On the third Friday of every month, a LinkedIn employee somewhere around the world may be telling young adults to call their parents or help pay for a wedding at city hall. Maybe they’re volunteering at their child’s school or with their favorite charity.
These Fridays are called InDays. Each month has a theme chosen by someone on the executive team, and employees have that day to focus on transforming themselves, their team, the company or the world with that theme in mind, said Nina McQueen, vice president of global benefits and employee experience at LinkedIn. Five people run the program globally for the 30 countries in which LinkedIn has offices, and 240 “culture champions” help manage it in individual locations.
