Who we are: our history | Epassi Italy

For over twenty years, we’ve done one thing: employee benefits people actually use.

We are employee benefits specialists by nature. We start from the needs of the people who work, to build benefits they choose and use with ease, in companies of every size.

Three principles, one way of doing employee benefits.

Benefits people actually use

The effectiveness of an employee benefits program is measured by usage: with Epassi, 94% of the budget is spent within the availability period.

The right benefits for every company

From SMEs to large enterprises: gift cards, meal vouchers and corporate benefits plans. Different solutions for different organizations and needs.

Benefits that evolve

Needs, technology and organizations change, and so do we: an app in constant evolution and Eppy, the benefits coach who guides every employee. Simpler for the people who use it, lighter for HR.

THE ROOTS: ITALIAN LEADERSHIP AND NORDIC INNOVATION

Epassi Italia was born from the convergence of leading companies in their respective markets, united by a single goal: to evolve the concept of wellness in the company and transform the way companies take care of their people.

Our story begins in 2002 with Eudaimon, the first reality to structure corporate welfare in Italy. In more than two decades it has become the point of reference in our country, building the most comprehensive proposal of services for large companies, SMEs, employer associations and unions.

In parallel, in Helsinki, the Epassi Group was founded in 2007, today the European leader in digital solutions for employee benefits delivery and twice awarded by the Financial Times as one of the fastest growing companies in Europe.

AN ECOSYSTEM EMPOWERED BY TECHNOLOGY

The merger of Eudaimon 's consulting legacy and Epassi 's technology infrastructure creates a unique hub in the market. We no longer offer individual services, but a complete ecosystem, amplified by technology, to provide companies and individuals with increasingly effective solutions and an unprecedented wellness experience.
