FAQs
How is this different from Oyster’s standard HR support?
HR support is included for employees hired through Oyster’s EOR. People Partner Services extends Oyster’s expert HR support to your entire global workforce, including employees hired through your own entities, and offers deeper, project-based advisory and execution support.
What types of HR issues can People Partner Services support?
People Partner Services can support a wide range of global HR needs, including:
- Market entry and expansion considerations
- Global HR guidance and soundboard
- Multi-country policy and process design
- Performance management and employee relations
- Terminations, investigations, and sensitive people matters
- Burnout leave, and wellbeing-related situations
Can you support situations with employees who are not hired through Oyster?
Yes. People Partner Services supports any employee, regardless of whether they are hired through Oyster, your own local entities, or other employment models.
Do you provide legal advice?
People Partner Services provides practical HR guidance grounded in local employment practices, not formal legal advice. We aim to help teams make informed decisions and often reduce the need for legal escalation.
Who will I work with?
All projects are led by Oyster’s in-house senior HR experts with deep, real-world experience across multiple countries. You work directly with experienced professionals—not junior consultants or outsourced providers.
How is People Partner Services priced?
The service is billed at $300 per hour, with project-based pricing and no minimum commitment. You only pay for the support you need.
