Workplace Policy

Our hybrid model

The Headquarter works on a hybrid model. The best ideas happen when producers, creators, media buyers and event crew are in the same room, so we spend most of our week together, with flexibility for focused remote work.

• Our work week runs Saturday to Thursday. Friday is the weekly holiday.
• Every team member works at least 4 of those 6 days on-site.
• On-site means our Dhaka office, a shoot location, a client meeting or an event venue.
• The remaining working days (up to 2 a week) may be remote, agreed in advance with your team lead.
• Shoot days, event days and client presentations always take priority over remote days.

Working hours

• Standard office hours are 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturday to Thursday, including a one-hour break.
• Shoot and event days may start earlier or finish later. Extra hours on these days are compensated with time off or overtime, as agreed with your team lead and in line with the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006.
• On remote days you are expected to be reachable during office hours and to join scheduled calls with your camera on when needed.

Remote work expectations

• Work from a quiet place with a reliable internet connection.
• Keep client files, footage and data inside company drives and tools. Do not store them on personal devices or share them on personal accounts.
• Lock your screen when you step away and never share passwords.
• Remote days can be withdrawn for a period if deadlines or quality are affected.

Attendance and leave

• Plan your on-site days with your team at the start of each week.
• Request leave in advance through your team lead. Leave, festival holidays and public holidays follow the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 and the Government of Bangladesh holiday calendar.
• If you are unwell, tell your team lead as early as possible on the same day.

Equipment and safety

• Company equipment (cameras, laptops, lights, audio gear) must be signed out and returned in good condition.
• Follow the safety briefing on every shoot and event, including rules for stages, rigging, electrics and crowds.
• Report any accident, injury or unsafe situation immediately.
