Slow career progression and below national average for salaries - Product Owner IRIS Software Group Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, although we are surprised and disappointed by your comments. We are delighted to reward our employees for their hard work, celebrating 152 promotions in the last 12 months and offering a variety of annual bonus plans and monthly commission schemes. Each year, we are proud to run a salary review process, where we use a best practice and evidence-led process to fair and competitive salary increases. This ensures increases are assigned fairly and consistently across the organisation. We are also proud to be recognised as a Real Living Wage employer. This means we commit to paying a fair wage to cover at least the real cost of living in the UK as calculated by the Real Living Wage Foundation. Investing in our employees personal and professional development is also important to us. We are delighted to run an extensive range of progression opportunities, from our annual High Potential scheme, which provides our employees with a yearlong course to progress their careers with us, through networking sessions, webinars, and other development activities, to our IRIS Mentors, which encourages senior leaders to share their knowledge and expertise to support a colleagues’ progression and development. Over the last 12 months, we have also enrolled 19 apprentices to join our cohort of 52, provided 37 courses in our Spring/Summer Curriculum and delivered 155 training sessions, as well as supporting 74 mangers with our Managing with Impact programme and are welcoming 43 senior employees to our new Leading with Impact programme. We’re also working towards publishing clear career paths for all employees across the business, so that everyone can flourish in their profession. We’re sorry to hear that this hasn’t been your experience, and we strongly encourage you to reach out to your HR representative, so that she 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
