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 ā€˜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.

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.

Do you think America’s offices are going to get any fuller? šŸ¤” 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 šŸ‘‡ 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 ā¤ļø

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.
