Pros

Occasionally get the weekends off

Cons

Understaffed. Management don't know anything about the services offered nor are they willing to learn. Any bonuses or commission you received before Iris took over your company will be taken away. Employees being signed off with stress related issues in every department. Closed all offices to save costs, but pretend this was done to protect the environment.

Thank so much for taking the time to leave a review, although we are surprised and disappointed by your comments. Our managers and senior leaders have extensive managed payroll experience to support our teams as we grow, and we are delighted to have continually hired people into our managed payroll team throughout the year. We also provide an annual bonus to all our global payroll employees to recognise and reward them for all their hard work throughout the year. We are also committed to offering a great range of mental health and wellbeing support - with trained mental health first aiders, a weekly workplace support group, company-funded access to talking therapies, wellbeing apps, an Employee Assistance Program, and Mindfulness training. Like many companies during the Covid-19 pandemic, we closed many of our offices to ensure that everyone could work from home safely, in accordance with government guidelines. Since then, we have conducted numerous employee surveys to understand if/when they would like to return to their sites. The overwhelming feedback has been that most employees do not wish to return to the office for the majority of their time, so we are looking at the best approach that considers the needs of all of our teams. We’re always looking for ways we can be the best we can be, and we would welcome any further suggestions. Please reach out to the HR team or email EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk. Kind regards, the HR team

Pros

I have been with Iris for approximately 5 months and have been incredibly impressed. The people I work with from my peers, leadership (including executive leadership) and my team, are amazing. Building relationships has been easy as most of the employees are open to it, are very collaborative and genuinely want to help! Iris is also focused on equality and ensure we all have a fair opportunity for growth. While we have a lot to do here, it is clear that we are valued.

Cons

As a rapidly growing organization, we have some growing pains and some foundational processes, systems and flow that need to be updated and/or adjusted, but nothing that won't be fixed over time.
