IFS strengthens Executive Leadership Team to build on growth momentum

London, UK, January 10, 2022 – IFS, the global cloud enterprise software company, today announces the appointment of Kate Bishop as Chief Human Resource Officer. In her role, Bishop will ensure that all aspects of IFS’s HR strategy are future-focused and support the company’s growth plans. Bishop joins the IFS Executive Leadership Team in a period of strong organic and inorganic growth and will continue to drive alignment of the HR function to the global business strategy.

As well as focusing on all aspects of the employee lifecycle and shaping the company’s vision for diversity and inclusion, Bishop will steer the people strategy to support Merger and Acquisition activities and ensure that IFS continues to deliver amazing Moments of Service™ to its current and future employees and, ultimately, to customers.

IFS has created momentum as an employer of choice, earning multiple Employer of the Year accolades over the years and earning strong ratings on the employee advocacy portal Glassdoor; combined with its twice-yearly employee Heartbeat survey, this evidences IFS’s ongoing commitment to employee engagement, a key strategic goal and metric.

It also means there is an opportunity for us to keep building on how IFS team members can contribute to and influence the culture. Together, we can raise this bar even further and make IFS the company everyone wants to join and stay with to grow, learn and further their careers. This goes beyond job roles and salaries and is about listening to our people, encouraging a growth mindset and showing the IFS will invest to help people grow and thrive.”
