Pros

met some great colleagues during my time here

Cons

The fact that they are ,yet again, asking for the submission of current staff to share glowing reports only as a ploy to bury to low star ratings is what can be as expected from this soul less, corporate factory!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, although we’re surprised and disappointed by your comments. We work hard across the business to make sure that IRIS is a great place to work and that employees have a fantastic benefits package, extensive opportunities for training and development, the chance to progress their career, recognising and rewarding high performance through awards and initiatives, encouraging our employees to have fun and get involved in charitable initiatives and looking after their wellbeing through a range of support schemes on offer. We are rightly proud of our achievements, which are reflected in the great feedback we get from employees in our engagement surveys and from our regular initiatives, and employees can choose to post on Glassdoor about their positive experiences if they wish. As you can see from the range of reviews we have on Glassdoor, all our reviews are genuine and we appreciate positive and negative reviews equally so we know where to celebrate and what we need to do to continue to improve. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns in more detail – please reach out to our Chief People Officer, Stephanie Kelly, in complete confidence. Kind regards, the HR team

Pros

Great place to work, with executive team that cares about its people. IRIS is continuing to develop an already great benefits package for all staff. The company is especially good at recognising and rewarding top talent and those individuals who go the extra mile. There’s also been a lot of new initiatives in engaging with staff and taking well-being seriously whilst everyone is working from home, including promoting charity work and helping local communities.

Cons

Like all companies, working from home has disrupted the social events for staff but IRIS is tackling this with more virtual events.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. We're delighted you recognise the efforts IRIS has made to keep everyone connected while working from home. We encourage our employees to stay in touch and get involved in daily catch ups, Workplace Support Groups, social lunchtimes and using Giving Back Days to help their local communities. We also offer a range of benefits to boost our employee’s mental, physical and financial wellbeing, and our employees can pick and choose which benefits they would like to receive. We’re also very proud to offer recognition for hard work in our High Potential and Top Talent programmes, training and development courses, Thank You Thursdays, IMPACT awards and IRIS Heroes. We also offer mentoring and secondment opportunities and apprenticeship funding for those wanting to take the next step in their careers with us! We appreciate that life has changed a lot in the past year, and with everyone working from home it has been difficult to adapt and ensure we stay connected. As mentioned above, we encourage our employees to join our range of virtual events and catch ups to keep in touch with their colleagues. 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 contact EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk. Kind regards, the HR team

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're delighted that you enjoyed the atmosphere and location of our Sheffield office and we're disappointed you wouldn't recommend us to others. IRIS is committed to being a great place to work with fair and competitive pay - we run an annual salary review process across the IRIS family to ensure everyone is paid fairly for their role and location and we are delighted to be formally recognised as a Real Living Wage employer for our commitment to pay all our employees a fair wage for a day's work. Alongside generous salaries, our employees also receive our fantastic benefits package - including free life insurance, income protection, Perks @ Work Discount site, company-funded healthcare, matched pension with national insurance uplift, enhanced maternity and paternity pay, a generous holiday entitlement and three fully-funded volunteering days per year, along with a host of other amazing benefits. We also offer a host of awards (such as our Made in IRIS Award for innovation with a top prize of £50,000 for a team entry) Top Talent prizes and our quarterly IMPACT Awards, to recognise and reward fantastic achievements at IRIS. We also invest significantly in management training, to ensure that all managers have the skills they need to be inspirational leaders across the business. We provide a range of free soft skills courses along with our dedicated 'Managing with IMPACT' training programme so our leaders are world class. We're sorry that this wasn't your experience, and we would like to discuss your feedback in more detail so that we can put things right. Please contact Stephanie Kelly, our Chief People Officer, in complete confidence. Kind regards, the HR team
