Now, customers are also looking for a seamlessly integrated and customised payroll without sacrificing compliance, reliability, or a delightful user experience.

DoorDash is the first to pilot Portable Benefits Savings Program For Dashers in PennsylvaniaSAN FRANCISCO, April 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Stride , the pioneer in portable benefits technology, announced the launch of its Stride Contributions program alongside the program's first client DoorDash. The first-of-its-kind program 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. Stride's platform now solves for the top three benefit needs of independent workers: health coverage, tax support and savings — with the added support of contributions from companies."DoorDash's new pilot program for Pennsylvania Dashers is a positive step forward, as it can give Pennsylvania workers greater access to benefits," said Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania. "My Administration looks forward to seeing the results of this program, and we will continue working to protect and expand the rights of all workers in Pennsylvania."The new Stride Contributions program is designed to help companies provide tailored benefits programs to independent contractors in a variety of regulatory environments, while putting the power in the hands of individual workers to allocate those funds towards their own unique set of benefits. DoorDash is the first company to use Stride Contributions, and the program is built to serve the needs of workers who also work on multiple platforms.Stride also introduced Stride Save*, available exclusively through workforce partners, expanding Stride's benefits suite to now include savings-related benefits, in addition to supporting this burgeoning workforce's most complex insurance and tax needs. Stride Save acts as an individual benefits account that any company or individual can contribute to, offering personalized financial guidance to help workers allocate those contributions across savings and insurance benefits.Story continues"Along with our long-term partner DoorDash and Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro, we've delivered a breakthrough moment for independent workers," said Noah Lang, CEO and co-founder of Stride

Going beyond stats to look at culture is key, said Joan Lau, CEO of Spirovant Sciences, a University City-based life sciences company that is developing gene therapies for cystic fibrosis. She doesn’t pay much attention to data about underrepresented founders, she said. Instead, it’s better to focus on what you can do to create inclusive environments. “I think about … how can we create an environment?,” Lau said. “How can I help, and then how can our team help, create an environment where we acknowledge those [disparities]
