The play zone is filled with energising entertainment, such as a punching bag, table tennis, pool table and even a mini-cinema. It’s a high-energy environment that gives the centre’s agents time out for active breaks. Playful Australian symbols identify the space along one wall length, and comic book heroes along another wall. It’s a space that keeps youthful minds entertained and active, and ensures the iiNet centre stays ahead of the pack. Custom designed furniture in the meeting rooms has also creatively interpreted the factory aesthetic, with sewing table bases, steel frame window walls, exposed brickwork and rough iiNet timber tabletops. On each level, one-on-one meeting pods are themed to reflect Australian landmarks, such as Shark Island, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and Ayers Rock, each with custom seating, lighting and table to match the theme. Linking contact centre agents with the brand’s country of origin through the design of the working environment helps to provide staff with an instant connection to their customers. The brand language and values are brought to life through the creative use of corporate colours, forms and identity resulting in a fun and functional space, and most importantly productive environment for this market leader. 73
