5 years as one of the best places to work in Australia
At the GPTW Awards night in August 2019, it was revealed that i2C placed 14th in the Best Places to Work in Australia Study 2019 (of firms less than 100 employees). We are honoured to have held this position for five years but all credit goes to our team for fostering the great i2C culture, we are so proud of.
A further achievement was maintaining a position in the top 20 at a time when many companies are really starting to focus on their workplace culture. Great Place to Work also had a much larger pool of potential companies vying for the top spot in this year’s competition. i2C is consistently amongst Australia’s best places to work and have participated every year since 2010 and are thrilled to have been in the top 20 over the last five!
Each year the survey results help us to understand where our team are at, what is working and what we should be focussing on to foster a better place for our team to be part of each day. When 99% of your team believe that “people care about each other here” and 96% said “there is a family feeling here” we know that is not about what management do but the actions of each of every one of our team members, that make a difference.
i2C’s Managing Directors, Brian Jende, Anthony Merlin and Rod Rose, refer back to their tight-knit team as the constant fundamental driving force behind i2C’s special workplace culture.
“We are continually inspired by the passion and camaraderie amongst our team. Our whole team embody our core values and it’s their daily contribution that makes coming to work more than just a job” – Anthony

Finally, a huge thank you to the entire i2C team, it is you that make this company the special place that it is today.
