Time out

TelstraClear Office mural

The TelstraClear Communications Call Centre at Smales Farm in Auckland is a fast paced target-driven workplace.

With literally thousands of calls to answer in any given day, staff are relentlessly exposed to potentially debilitating stress.

Recent refurbishment activity has seen the introduction of a theme for the open plan office. With a New Zealand native bush scene mural handpainted using a selection of native hues tinted into Resene Lumbersider spanning an impressive 22 metres, staff can now enjoy the natural break between their working space and their time-out space.

Focusing on the peace and tranquillity associated with long bush walks, the mural is a clever, yet subtle, method of tempering the stressful work environment and providing continuity throughout the open space.
