Beyond Bloc: Promoting a healthy work-life balance

Breaking tech company stereotypes, we're highlighting the diverse hobbies and interests that our fellow Blocees enjoy outside of work.

Now we know what you’re thinking… yes, some of the staff are hardcore gamers, switching from work mode to gaming mode, racking up screen time that's probably best left undisclosed...

BUT we do also enjoy other activities too… rest assured, we're not all about gaming although we're pretty damn good at it!

Did you know that our motion graphics expert, Steph, does horseback archery in her spare time? Or that our animation studio manager, Sean, plays guitar in a rock band? Or that our 3D Generalist, Brandon is a National swimming champion and holds British records for 50m breaststroke!
A healthy work-life balance will mean different things to us all. It’s not so much about splitting your time 50/50 between work and leisure but making sure you feel fulfilled and content in both areas of your life. It can be easy to normalise working long hours or being under stress, especially if we’ve been doing it for a long time or all our colleagues are in the same boat. Our assumptions and habits around work can become deep-rooted unless we take a step back once in a while. Remember, you don’t have to make yourself miserable to be successful."
