Bad company, Bad people - Anonymous employee IRIS Software Group Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, although we are surprised and disappointed by your comments. Our people are at the heart of what we do, and we work hard to ensure our employees feel supported. As part of this commitment, we provide managers with the skills they need to motivate, develop, and inspire their teams through our ‘Managing with IMPACT’ training programme. This initiative provides managers with ongoing support, training for communication and emotional intelligence, HR coaching, and wellbeing tools to help support their employees and help them perform at their best. Equally, we are committed to paying our employees fairly and competitively for their hard work and are delighted to be officially recognised as a Real Living Wage employer. This means we promise to pay a fair wage to cover the real cost of living in the UK, as calculated by the Real Living Wage Foundation. We also run an annual salary review process and offer pay scales in select departments to automatically reward employees when they hit career milestones. In addition, career progression and personal development is of the upmost importance to us at IRIS. From secondments, which offer employees an opportunity to expand their skillset, work on different tasks, and plan their future career goals, to our Mentoring Scheme, which encourages employees to share their knowledge and expertise in support of their colleagues’ progression and development. We also provide a fantastic variety of fully funded training, with our Spring/Summer curriculum containing 37 courses, and supporting sponsored apprenticeships and other educational qualifications, with 19 new apprentices in the last 12 months. We are also proud to support the hundreds of employees who are nominated each year to join our High Potential Programme, which provides employees with the opportunity to network, gain new skills, and self-reflect on their own development through a range of activities to develop their career with us. Through these and other initiatives, we are proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for two years in a row. We’re sorry to hear that this wasn’t your experience and encourage you to reach out to our Chief People Officer, Stephanie Kelly, or contact EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk with any further comments. Kind regards, the HR team.
