London, United Kingdom, March 20, 2026: IRIS Software Group (IRIS) has been recognized as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for the sixth consecutive year, ranking 35thth out of 50 in the list of very large organizations from Great Place to Work® UK, the global accreditation body for workplace culture.
IRIS provides accounting, human resources, payroll and training software and services, helping more than 100,000 clients with some of their most critical operations. Its commitment to creating a supportive, cohesive and inclusive workplace helps employees in the UK and around the world thrive – an investment that directly benefits the customers who rely on them for their critical operations every day.
“What makes this recognition so meaningful is that it is based on honest feedback from our incredible UK team,” said Stephanie Kelly, Director of Human Resources at 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 impact of what they’re building – the paycheck that arrives 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.”
This distinction is driven by the annual Great Place to Work™ Trust Index survey, which analyzes how an organization’s workplace culture drives business success based on anonymous responses from its employees. It measures various factors such as credibility, companionship, well-being and support. This recognition validates IRIS’ approach to employee engagement and building a culture that supports and values its employees.
IRIS employees have access to a range of engagement opportunities and initiatives, such as charitable ‘Giving Back Days’, its affinity groups which recognize employees from diverse backgrounds and experiences, and comprehensive rewards and benefits to support employees in their professional and personal lives.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
