Introducing the 2024 Instawork Best Place for Flexible Work Awards

At Instawork, we empower businesses and hourly workers by connecting them through a flexible and efficient platform, creating economic opportunities to ensure they can thrive. We have always been champions for businesses that recognize the value of flexible workers, continuously seeking innovative ways to support and celebrate their contributions. This is especially important as the hourly workforce is the fastest-growing segment of the American labor market, with more than 80 million hourly workers ensuring that almost every industry runs smoothly. For over 75% of flexible workers who are the sole earners in their households, the ability to choose when and how to work is particularly motivating. 

We also recognize that staffing a business, meeting customer demand, and taking care of a growing team is hard work and we want to celebrate when businesses and hourly workers come together in a meaningful way. This not only improves a business’ daily operations and can greatly impact the daily lives of those workers who pick up shifts.

With that in mind, we’re excited to recognize businesses for their hard work in taking care of both their operations and the hourly workers who make it all possible. The first-ever Best Places for Flexible Work awards celebrate businesses that have made significant contributions to creating an adaptable and supportive work environment.
