Stride

Today, we’re thrilled to announce that we’re expanding our portable benefits suite with a first-of-its-kind innovation, Stride Save, to help independent workers set aside money for savings and essential benefits. 💰 We’re proud to be partnering with DoorDash, the first company to launch a Benefits Savings Program with Stride Save. ⭐Stride Save empowers individuals to automate savings* for essential needs like health insurance, long-term savings, and well-deserved paid time off — all while earning 4.03%** interest. It’s free for Stride’s partners and provides a critical tool to enhance worker engagement and retention. ⭐Stride Contributions is a first-of-its-kind program that enables companies with independent workers to make contributions into an individual's portable benefits savings account, which the worker can then apply to health or other insurance coverage as well as financial benefits like emergency savings, time-off, sick leave, or long-term savings. The program is fully customizable and was designed with the goal of improving workers’ savings and retention. Stride now solves the top three benefit needs of independent workers: health coverage, tax support, AND savings — with the added support of contributions from companies. 🎉 ➡️ Read more from our CEO Noah Lang here: https://lnkd.in/g5N2CpAS #healthinsurance #gigeconomy #doordash #freelancer #creator #portablebenefits

It's a win for Rideshare and Delivery drivers in CA with the Supreme Court upholding Prop 22! This measure gives drivers financial support for health insurance and other protections, while letting them remain independent contractors and keep their freedom to choose how and when they work. If you're a CA driver and haven't taken advantage of the health insurance stipend, Stride can help you navigate your options.
