Supporting Espresa with Strategic Total Rewards

Espresa is a global HR technology company that transforms workplaces with personal benefits people love. From Lifestyle Spending Accounts (LSAs) to total wellbeing, recognition, and community, Espresa empowers organizations to deliver inclusive, people-first cultures.

As Head of People, Tim Abraham leads Espresa’s internal people strategy while also helping shape the future of HR externally. With Sequoia One as a strategic partner, Tim has built a scalable, compliant, and empowering employee experience that reflects Espresa’s values and supports its growth.

The Challenge

As Espresa scaled and evolved its own HR tech platform, Tim needed a partner who could:

• Deliver competitive benefits for a globally distributed team
• Support compliance and risk management across geographies
• Provide strategic compensation insights and benchmarking
• Act as a trusted extension of a lean People team
• Enable seamless transitions as the company grows beyond PEO

Solution

Espresa partners with Sequoia One across a comprehensive suite of services, including:

• Sequoia One PEO Platform
• Benefits Advisory and Compliance Support
• Compensation Benchmarking and Strategy
• Sequoia OS™ Platform
• Employee Advocacy and Support
• Scalable Infrastructure for Growth

Tim works closely with Sequoia’s advisory team to navigate compliance, leave management, and compensation planning. As Espresa prepares to scale beyond the PEO model, Sequoia provides a seamless roadmap for continuity and growth.

Impact

Strategic Enablement. “Sequoia helps us stay competitive with comp and benefits. Their data gives us confidence in our offers and decisions.”

Scalable Infrastructure. “We’re a growing company. Sequoia One gives us the flexibility to scale — and the roadmap to transition when we’re ready.”
