Business Wire
TrueBlue (NYSE: TBI) announced today that it has entered into a
new business relationship with Uber Works, Inc., a subsidiary of
Uber Technologies, Inc., to bring more resources to workers.
Uber Works is a platform that connects workers with businesses
that need to fill available shifts. TrueBlue created a new business
venture called PeopleWorks to serve as an employer and payroll
service provider for workers booking jobs on the Uber Works app.
PeopleWorks’ tech-powered back office takes care of the employees’
needs throughout the employment lifecycle, including same-day
pay.
“TrueBlue has been driving digital disruption within the
staffing industry with our JobStack and Affinix offerings, and our
relationship with Uber Works is a component of that strategy,” said
Patrick Beharelle, CEO of TrueBlue. “Uber Works’ choice to work
with TrueBlue is a testament to the strength of our payroll
offering, world-class service, and decades of expertise in
on-demand staffing.”
In 2017, TrueBlue introduced its JobStack platform to connect
companies with on-demand, temporary and seasonal staff 24/7.
JobStack, which is supporting nearly 17,000 clients, fills a job
every nine seconds. JobStack will remain separate and distinct from
this new Uber Works relationship.
