Cachet and Taskrabbit Partner to Redefine Gig Worker Insurance Across Europe
Gig Workers Across Europe Gain Access to New Financial Security
Gig workers across Europe are gaining access to a new level of financial security, thanks to a partnership between Cachet, a leading designer of personalised gig economy insurance, and Taskrabbit, the marketplace that connects people who need help around the home with skilled Taskers from their local communities.
A custom insurance package will be introduced across six European countries, offering Taskers protection tailored to the flexible nature of the platform lifestyle. Taskrabbit Taskers, who enjoy the freedom to choose how, when and where they work, will now have the additional security of a coverage plan that adapts as they do.
Cachet and Taskrabbit Partner Up
The Tasker-Customised Insurance Package debuts in Europe today, locking in financial security and peace of mind for Taskers. Hedi Mardisoo, CEO of Cachet, expressed her excitement about the partnership, noting that “Taskrabbit is a pioneer in the platform economy, and together with our partner Hiscox insurance we’re enabling a solution that mirrors the flexibility and dynamism of the gig economy. Taskers can choose how and when they work, with the financial security they need to thrive.”
She added, “We are proud to add Taskrabbit to our growing community of platforms using Cachet’s technology to enable the platform economy lifestyle.”
Meeting the Evolving Needs of Taskers
The new insurance package ensures Taskers are protected against income loss due to accidents, compensated for family or compassionate leave, and supported long-term for partial or total disablement during tasks. It’s a comprehensive solution that guarantees Taskers can maintain their work freedom while enjoying strong financial protection.
This sentiment was echoed by Begüm Zarmann, Managing Director Europe at Taskrabbit, who emphasized the importance of responding to Tasker feedback, saying “It’s of utmost importance for Taskrabbit to cater to the evolving needs of our Taskers across European markets. As a direct result of feedback we received from Taskers on how we could improve their experience”
She further highlighted how this initiative will support Taskers’ flexibility and independence both at work and in their personal lives. Stating that “Taskrabbit is thrilled to launch this partnership with Cachet to expand the way we care for our ever-growing community, including supporting Taskers’ flexibility and independence at work and in their personal lives.”
Empowering Gig Workers Across Europe
As the gig economy continues to evolve, partnerships like that between Cachet and Taskrabbit are essential in empowering workers to embrace flexibility without compromising their financial security. With this new insurance package, Taskers across Europe can focus on what they do best—helping their communities—while knowing they have a safety net in place to protect their livelihoods. This is just the beginning of a new era in gig worker support, and Cachet is proud to be at the forefront of that change.
