InStride Honored on TIME's List of America's Top WorkTech Companies 2026
InStride, a leader in workforce development, has been named to the inaugural edition of America's Top WorkTech Companies 2026, an honor presented by TIME and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The list was announced on June 9, 2026.
"Being included in TIME's inaugural Top WorkTech Companies list is a milestone we're proud to share with the employers and learners we serve every day."
— Craig Maloney, CEO, InStrideHow the Ranking Was Built
The America's Top WorkTech Companies 2026 list recognizes companies primarily focused on developing and providing workplace-related technologies, products, or services. To compile it, Statista gathered and scrutinized data from roughly 5,000 U.S. companies through desk research, online applications, and collaborations with other data and market intelligence firms. The ranking rests on two pillars, financial strength and industry impact, with each company's scores in both dimensions combined into a single overall score. The 250 highest-scoring companies made the final list.
