Do you know why and how oysters make pearls?
When irritants—like grains of sand—make their way inside the shell, oysters will create a protective coating of nacre around it to reduce irritation. Layers upon layers of nacre will eventually create an iridescent gem called a pearl.
When launching new features, we take the same approach. We explore the biggest “irritants” to global employment and buff out the problem areas to make them smooth like pearls. (We’re called Oyster for a reason!)
So if you’re an HR or People Ops leader looking for help on:

Global employment doesn’t just mean hiring and paying folks around the world. To Oyster, an imperative piece of the puzzle is caring for your international team. This plays a key role in employee recruitment, satisfaction, and retention.
One way to care for your team is through benefits packages. But for global teams, the question is: How do we define “care” around the world? Get answers using Oyster’s Benefits Advisor and Remote Work Regulations Guide.
As you can imagine, what “care” means to your distributed team will vary for each employee. One may define it as extensive healthcare benefits, while another may want more time off or a bigger wellness budget.
Your employees’ expectations heavily depend on where they live and what they’re used to—which means one-size-fits-all benefits packages aren’t enough.
Now you may ask: Where do we start with creating competitive localized benefits packages?
Our recommendation? Skip the lengthy calls with local benefits advisors and down-the-rabbit-hole Google searches, and use Oyster’s Benefits Advisor instead.
It equips you with a list of statutory, basic, good, and best-in-class benefits based on what companies in the top eight hiring locations offer and local benefits advisors recommend. Now, you not only know how to meet employee expectations, but also exceed them—a major advantage for attracting and retaining top talent.
Oyster’s Benefits Advisor is perfect for: Global HR and People Ops leaders who want to level up their global employment by offering localized healthcare, time off, wellness perks, and allowances.
When creating benefits packages for international teams, remote work adds extra layers of complexity—so much so that we created an entire guide dedicated to it.
Why? As more and more companies adopt distributed work models, countries worldwide are implementing statutory remote work regulations. With compliance in the picture, it’s essential to have country-specific information that’s up to date to avoid legal risks.
