Case Study: Akamai Technologies scales global employee engagement with Espresa

Akamai Technologies boosts community engagement with Espresa, driving 2,500+ memberships

Akamai Technologies, a global technology company with a distributed workforce, faced the challenge of connecting its employees and delivering consistent wellness and engagement programs globally, especially as flexible and remote work became the norm. They turned to the vendor Espresa and its platform to unify their disconnected employee programs into one centralized experience.

Espresa provided a unified platform that brought together Akamai's employee resource groups (ERGs), challenges, wellness reimbursements, and events into a single visible destination. This solution significantly increased participation and scaled engagement globally. The measurable results included over 2,500 community memberships, the formation of 122 challenge teams, and the fact that approximately 69% of community members also joined challenges, demonstrating increased cross-program engagement.
