EmbRACE - Employee Resource Group

                 EmbRACE at ICON

EmbRACE is a community group supporting all race and ethnic backgrounds in creating an inclusive workplace culture. Our ambition is to build a culture that is inclusive, collaborative and accountable, supporting all our people and removing barriers that prevent them from doing their best work and being their true selves at ICON.  

It's about starting conversations on sensitive issues that may seem uncomfortable at first but will drive positive change for all of us. Encouraging employees to “OWN” their responsibility to promote an equitable and safe work environment for all.

Our Mission

                                                                                                                                                                                                      To embRACE and celebrate our cultural and ethnic diversity at every level of ICON.
