In just a few short weeks, the official start of summer kicks off-yay! While the days grow longer, the season always seems to fly by. At High Level Marketing, we recognize how precious summer is, and we’re excited to announce that Summer Fridays are back for the 2025 season! We’re committed to giving our team dedicated time to step away from work and make the most of those long, sunny days.
On these dates, our team will wrap up at lunchtime, giving everyone a head start on the weekend. Plus, we’ll be closed for a full day on July 4th to extend the holiday celebration.
Summer Fridays are a cherished HLM tradition, now in its fourth year. Select Fridays throughout the summer are designated as half days, alongside a full-day closure for Independence Day. This initiative is our way of honoring our team’s hard work and encouraging well-deserved rest and relaxation.
Prioritizing well-being and work-life balance is a core value at HLM. Summer Fridays have proven to benefit not just our team, but also our clients and the broader business. When our team feels supported and refreshed, productivity rises and our workplace culture thrives. Taking care of our people means they can take even better care of our clients.
We love seeing how our team spends their extra time-whether it’s tee times on the golf course, family outings at the waterpark, or simply relaxing in the sun. Our “happenings” Slack channel is filled with stories and photos of these moments, and it’s inspiring to see everyone making the most of their summer.
The popularity of Summer Fridays has grown each year. The idea first emerged from feedback in our bi-annual employee NPS (eNPS) survey, where team members expressed a strong interest in this benefit. Leadership listened, piloted the program in 2022, and after seeing its success, made it a recurring part of our culture.
“Summer Fridays have been incredibly beneficial, they allow me to recharge and decompress after a busy week. Whether it’s spending quality time with friends, getting a jump start on a trip, or simply relaxing. These Fridays have provided a much-needed opportunity to rejuvenate and come back to work feeling more motivated and refreshed!” - Maribeth Thomas
"Unlike other companies, High Level Marketing truly embraces Summer Fridays. Summer Fridays allow me to be able to enjoy time off with family and friends, get ahead on trips, and turn what would be a normal five-day work week into something exciting because what we can look forward to on Friday." - Riley Qualls
As we gear up for another summer, we look forward to seeing how our team cherishes this extra time and prioritizes self-care. At High Level Marketing, we’re proud to offer this benefit and to foster a culture focused on well-being and balance.
Here’s to another great season of Summer Fri-yays!
