Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, although we are surprised and disappointed by your comments. Our people are at the heart of what we do, and we work hard to ensure our employees feel supported. As part of this commitment, we provide managers with the skills they need to motivate, develop, and inspire their teams through our ‘Managing with IMPACT’ training programme. This initiative provides managers with ongoing support, training for communication and emotional intelligence, HR coaching, and wellbeing tools to help support their employees and help them perform at their best. Equally, we are committed to paying our employees fairly and competitively for their hard work and are delighted to be officially recognised as a Real Living Wage employer. This means we promise to pay a fair wage to cover the real cost of living in the UK, as calculated by the Real Living Wage Foundation. We also run an annual salary review process and offer pay scales in select departments to automatically reward employees when they hit career milestones. In addition, career progression and personal development is of the upmost importance to us at IRIS. From secondments, which offer employees an opportunity to expand their skillset, work on different tasks, and plan their future career goals, to our Mentoring Scheme, which encourages employees to share their knowledge and expertise in support of their colleagues’ progression and development. We also provide a fantastic variety of fully funded training, with our Spring/Summer curriculum containing 37 courses, and supporting sponsored apprenticeships and other educational qualifications, with 19 new apprentices in the last 12 months. We are also proud to support the hundreds of employees who are nominated each year to join our High Potential Programme, which provides employees with the opportunity to network, gain new skills, and self-reflect on their own development through a range of activities to develop their career with us. Through these and other initiatives, we are proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for two years in a row. We’re sorry to hear that this wasn’t your experience and encourage you to reach out to our Chief People Officer, Stephanie Kelly, or contact EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk with any further comments. Kind regards, the HR team.

Pros

Great individuals. Sense of team. Committed employees. The org says the 'right' things and I'm sure means well.

Cons

Aggressive Commercial org. Accountant-led targets with no Commercial consultation. The product roadmap is poor. Acquisitions are not handled strategically across the org. Unrelenting 'at all costs' drive to an event horizon whatever the collateral damage. You need to be an alpha to succeed and part of the 'club'.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, although we are surprised and disappointed by your comments. We are very proud of our extensive track record of growing via acquiring fantastic organisations with great people who enable us to provide a greater range of products to our customer base. We have refined our acquisitions and integration processes through experience and are now proud to have a dedicated team within IRIS focused on welcoming new businesses into the IRIS family. This includes inviting them to join our competitive benefits package, extensive training and development opportunities, and regular communications. We take the time to get to know employees so we can benefit from their shared expertise, and we’re delighted to have celebrated many promotions of employees who joined IRIS via acquisitions. We want our employees to feel empowered and we work hard to make sure that employees across IRIS can share their fantastic ideas and suggestions. For example, through Peakon, our monthly survey tool, employees at IRIS are able to share their ideas with managers and senior leaders in real time. Managers and leaders can instantly see this feedback, allowing them to act on ideas quickly and respond to comments, so that employees are enabled to immediately make an #IMPACT. We’re sorry to hear that this wasn’t your experience and would encourage you to reach out to Dipika Mistry, the HR representative for Marketing, so that she can discuss your concerns and help put things right. We’re always looking for ways we can be the best we can be, and we would welcome any further suggestions. Please contact EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk. Kind regards, the HR team
