Companies pay a [subscription fee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subscriptionbased-health-service) that comes to between $1 and $2 per employee every month in order to make use of the platform, before then going ahead and selecting services to be offered to employees either on a discount or a subsidy. For example, a company could choose to provide employees with completely free massages, 50 percent off car washes and 20 percent off bicycle repair services. Companies could even take employee feedback into consideration before customizing plan offerings. By allowing companies to hand-pick the services they're willing to subsidize for employees, Espresa facilitates greater flexibility in workplace services delivery, ultimately resulting in better [work-life balance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/employee-health-benefit) for employees and a more positive work environment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Customizable Workplace Services:** Espresa allows companies to hand-pick the services they're willing to subsidize, creating a more flexible and personalized work environment. - **Employee Perk Platforms:** The rise of platforms like Espresa offers companies a convenient way to provide a wide array of workplace services to enhance employee benefits. - **Employee Feedback-based Services:** Espresa's feature of considering employee feedback when customizing plan offerings enables companies to align perks with employee preferences, increasing engagement and satisfaction. ### Where This Applies - **Human Resources:** Espresa's platform offers a valuable tool for HR departments to enhance employee benefits and wellbeing. - **Technology:** The development of customizable perk platforms like Espresa highlights the integration of technology in optimizing workplace services and employee experiences. - **Wellness Services:** Platforms like Espresa provide disruptive innovation opportunities in the wellness industry, enabling companies to offer a diverse range of services to prioritize employee wellbeing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Employee Wellness Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advantageclub.md) - [All-in-One Employee Wellness Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/employee-wellness-platform.md) - [Experiential Workplace Rewards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bondly.md) - [Experiential Corporate Gift Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corporate-gift-boxes.md) - [Corporate Spend Management Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doordash-for-business.md) - [Digital Loyalty Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brew-perks.md) - [Personalized Wellness Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/precision-health-platform.md) - [Employee Recognition Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-employee-engagement-platform.md) - [Workplace Financial Wellness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workplace-financial-wellness-tool.md)
