Case Study: Prince Albert Community Trust halves staff absence and reduces agency costs with IRIS Software Group's Every HR

How PACT achieved seamless staff absence management

Prince Albert Community Trust (PACT), which runs seven primary schools and one secondary, was dealing with spreadsheet mayhem and absences slipping through the cracks—hurting staff wellbeing, student attendance and budgets. To address this, PACT adopted Every HR by IRIS from IRIS Software Group.

IRIS Software Group implemented Every HR by IRIS to automate absence triggers, give heads and HR real-time visibility, and enable proactive wellbeing conversations; as a result PACT’s absence rate fell from 7.6% to 4.2%, agency and sick-pay costs were substantially reduced (notably in the 2023 Autumn Term), and staff reported fairer treatment and better support.
