Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We're delighted that you recognise our range of flexible working options, including remote working, hybrid working, part time hours, and term time only contracts. We are very proud of our modern and refurbished office at Heathrow Approach with spacious work areas, fun and relaxing zones, and free parking. We work hard across IRIS to give all managers the skills they need to motivate, develop and inspire their teams. Our ‘Managing with IMPACT’ training programme provides managers with ongoing support, communication, emotional intelligence and practical training, HR coaching, and wellbeing tools to ensure that their employees are performing at their best. We are also delighted to be one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing, through our employee groups such as our Mental Health First Aiders, Belonging Champions, and weekly workplace support group. We are also proud to provide company-funded access to talking therapies, wellbeing apps, an Employee Assistance Program, and Mindfulness training. You can find out more and access these resources by visiting our dedicated Wellbeing intranet page. We’re sorry to hear that this hasn’t been your experience so far and encourage you to reach out to your HR representative, in complete confidence so that they can help. 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.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, although we were surprised and disappointed by your comments. We want our employees to feel empowered and we work hard to ensure that everyone across IRIS can share their fantastic ideas and suggestions with us. We encourage you to use Peakon, our monthly survey tool, to share your ideas with managers and senior leaders in real time. This feedback can be instantly viewed, allowing our leadership teams to act on ideas quickly, respond to comments and make an #IMPACT. We are delighted that we have an engagement score of 7.5 across Customer Support, where we consistently score high on Autonomy, Recognition, and Manager Support as drivers of engagement. Additionally, managers responded and interacted over 7,000 times to comments left by our Customer Support employees. Our Customer Support Team at Wigan recently celebrated their year end with a group award event, where the team voted on several award categories before treating themselves to a night out. We are also very proud for our Wigan Customer Support Team, who have recently won our IMPACT Awards for Team of the Quarter, celebrating their win with a team dinner. We are delighted to support our managers development through our ‘Managing with IMPACT’ programme, which has currently supported 74 managers in the past 12 months, with 15 starting the course soon. This training programme provides managers with ongoing support, communication, emotional intelligence and practical training to develop the skills they need to motivate, develop and inspire their teams. We have also recently launched our ‘Leading with IMPACT’ programme, with our first cohort off 22 senior leaders due to start in July. We also offer our employees the chance to learn from more experienced colleagues through our Mentoring Programme. With a range of 30 senior mentors to choose from, employees can receive access to a wider set of skills, experience, and perspectives than from their manager alone. It also empowers the mentor to provide individual advice, support and knowledge sharing with a specific mentee. 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

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are delighted that you recognise our fantastic people that make up our IRIS family and enjoy our commission scheme. We are very proud of our brilliant salespeople and are pleased to reward them for hitting their targets. We also operate a variety of incentives and competitions throughout the year – recently we were delighted to award an electric scooter to one of our commercial employees. 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 are also proud to have fantastic employees and excellent management who support each other and #MakeItHappen, as in line with our IMPACT values. We support our managers' development through our ‘Managing with IMPACT’ programme, which has currently supported 74 managers in the past 12 months, with 15 starting the course soon. This training programme provides managers with ongoing support, communication, emotional intelligence and practical training to develop the skills they need to motivate, develop and inspire their teams. We are also delighted to have recently launched our ‘Leading with IMPACT’ programme, with our first cohort of 22 senior leaders starting in July. These are steps we are taking as a business to improve the collaboration and success of our employees. 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
