The Future of Work
We’re putting people in the driver’s seat when it comes to how and when they work.
Our Commitments

Choice
We believe workers should be able to work when, how, and for however long they want.
Security

Our Vision for a New Benefits Framework
Portable
Benefits should be connected to the individual so workers can move from platform to platform without interruption or loss of funding.
Proportional
Benefits like healthcare stipends and access to PTO/leave should be available in proportion to how much workers choose to work.
Flexible
Allow workers to choose the benefits they want or need, accounting for the different ways people work with app-based platforms like DoorDash.
