Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, although we are sorry to hear of your experience with a potential sale being reallocated. We are aware of the situation you are referring to; on limited occasions, we may ask our senior sales executives to take on high-value deals so that they can provide their expertise and be role models for our newer colleagues. We are sorry if you felt this wasn’t handled sensitively and we will always encourage collaboration between our senior salespeople and junior salespeople, who are able to shadow our sales experts to refine their skills and be able to provide an outstanding quality of service. We’re very proud to support all our salespeople so that they can develop their skills, learn different products, and grow their careers. We run an extensive 4-week induction and training course for our newer sales executives which is delivered by a host of experts across Sales, Marketing and Product. This training covers the end-to-end sales process supported by individual training modules and a tailored product training programme We also provide dedicated personal performance coaching for our salespeople and work shadowing opportunities, so that they can develop their skills and grow their careers. To reward our fantastic salespeople, we offer a comprehensive commission scheme that has been rolled out across the function to provide monthly commission payments, which are allocated based on input and promotes the chance to earn 200% of commission when the target is achieved. We are also pleased to run a recognition award for our highest performing salespeople each quarter, with our latest winner being gifted an electric scooter. Employee feedback is always important to us, and we encourage all of our employees to share with us their great feedback in our monthly engagement survey Peakon. We are continuing to increase the engagement in our Sales team and are so pleased to have an engagement score of 8.5 for our Sales department, which is 0.7 above our industry benchmark. We are also consistently scoring high in our drivers for ‘Management Support’ and ‘Organisational Fit’ from the survey results of our Sales team. We also encourage our employees reach out to our Employee Voice Ambassador, who are given dedicated training on how to interpret and action Peakon feedback, facilitate meetings, and lead with empathy. We are proud to have 10 ambassadors in Sales & Marketing, who listen to the teams’ collective voices to be cascaded up to our senior leaders and executive team, thereby helping implement positive change and further improve engagement. 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 wish you all the best in the future. Kind regards, the HR team

Pride abounds at IRIS

Pros

It is rare to join a company and feel the level of pride people have to work here. It's contagious! IRIS is inclusive, diverse and extremely supportive of work/life balance. Their involvement in the community is extremely high, and they provide amply paid time to allow for you to support causes and organizations. The CEO is a ball of fire, and her enthusiasm affects us all.

Cons

IRIS is still working on how best to take this awesome culture across the pond to the Americas - but, from what I've seen so far, that's a chief focus for this year.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are delighted that you recognise our passion for inclusion, diversity, and support for all our employees, which is championed by our exceptional CEO, Elona. We are proud to advocate for environmental and charitable causes and offer a generous PTO for our employees to spend time doing great things and relaxing with their loved ones. We are delighted to have expanded into North America in the last two years and have welcomed over 165 employees in Canada and the US to date. Investing in our Americas team is a core focus for IRIS and has formed one of our four key priorities for FY23. We are very proud of all our fantastic acquisitions and have refined our integration processes through experience and with a dedicated team, so that we can smoothly welcome new businesses into the IRIS family. We include newly acquired employees in our initiatives and policies, such as our IMPACT Awards to recognise and celebrate those who live our values, our Made in IRIS CEO Award which offers a $66,000 prize for a great idea that enhances our success, our High Potential Programme and international training curriculum which provide a range of developmental activities to foster career progression, and our Recommend a Friend policy to hire more great talent. We’re always looking for ways we can be the best we can be, and we would welcome any further suggestions. Please speak to your HR representative or leave a comment in our next Peakon survey. Kind regards, the HR team
