Why Fun Isn't the Opposite of Work: It's What Makes Work, Work

Funlab is in the business of fun, but its culture is built with intent.

In this energising on-demand session, Naz Wilson, Head of Engagement for People Experience at Funlab (the team behind Strike Bowling, Holey Moley, Archie Brothers, Hijinx Hotel, and more across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States), shares what it takes to scale culture in a fast‑growing organisation, from hiring for alignment and setting clear standards to recognising the behaviours that drive performance.

After 18 years at the coalface of Funlab’s growth, Naz has helped turn lived moments into habits, learning, and leader behaviours that scale.

Expect stories. Expect energy. Expect to get ready to make work a little more fun… on purpose.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to hire for alignment without losing pace in a high‑growth environment

  • The standards, rituals, and operating rhythms that make “fun” repeatable and accountable

  • How to recognise and reinforce the behaviours that drive performance and belonging

  • Practical ways leaders can turn moments into habits that scale across venues and teams

Who should watch:

  • HR, People & Culture and Employee Experience leaders

  • Operations and venue/site managers

  • Internal comms and L&D professionals

  • Anyone building culture in frontline, hospitality, or entertainment environments
