A company is only as healthy as its employees. At a time when maintaining that health takes a lot of a person’s energy, leaders cannot expect their employees to be fully dedicated to the mission without support. oysterhr.com/resources/emplo…

Are you asking your employees to come back to the office because you truly believe they’ll produce better work there? Or is it because that’s just ‘how it’s always been’? Have faith in your people.

Letting employees clock off an hour early on a Friday ≠ flexibility Beanbags in the office ≠ a solid company culture Checking up on people every 5 minutes ≠ invested management Wake up, leaders. People want true freedom and autonomy — not ping-pong tables and gimmicks.

Some reassurance for anyone who needs it: Not all employers will force you to work from an in-office location. Not all employers will micromanage. If your expectations aren’t being met, you can and will find better elsewhere.

Some things that are more important to me than work: Family My mental health and wellbeing The mental health and well-being of others Quality of life These are key for most others — which is why we've built a culture at @HeyOyster to allow people to prioritise them.

In light of recent events, I’d like to make it clear that @HeyOyster holds no funds with Silicon Valley Bank. However, we understand that some of our customers were affected. For any customers facing ongoing issues, please reach out to our team 👇 bit.ly/3Jj9qCr

Emotional safety at work is important and something that leaders often overlook. Ultimately, leadership is about creating connections with people – and in order to do that effectively, people need to feel safe and comfortable.

3 in 4 Londoners would rather quit than give up WFH 🤯 With the rising cost of living coupled with the hassle of commuting — who can blame them? The proof is in the pudding 🤷‍♂️ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Do you think America’s offices are going to get any fuller? 🤔 According to @KastleSystems, 50% of American employees are now back in the office compared to pre-pandemic levels. But many experts don’t see it getting any higher than that 👇 washingtonpost.com/business/…

One of the most important objectives in my life is to be present for my children, in a way that is without interruption. As a CEO of a company whose mission I believe in – I am proof that this doesn’t have to be at the cost of making priceless memories with family ❤️

I don’t care when you log in. I don’t care if you work from a cafe, the park or your bathroom floor. I don’t care if you stop working for a few hours to rejuvenate. What I do care about is making that mission as achievable as possible for every employee.

Hearing unique stories of how distributed work has changed people's lives is truly humbling. It's what wakes me up every morning. What a journey it's been this year ❤️

I’d like to wish everyone a happy holiday season.  Whether you’re visiting family, friends or maybe spending the time alone – I hope you are safe, secure and content ❤️ Happy holidays to one and all! 🎉

The intersection of technology and impact is where we find the most opportunity for the future of work.
