Supporting and investing in our employees
Guided by our “Employee First, Client First” philosophy, employee benefits at Iris are designed to support the financial, health and well-being needs of our associates to help achieve harmony between their professional and personal growth.*These benefits are for employees in India only.
Grow with Iris
We are committed to providing comprehensive programs and opportunities for a well-rounded career growth and development.
We invest in robust career progression for every employee. This is enabled through well-defined career levels, vertical and horizontal hierarchies, and roles that are future-oriented and scalable. This approach ensures that employees have a clear path to advancement and helps them align their professional goals with the organization’s objectives.
We are dedicated to facilitating growth and fostering the professional aspirations of our employees, thus providing opportunities for career development and progression. This includes encouraging internal movement across departments and functions through a well-established Internal Job Posting (IJP) program. This program enables employees to explore different roles, acquire new skills, and broaden their experiences within the organization.
We firmly believe in acknowledging, appreciating and celebrating the efforts and achievements of our employees. We have an elaborate RnR program to recognize team members on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis, with a wide range of conditional and un-conditional awards. Our reward programs acknowledge individual as well as team efforts to reinforce the Iris values of collaboration, ownership, client-centricity, employee experience and entrepreneurship. By recognizing outstanding performance, we motivate our employees and strengthen the culture of excellence and achievement.
We invest in learning programs to enable all our associates develop skills for the future. As part of the Trail Blazer policy, a flagship learning program, employees can access online courses, certifications, seminars, webinars, and virtual instructor-led training. This allows them to learn at their own convenience from any location. Additionally, annual learning budgets are assigned for leadership development, soft skills programs, critical technical skills, and upskilling in modern emerging technologies. This focus on learning and growth creates a supportive environment where individuals can thrive and make a meaningful impact.

We are committed to help Irisians secure their financial future through various offerings.
We acknowledge that our associates invest their talent and efforts to contribute to the growth of Iris. Our competitive compensation plans are thus benchmarked with the industry. Additionally, we offer a skill premium for niche skills.

Employees receive gratuity payments whenever they separate from the company, in appreciation of their contribution to Iris.
