London, UK, 20th March, 2026: IRIS Software Group (IRIS) has been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for the sixth consecutive year, ranking 35th out of 50 in the Super Large Organisations list from Great Place to Work® UK, the global workplace culture accreditation body. 

IRIS provides accountancy, HR, payroll, and education software and services, supporting more than 100,000 customers with some of their most business-critical operations. Its commitment to building a supportive, consistent, and inclusive workplace helps employees in the UK, and globally, thrive – an investment that directly benefits the customers relying on them for critical operations every day. 

“What makes this recognition so meaningful is that it’s based on the honest feedback from our incredible UK team,” said Stephanie Kelly, Chief People Officer, IRIS Software Group. “Six consecutive years is a milestone we’re proud of, and a reflection of the culture we’re committed to building. When your employees understand the real-world impact of what they build – the paycheck that lands on time, the small business owner who files their taxes with confidence, the employee who gets the support they need – that’s where culture and purpose come together.” 

The accolade is driven by the annual Great Place to Work™ Trust Index Survey, which analyses how an organisation’s workplace culture drives business success based on the anonymous answers of its employees. It measures a variety of factors such as credibility, camaraderie, wellbeing, and support. The recognition validates IRIS’ approach to employee engagement and building a culture that supports and values its people.  

Employees at IRIS have access to a range of engagement opportunities and initiatives, such as charitable ‘Giving Back Days’, its Affinity Groups which recognise employees of diverse backgrounds and experiences, and comprehensive rewards and benefits to support employees in both their professional and personal lives.
