If trying to create a new agency model why end up with the same three pillars of account service, strategy and creativity.
Is it really an agencies (or any employers) role to help its people get the most out of life rather than just their work?
Bullfrog seem to be doing well. Good luck to them.
The whole concept of being able to achieve work/life balance is flawed. There is no life without work (income).
There is a reason there is a strong correlation between mental health issues and unemployment. If you’re not fulfilled in your work, you’ll never be fulfilled in your life.
Those who complain about the lack of work/life balance are typically more unsatisfied with their life thank work itself, but don’t want to admit it. Work purely becomes an easy place to project blame.
