How We Keep Our Culture Strong at ThrottleNet

At ThrottleNet, we understand that a strong culture doesn’t happen by chance—it’s the result of intentional planning, consistent feedback, and a clear commitment to valuing people as much as performance. While our clients depend on us for reliable IT solutions, we know that maintaining a connected, motivated team is the foundation that makes that possible.

Here’s how we approach culture with purpose and consistency.

Monthly Team Lunches

Once a month, we host a team lunch to recognize birthdays and milestones across the company. It’s a recurring opportunity for employees across departments to pause, share a meal, and stay connected. In an environment where responsiveness and efficiency are critical, we make time to reinforce a sense of team unity outside of day-to-day operations.

A Little Friendly Competition

When the weather cooperates, you’ll sometimes find a group outside playing a casual game of PIG. What started as a ordinary break-time activity has grown into an informal tradition—complete with a trophy that passes to the current champ. It’s a small detail, but one that reflects how we balance professionalism with camaraderie.

Quarterly Events and the Nerd Herd

We also organize quarterly events to keep morale high and encourage cross-team engagement. One of our most popular traditions is the Nerd Herd, an annual golf tournament open to the entire company. It’s a relaxed, team-building experience that’s become a signature part of our internal culture. Other quarterly events rotate—ranging from trivia nights to offsite activities—and are designed to provide a reset, encourage conversation, and build rapport outside the office.

Friday Breakfasts

Every Friday begins with a company-provided breakfast. It’s a small but consistent gesture that helps bring people together and close the week on a positive note. It also serves as a touchpoint where newer team members can feel more engaged, and long-time employees can reconnect outside of formal meetings.

Employee Feedback That Drives Real Decisions

We regularly conduct internal surveys to gauge team sentiment and identify areas for improvement. These are more than check-ins—they’re structured to surface actionable insights that inform leadership decisions. Whether it’s related to tools, workloads, or internal communication, employee input plays a direct role in shaping our environment and processes.

A strong culture isn’t defined by a single initiative—it’s the result of steady, thoughtful efforts to support your team. At ThrottleNet, we view culture not as an add-on, but as a strategic investment. By maintaining open communication, prioritizing recognition, and making space for team connection, we’ve built an environment that supports both high performance and long-term employee engagement.
