## Request a team offsite
Our goal is for each team at Fleet to conduct an offsite once per year. Team offsites provide valuable opportunities for the team to build greater cohesion, align on strategic objects for the coming year, and get to know each other outside of work. Offsites help build trust, which is the foundation of a highly functional team.
