2024).
Stress, depression, and anxiety account for approximately half of reported ill health. (HSE report 2024)
Workplace sickness now costs UK businesses more than £100 billion annually. (Analyst IPPR, 2024)
Every resignation, every absence, every silent burnout chips away at performance. Just one person carrying on until they can’t anymore affects a whole team.
The Human Supply Chain
Businesses already know that resilience matters. They invest in robust systems and backup plans. But the human supply chain is just as fragile.
One long-term absence. One key resignation. One disengaged team.
That’s why independent support for people matters. It strengthens the culture and resilience of your workforce in the same way IT support strengthens your systems.
Why EAPs Aren’t Enough
Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) are valuable, with uptake now over 12% (UK Employer Assistant Professional Association). However, alternative support is also required for employees who are hesitant to share their personal struggles over a phone line or app.
RTSC fills this gap with visible, trusted, on-site support that people use before small challenges turn into big problems.
What RTSC Brings
At Road to Success Consultancy (RTSC), we provide independent, on-site support that is
Confidential - Employees know it won’t impact their job
Practical - It’s not therapy, not a tick-box, but timely, grounded support
Safeguarding aware - Independent but aligned with your legal duty of care. When someone needs more than we can offer, we signpost to trusted external services.
Balanced - We protect individual confidentiality while acting responsibly when safeguarding concerns arise.
Accessible - We show up where people work with no apps or barriers.
We meet people early, before challenges become costly problems.
Early Support Saves More Than Money
For every £1 invested in employee well-being, businesses see an average return of £5 through reduced absence and improved retention (Deloitte, 2024).
Independent support isn’t just about preventing a crisis. It’s about creating everyday spaces where people feel safe, valued, and able to perform.
When employees thrive, businesses benefit with
Stronger retention
Reduced absence
Healthier workplace culture
