What makes IRIS Global Workforce Management solutions different? 

IRIS sets itself apart from other global payroll and HR providers through a unique combination of customer-centric features and scalable service options.   

Dedicated Support Contact

Instead of a call center or reaching a different person each time you need support, IRIS provides a single point of contact for each customer. This enables you to build a one-on-one relationship with a dedicated client services representative who understands your unique needs and goals, is easily reached and is your single source for all your needs – essentially becoming an extension of your team.    

Flexible and affordable

Perhaps you only need help with HR, or just payroll. Maybe you are just testing out a new market and employing a very small workforce. No matter how great or small your needs are, we can help. You shouldn’t have to pay for services you don’t use, so we offer multiple commercial structures to meet varying needs and budgets.  

Scalable and broad services

Our services are as dynamic as your business, ready to adapt and grow. Whether expanding to new regions, scaling up employee numbers, or extending service needs, IRIS’s scalability is a testament to our ability to support a global workforce effectively. With support for every global workforce challenge, IRIS is the only global payroll and HR partner you need.

We wouldn’t be where we are right now without IRIS. IRIS provided not just a global HR and payroll solution but did it in a way that was accessible and easy to manage. Everything is all in the web portal, which is amazing. I love it. It’s so much easier.

The steps required to get set up to do business in Canada are massive compared to what’s required in the U.S. but IRIS walked us through every step. There is no question or request I’ve asked that IRIS hasn’t been able to handle or coach us through. We absolutely would not be able to do this [expand operations into Canada] without them.
