There are many benefits to working at IPB. Our rewards are competitive compared to the open market. Our Employee Value Proposition not only remunerates competitively and rewards you for what you do well, but we invest in and support your professional and personal growth too. Our employee benefits are designed to help you manage and plan for the future as well as looking after your health, wellbeing and work-life balance.
We offer a competitive base salary and bonus scheme rewarding you for your contribution and operate a Defined Contribution Pension Scheme with automatic enrolment to support you immediately in preparing for your future retirement needs.
For long-term absences of 26 weeks or more income protection is available. For shorter term illness of three days or more, your salary may be maintained with social welfare payments deducted.
Your health is of critical importance to us and a competitive medical allowance is provided to allow you to choose your own medical plan that suits your individual needs. In addition to a healthcare allowance for employees, IPB also provides a generous contribution towards the healthcare plan for dependents.
We are committed to supporting family life and provide several parenting policies as some employees embark on the journey of parenthood. These include enhanced/top-up maternity, adoption and paternity leave. Parental and parents leave are also provided for in line with statutory requirements.
Recognising that time away from work is important, a generous number of annual leave days that increase with length of service are provided. In addition, if you need more time away for whatever your needs are, employees may be entitled to purchase additional annual leave on top of their current entitlement up to a maximum of eight days in the calendar year.
Employees can avail of paid compassionate leave and force majeure for certain personal situations in the event that they arise. For those that require time in preparing for marriage, we will provide an additional 3 days leave to eligible employees. Flexible options extend to job sharing, a daily flexible working schedule and remote working.
We are committed to all employees continuous development to ensure that they have access to learning and development opportunities including professional and skills-based development, leadership development, further education and fulfilling CPD requirements as required by the relevant professional body which enables them to carry out their role effectively. We invest in this area to ensure all employees have the opportunity to grow and develop personally and professionally and to reach their career potential whilst supporting realisation of our business objectives.
For those wanting to continue their education, we help you along that journey with a comprehensive study and exam leave package specific to each programme of study available.
We know that everyone has potential, and we have a comprehensive Talent Management programme to support employees in maximising their potential and in developing future leaders for the organisation.
We set clear expectations for performance and provide coaching and feedback through our Performance Management Framework. This helps employee’s growth, development, and learning opportunities.
We show our appreciation and recognition for employees through several formal and informal initiatives including Long Term Service Awards where employees are rewarded with extra annual leave and a generous cash amount.
