Design seamlessly with Canva, importing visuals directly into HoneyBook's Template and Smart File Library.
Streamline client collaboration with Zoom, an AI-first work platform, bringing meeting capabilities directly into HoneyBook workflows.

Additionally, HoneyBook continues to support seamless connectivity with QuickBooks, Calendly, Acuity Scheduling, and Zapier, ensuring businesses can tailor workflows to their specific needs.
"Business is chaotic. The last thing you need is clunky tools that don't talk to each other. Our HoneyBook integration just works—client relationships and email marketing, seamlessly together. No hassle. No wasted time," said Martha Bitar, co-founder and CEO of Flodesk. "HoneyBook gets it. They care about great design. They put customers first. That's why this partnership makes sense."
With over 25 million client relationships and more than $12 billion in processed payments, HoneyBook continues to drive efficiency, revenue growth, and client satisfaction for its members. The company remains committed to expanding its ecosystem to meet the evolving needs of independent business owners.

InStride Redefines Workforce Development Through Strategic Expansion
Empowering businesses with strategic education and skilling solutions that unlock career advancement and organizational impact LOS ANGELES, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InStride, a leading provider of strategic education and skilling solutions, today announced continued growth, accelerated by its new and transformative approach to workforce development. Recently named by TIME and Statista as one of the World's Top EdTech Companies of 2025, InStride has advanced its offerings to address critical talent challenges through education and skilling solutions designed to be career-aligned, industry-relevant, and tailored to its corporate partners' needs. In partnership with some of the most influential organizations in the Fortune 250, InStride provides nearly one million eligible employees access to over 2,500 education opportunities, helping prevent $73 million in student loan debt to date. 'Education benefits have come a long way from basic tuition reimbursement,' said Craig Maloney, CEO of InStride. 'We've reimagined them as strategic levers for HR teams to attract and retain talent, upskill their workforce, fill critical roles, and ensure their people are ready for what's next. Over the past six years, we've built programs that address such challenges and have seen the difference they can make for people and businesses alike.' Each of the following innovations was designed to make strategic education solutions more relevant, flexible, and effective—for the people using them and the companies supporting them. Award-winning, expanded offerings A broader, more flexible learning networkGone are the days of a one-size-fits-all workforce development. InStride's expanding portfolio of 2,500+ educational offerings with leading universities, such as Arizona State University, creates flexible pathways aligned with workforce demands. Formats include English-language programs, specialized healthcare certifications, and stackable credentials, all tailored to how people learn and grow. Career Education PathsInStride's award-winning Career Education Paths connect learning directly to career outcomes, increasing program completion rates. Honored by Fast Company and EdTech Breakthrough Awards, these structured paths are designed using Lightcast to map learning to 40+ specific roles across technology, healthcare, and corporate services. The result: higher engagement and a reliable pipeline of skilled talent. Dependent education benefitsInStride enables businesses to extend education benefits to employees' dependents. This allows employees at participating companies to use their benefits for spouses and children who gain access to career-aligned courses, certifications, and degrees, which enhances employee loyalty and retention as workers feel a deeper commitment to companies investing in their families. In turn, dependent benefits create a ripple effect beyond the workplace, helping to uplift communities by expanding access to education and opportunity for future generations. Supporting a skills-first approachInStride helps companies build talent strategies grounded in employee skills and capabilities. This includes helping companies identify the skills needed for key roles, map career paths, and uncover gaps between the skills employees have and the ones their businesses need. With that foundation in place, companies can make more informed hiring and promotion decisions—and use targeted learning programs to help employees build the skills to grow into critical roles. Pioneering, scalable, customizable solutions Hybrid clinical cohortsHealthcare systems can't rely solely on external hiring. InStride's hybrid clinical cohorts address staffing shortages in healthcare by combining online coursework with in-hospital training. With structured learning models to boost completion rates, they create pathways to in-demand roles like medical assistants, surgical technologists, and clinical lab specialists. This empowers employers to develop talent from within, which has proven to reduce staffing shortages and improve career mobility for existing employees. Industry-first franchise workforce education modelInStride's hub-and-spoke franchise education model allows franchisees to opt into and manage corporate education programs while customizing them for their workforce, providing centralized tracking and reporting tools for improved oversight. This balance between corporate structure and local flexibility helps franchise businesses retain and develop talent while maintaining a consistent workforce strategy. This approach has delivered impressive results, with over 50% of franchisees at one partner adopting the program in its first year and achieving a one-third higher retention rate for participating employees compared to non-participants. Custom solutions for accelerated capability buildingTo help businesses build specialized professional skill sets, InStride introduced Capability Accelerators, which provide custom academies tailored for specific roles including first-line managers, manufacturing and healthcare leaders; cohort-based learning with applied, real-world training featuring expert coaching and AI-enhanced tools; and university-backed content that blends academic insights with practical, job-relevant learning. 'We remain committed to building solutions that meet real workforce needs,' said Craig Maloney, CEO of InStride. He says of the company's future development: 'We're now investing more in AI that truly transforms individual careers and organizational success. We always start with our partners' business goals in mind—and by intelligently analyzing employee data like job roles, skills, and aspirations, we're better able to connect talent to the right education opportunities and personalized coaching support. That precision is what drives meaningful outcomes.'InStride solves corporate talent challenges with strategic education and skilling solutions. By breaking down barriers to learning, fostering career growth aligned with organizational goals, and simplifying program management, InStride delivers lasting impact. Partnering with forward-thinking companies like Labcorp, Adidas, and SSM Health, InStride drives meaningful social and business outcomes by providing access to life-changing education.

Bermuda International Long Term Insurers and Reinsurers (BILTIR) Enlists Oliver Wyman to Analyse Systemic Risk in Region with New Report
HAMILTON, Bermuda, June 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bermuda International Long Term Insurers and Reinsurers (BILTIR) today announced the release of a new report, titled Analysis of Systemic Risk in the Bermuda Long-Term Insurance Sector, published by Oliver Wyman through BILTIR's commissioning. Using Oliver Wyman's independent research and a variety of data sources, the report concludes that Bermuda's long-term (re)insurance sector does not meaningfully contribute to global systemic risk. "Amid questions about systemic risk within the Bermuda (re)insurance sector, BILTIR engaged experts at Oliver Wyman to conduct an independent examination of the industry and regulatory environment within our jurisdiction," said Suzanne Williams-Charles, CEO of BILTIR. "Bermuda's system is in place to manage risk and protect policyholders, and this report verifies that Bermuda's diligent regulatory framework is effectively limiting any potential for systemic risk." The report evaluated three hypothetical scenarios frequently cited by regulators to question whether activities in the (re)insurance sector could trigger systemic risk. Specifically, Oliver Wyman analysed: Credit crisis triggering mass reinsurance capture Confidence shock triggering a mass lapse and sale of assets Withdrawal of insurer private credit demand The report concludes that safeguards are in place to limit regulatory risk, including regulatory requirements and market practices. Additionally, it finds that the inherent long-term nature of insurance liabilities effectively limits the potential consequences of any stress on the broader financial system. The report also provides recommendations to enhance stakeholders' abilities to analyse and evaluate the potential risks within Bermuda. These recommendations include increased public transparency on transactions, ongoing regulatory oversight, and risk-based understanding of asset and liability portfolios. Oliver Wyman maintained strict editorial control over the paper and developed its own conclusions from its analysis. Find the full report here.
