Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted that you recognise our brilliant colleagues, who each help to create a supportive and welcoming environment where everyone can flourish and bring their true selves to work. We are proud to be an ambitious company and are delighted to have celebrated 40 years of uninterrupted growth. Part of the secret to our success is our fantastic acquisitions, which bring more great people into the IRIS family and enables us to provide a larger range of products and services to our customer base. We are proud to only acquire successful businesses who operate within one of our 3 market sectors: Accountancy, Education, and HCM, to ensure a highly targeted approach and easy integration and transition. We’ve refined our acquisitions and integration processes through experience, with the support of our dedicated team within IRIS, who have welcomed over 500 acquired employees in the last 12 months. We also continue to grow organically and hire fantastic people to continue to provide outstanding service to our customers. We continuously work with our employees to build on our success and set clear priorities and objectives for the future to see what more we can achieve together. We empower our employees to shape the course of IRIS by sharing their great feedback with us through monthly engagement surveys, departmental Employee Voice Ambassadors, and our annual Great Place to Work survey. We always want to empower all our employees to find the work life balance that’s right for them. We do this through a range of flexible working options and patterns, 3 fully paid Giving Back Days for charitable and community causes, an employee assistance programme, mental health provisions and discounted gym memberships. We’re always looking for ways we can be the best we can be, and we would welcome any further suggestions. Please reach out to the HR team or email EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk. Kind regards, the HR team

Pros

I have been with Iris for approximately 5 months and have been incredibly impressed. The people I work with from my peers, leadership (including executive leadership) and my team, are amazing. Building relationships has been easy as most of the employees are open to it, are very collaborative and genuinely want to help! Iris is also focused on equality and ensure we all have a fair opportunity for growth. While we have a lot to do here, it is clear that we are valued.

Cons

As a rapidly growing organization, we have some growing pains and some foundational processes, systems and flow that need to be updated and/or adjusted, but nothing that won't be fixed over time.
