Introducing Filet Fridays at Sockeye: A Day for Growth, Connection, and Collaboration
At Sockeye, we believe in continuous learning, meaningful connections, and giving our employees the tools they need to thrive. That’s why we’ve introduced Filet Fridays—a dedicated day for training, collaboration, and personal growth. Taking place on the fifth Friday of the month (which happens quarterly), this initiative provides time and space for organization, learning, and team-building across departments.
How it Works
Each Filet Friday includes a variety of sessions designed to enhance productivity, encourage learning, and build connections. Here’s what’s on the agenda:
- Cleanup Time – Organize digital and physical workspaces, clear emails, and file important documents.
- Time-Zone Connection – A casual meet-up with colleagues in the same time zone
- Small Team Huddles – Dedicated time for smaller teams to check in or train together.
- Department Training – Skill-building sessions specific to each team.
- Breakout Sessions – Work-focused or just-for-fun learning opportunities, sometimes featuring guest speakers.
- Company-Wide Training – Large group sessions on business-relevant topics.
- Beyond the Pond Team Building – Fun games and activities.
- Reflection Session – Time to share takeaways and plan for next quarter’s development goals.
The Bigger Picture
By providing structured time for learning, organization, and connection, we ensure that our team members have the tools, knowledge, and support they need to grow—both professionally and personally. Want to learn more about what makes Sockeye’s company culture unique? Check it out here.
