Pros

Some of the people are friendly

Cons

My team was heavily understaffed. They send emails about mental health but no real action is taken to fix the problems. They do not listen when employees leave for stress or mental health related reasons, they say it is 'expected'. Management does not listen or do anything when employees have issues.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, although we’re disappointed by your comments. We know Covid-19 has led to unprecedented demands on employees in many organisations, and we have invested heavily in mental health support to help employees who may be struggling – from training more than 60 mental health first aiders across the organisation, funding free private healthcare with talking therapies for all staff, providing a dedicated Employee Assistance Programme and running two weekly Workplace Support Groups for employees to discuss and share their experiences on a range of mental health issues, and running training webinars on time management, delegation and resilience. We know that it’s also important that everyone has a manageable workload, and we currently have a hiring drive in many areas with almost 100 vacancies across the business, including Customer Support vacancies. We’re also implementing a new system to support a more efficient call workflow, encouraging focus time, regular breaks and daily check-ins to help everyone balance their time effectively. We’re sorry to hear about your experiences, and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss your feedback in more detail. Please reach out to the HR team or employeefeedback@iris.co.uk in complete confidence so that we can help put things right. 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.
