Thank you for your feedback, we’re always grateful to hear the thoughts of our IRISians as they are the ones who drive the success of our business.
At IRIS, we’re very proud to have grown by acquiring fantastic companies with amazing employees across the world. The majority of our employees actually joined us via an acquisition and we’re very proud that our employees have rated us as a Great Place to Work in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland and India, and are excited to launch our survey in Romania this year. We recognise that being acquired can be a significant adjustment for some people and particularly becoming part of a larger and more global organisation. While we do our best to ensure that all parties across the UK and Americas are on the same page, we understand that working cross-culturally and across different time zones can be challenging. We aim to mitigate those challenges by having an extensive integration plan for welcoming new acquisitions into the #1RIS family. Part of this plan includes our welcome call for all acquisitions that walks our new IRISians through our business, strategy, culture and how they as a new acquisition contribute to driving IRIS’ success forward.
It’s important to us that new acquisitions get as many opportunities as possible to ask questions and share their anonymous feedback to help us shape a united #1RIS culture, via Peakon our monthly employment engagement survey and Q&A sessions. To further drive this unity, we run regular all-hands townhall calls, in addition to invitations to all company communication. We prioritise the acquisition leaders sharing and using their deep understanding of their business to help us welcome our new colleagues well and ensure we get the best outcome for everyone.
We're proud to support our acquisitions as they continue their success and growth, and by joining a larger organisation they also gain access to increased investment to develop their products, extensive training and development opportunities, and are able to participate in our various engagement initiatives, reward and benefit programmes which they may not have access to previously. We’re delighted to have seen many rising stars from acquired companies who have taken their careers to new heights at IRIS that wouldn’t have been possible in a smaller business.
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. We’d also encourage you to reach out to David May (david.may@iris.co.uk), VP M&A & Integration, to share your feedback on the integration process. Kind regards, the HR team
