Espresa Outlines Gift Card Marketplaces and Employee Reward Programmes

Espresa has outlined how an integrated marketplace can support gift cards and other employee rewards. In a guide published on November 1, 2025, the company places marketplace redemption alongside peer recognition, lifestyle spending accounts and non-monetary appreciation.

The guide recommends beginning with employee feedback rather than selecting one reward format for everyone. It suggests asking whether employees want tools for sending appreciation messages, small monetary awards or other benefits, then using that feedback with the organisation’s own programme goals.

For teams operating across countries, Espresa highlights the administrative work created by different languages and currencies. It describes an integrated marketplace of gift cards, branded merchandise and experiences as one way to organise those choices, and refers to a selection of more than 200 vendors in its offering.
