Why Wakawai

We build company culture where people find meaning

Companies want to develop their people and culture and strengthen engagement. Nonprofits are also looking for stable partners for their mission. At Wakawai we connect these worlds into one clear ecosystem.

Instead of isolated perks and one-off team-building events, we create a year-round environment for wellbeing, growth and team belonging. We give HR and People & Culture leaders a tool that turns passive employees into active creators of company culture.

Our story

From CSR and positive impact to engagement and company culture

  1. 1

    Connecting companies and nonprofits

    The original Wakawai connected the worlds of nonprofits and companies. One side gained support, expertise and partners, the other a meaningful way to involve its people in activities with a wider purpose.

  2. 2

    A positive impact on the companies themselves

    It soon turned out that working with nonprofits doesn't just have an external impact. It also has a positive effect inside the company: on relationships between people, a sense of purpose, pride, loyalty and overall engagement.

  3. 3

    A platform for developing company culture

    The original idea grew into a platform for working with culture and people's engagement. Wakawai now helps companies move from passive perks to systematic, data-backed work with people.

  4. 4

    Healthier, stronger companies and society

    Our goal is for companies to work better on the inside, so they can have a positive effect on the outside too: on their people, teams, communities, nonprofit partners and the wider world.

What we believe

Healthy company culture isn't built on slides, but in a team's everyday life

A daily habit, not a once-a-year event

Culture isn't built by a one-off team-building day. It's made of small, regular activities people take part in all year round.

Intrinsic motivation instead of passive perks

Perks alone aren't enough. People need real meaning, community and trust in their own ideas and initiative.

From dead data to real action

Surveys and charts won't solve the problem. Turn data into concrete steps that move your company culture forward.

Room for growth, wellbeing and giving back

Give people room to look after themselves, grow professionally, build relationships with colleagues and make a positive impact through their work.

Insight for HR, team leads and leadership

See at a glance which activities really engage the team, where energy is growing and which initiatives fizzle out.

Values that don't stay on the wall

Real company culture isn't in an HR presentation, but in your people's everyday actions, habits and shared experiences.
