IRIS Software Group Adds Welsh Language Option to Staffology HR

New language addition will support inclusive and legally compliant business operations 

LONDON, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — From the CIPD Festival of Work tradeshow, IRIS Software Group (IRIS), a global provider of accountancy, edtech, HR and payroll solutions announced the release of a Welsh language version of its widely-used cloud-based software, Staffology HR – adding to its existing language options: British and American English, Italian, Spanish, French and German.

Stephanie Coward, Manging Director of Human Capital Management (HCM) at IRIS said: “With the launch of this new Welsh language feature, Staffology HR continues to support businesses in creating global, inclusive and efficient work environments. IRIS is dedicated to meeting the ever-changing needs of its clients, allowing them to rest easy with ongoing compliance updates to focus on higher-priority tasks: managing and growing their businesses.”

With today’s update, businesses using Staffology HR can easily toggle between seven supported languages. Created in partnership with LinguaSkin, the Welsh language option is now available to more than 1,400 businesses of all sizes.

As hundreds of thousands of UK organisations plan to expand internationally with 87% planning further global growth over the next year – today’s functionality will support compliance with regional legislation and broaden global inclusivity and accessibility, helping HR professionals adhere to the Welsh Language Standards and ensure compliance with the Welsh Language Act. Moreover, it will enable Welsh employees to access the platform in their native or preferred language, anytime and anywhere.

Helen Pugsley, The Welsh Language Commissioner’s Senior HR Officer, said: “Staffology HR is a fantastic system, and we are delighted that IRIS has provided us with software in the Welsh language. We collaborated closely with the team and feel that our feedback has been genuinely valued. Our staff have responded positively to the software, and we would highly recommend it.”
