Over the past year Iress has been working with the River Nile School, an independent school for refugees and asylum seeker women. From meeting the students at their careers day to work experience and the mentorship programs at Iress’ Melbourne office, we always knew that this would be a rewarding collaboration. We know there are significant challenges refugees and asylum seekers face when it comes to accessing education and employment opportunities. Part of the rewarding nature of these events is hearing the students’ stories of the trials and triumphs of integrating into a new country and finding their sense of belonging.
How do we stop imposter syndrome getting in the way of success? 70% of people get imposter syndrome - that pesky feeling of being exposed as a fake, fraud or phoney. Left unchecked, imposter syndrome can lead to burnout and loss of productivity, costing individuals their mental health and careers and businesses billions of dollars. That makes it an issue we can’t ignore. In the latest episode of the award-winning Upfront podcast, comedian Olga Koch is joined by imposter syndrome expert and confidence coach Alison Shamir. Alison shares her own experiences of imposter syndrome, a three-step plan to tackle it, plus some advice every employer needs to hear.

Gareth Davis is head of product engineering (regional) at Iress. He has been producing music as a hobby since 2006 and released his first EP to the world on Spotify in 2014. Balancing his creativity for music with work isn't easy, as it's difficult to predict when inspiration will strike. However, it's made easier by the eight long weekend days that Iress provides. The long weekends provide employees with additional opportunities to take a breather, focus on themselves and their interests, and to maintain a healthy balance in all aspects of their lives. It's enabled Gareth to spend more time on his passion of music, when inspiration strikes.
