Pros

IRIS are very focussed on opening up opportunities at all levels to develop careers and enhance the soft skills training. They have placed particular emphasis on emotional and mental well being

Cons

As a very large company, it sometimes feels like going round the houses to get answers

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted to hear that you appreciate 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 – including a big focus on mindfulness, resilience and wellbeing to get us through an unprecedented year. We’ve also been delighted to find Mental Health First Aider certification for employees across IRIS so they can feel confident to support colleagues if they are struggling, alongside company-funded private healthcare, our Employee Assistance Programme and Workplace Support Group who meet weekly to discuss a range of wellbeing related topics such as loneliness, stress and helping others during the pandemic. We know that as a large and growing organisation, communication can be a challenge. We have invested significantly in our communication strategy, including holding monthly site updates, our Your IRIS newsletter, excellent intranet site, Teams channels and Elona’s weekly CEO emails. We’re very excited to have recently launched Peakon to enable our employees to give immediate suggestions and feedback to their managers and senior leaders so we can use your ideas to continuously improve – as well as answer any questions you may have. 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 taking the time to leave a review. We're really glad that you enjoyed your time at IRIS and our fantastic working culture. Our leaders and managers work hard to make IRIS a great place to work in an environment where we really care for our staff. We've invested significantly in training opportunities over the past 12 months - in 2020 we ran around 180 training courses, funded 50 apprenticeships and launched our 'Managing with IMPACT' dedicated training programme for manager across the business. We also paid for 42 employees to train as Mental Health First Aiders (with more opportunities on offer in 2021) as well as offering funding for professional qualifications and memberships, and 5 paid study days for employees who need time off to revise for exams. We're always looking to expand our learning curriculum, and we would be really grateful if you could contact learning@iris.co.uk with your suggestions on other topics or training you would have found useful. We wish you all the very best in your next role. Kind regards, the HR team

Pros

Iris have invested heavily in its people. Training and developing staff to bring out their full potential and further develop their already excellent skills. Recently invested in Mental Health First Aid course to help support the mental health and wellbeing of all the Iris family, encouraging people to look after their mental as well as physical health. Together with a support package of private health care, employee support lines, wellbeing support groups and generally showing empathy and compassion, Iris is a great place to work.

Cons

Was acquired by Iris 2 years ago and was initially unsure about our direction. New Management since brought in and communication has vastly improved.
