IRIS Software Group reviews

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoy our extensive range of training and development opportunities. We’ve been proud to continue to run an extensive range of training sessions throughout 2020 which have been very popular – we’d encourage you to add yourself to the reserve list in case there are drop outs nearer the day. We are excited to be putting together our 2021 Learning Curriculum which will feature many of our most popular courses as well as new titles – please reach out to the Learning Team if there are specific courses you would like to see listed. We also fund professional memberships, qualifications and apprenticeships in a wide variety of skills, and our partnership with Perks@Work offers a host of free professional skills, wellbeing and exercises classes on demand for all our employees – check out their Community Online Academy to sign up. We really appreciate your feedback and would welcome any further ideas you’d like to share – if so, please email EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk or reach out to the HR team. Kind regards, the HR team

Thanks so much for leaving a review, although we’re surprised and disappointed by your comments. We have recently undergone a transformation project across our Customer Support teams and as part of this project, we’ve implemented a new telephony system across the entire organisation which allows us to better manage our call flows and improves the transfer process for calls internally. A review to further streamline telephone numbers will continue into the new year to improve the call transfer process even more. We record all calls for quality monitoring and would encourage you to immediately report any aggressive calls to your line manager so we can investigate and put things right. It is vital that our customers and colleagues treat each other with respect and any feedback received from either party is handled accordingly. We always monitor wait times, call handling performance and ticket closure times on a daily basis to identify any hot spots to ensure these can be addressed. It’s important that we have the right people in the right place at the right time to deliver an effective and efficient service to our customers and this can sometimes mean we limit the amount of holiday that can be taken at certain times of the year to deal with and customer peaks. All employees are given advance notice of this so they can plan their breaks accordingly – and with a generous 26 days holiday per year plus 3 Giving Back Days, there are plenty of opportunities to take holiday outside of our peak times. We recognise that this year has put exceptional strain on many, and we offer an extensive range of wellbeing support to all our employees – including funding training for dedicated Mental Health First Aiders across the organisation, a weekly worker support group, a free Employee Assistance Program and company-funded private healthcare with generous mental health provisions such as CBT and counselling, as well as a range of online mental health toolkits, resilience training and support from HR. Likewise, before lockdown, we were investing in a programme of office improvements across the UK, and we anticipate this will continue once we are back in the office. If you have any further feedback, please contact me directly, or email EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk. We wish you all the very best in your new role. Kind Regards, Alison Edgley - Customer Service Director
