Work-Life Balance
Accept & Proceed operates a 9-Day Fortnight (every other Friday off, for nurture or to explore) with usual hours of 9.30-6pm. Verbatim from a current JD: "9-Day Fortnight (every other Friday off, for nurture or to explore), with usual hours of 9.30-6pm, trialing hybrid working with everyone in the office Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday."
The framing — "for nurture or to explore" — captures the studio's philosophy that creative time outside work feeds back into creative work.
