Going downhill fast - Anonymous employee IRIS Software Group Employee Review

We are very sorry that you have been affected by the recent restructure within our Sales organisation. We would like to thank you for taking the time to write a review, although we are surprised and disappointed by your comments. We have a market-leading benefits package, including company-funded private healthcare, life insurance and income protection cover, generous holiday entitlement, 3 fully paid Giving Back Days for volunteering each year, a great pension scheme with NI uplift, a Perks @ Work platform offering discounted shopping, cinema tickets and travel, and a restaurant savings card, as well as the season ticket loan, cycle scheme you mention. We recently launched our tech scheme which offers the chance to purchase technology through Curry’s PC World via salary sacrifice to benefit from tax savings and the payment split over a 12 month period. We’re delighted to confirm that all our benefits are available to every UK employee here at IRIS. If you’d like more information or have additional benefits you’d like us to consider, please log into our myIRIS benefits platform or contact our Benefits Manager, Kerry.Cook@iris.co.uk. We are also very proud of our record of recognising and rewarding our hardworking staff. We offer our quarterly IMPACT Awards with voucher prizes for those who live our values (nominated by colleagues across the business), a Top Talent Award to recognise those who’ve gone above and beyond each year, our CEO’s weekly IRIS Heroes, as well as encouraging managers to give impromptu rewards and great feedback to celebrate their team’s fantastic achievements. Our bonus scheme is open to many employees across the business (not just managers) and we are currently looking into ways to extend the scheme to the small proportion who aren’t currently eligible. We are also delighted to be accredited as a Real Living Wage employer, and we commit to paying all our employees fairly and competitively for their work. We operate an annual salary review process and dedicated departmental pay progression schemes to support this across the business, alongside the many promotions we celebrate each year. We also offer extensive opportunities for training and development – including a range of courses that are freely available and now remote (both soft and technical), and a huge range of apprenticeship opportunities – we’ve been delighted to support over 100 apprenticeship applications this year alone, along with offering generous funding for individual qualifications and training. Please reach out to learning@iris.co.uk if you have a specific course you would like to attend. We aim to be a highly communicative and transparent employer and communicate through a range of channels – our intranet pages, monthly updates in every site and remotely, our regular newsletter, weekly emails from our CEO to name a few. We also offer extensive opportunities for feedback and questions – through our employee engagement committee, EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk email address, an open door policy for all managers and HR and opportunities for questions at the end of each monthly update. We would very much welcome the chance to talk to you in more detail so we can give the information you’re after and improve your experience of IRIS – please email EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk, reach out to your HR representative, or contact Stephanie Kelly, our Chief People Officer, so that we can help. Kind regards, the HR team
