Why is Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging important to ICON?
In this video, ICON leaders across the globe share their personal perspectives on why diversity and inclusion are essential to the company’s success.
Through self-recorded responses, each leader explains how fostering a culture of belonging empowers employees, enhances creativity, and drives innovation across ICON.
Our DIB Strategy revolves around four key ambitions:
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™
“In January 2024, I was pleased to sign the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion™ pledge, joining more than 2,500 CEOs in the largest business-led initiative to advance DIB in the workplace. At ICON, we consider our people to be our greatest assets. Likewise, our diversity initiatives are essential for our people’s success, creating an environment where voices are heard and valued.

ICON's Community Groups
ICON’s community groups are another way in which we promote diversity, inclusion and belonging by bringing together employees with common identities and interests.
SPACE – Supporting Parents & Carers Everywhere
NOW – Networking Organisation for Women
EmbRACE – Ethnicity & Race
DAWN – Disability Awareness Network
PRIDE – Supporting the LGBTQ+ Community
“From my own personal perspective, the ICON Pride Community Group has provided me the invaluable opportunity to build relationships and my network and to help energise forward momentum. As an out leader for over 20 years, I know that being visible and providing a safe place to be yourself was key to my own flourishing, both personally and professionally. Being part of the PRIDE Community Group, and the programs and events that are created does good service to yourself and your colleagues.”
Roger
Director, Clinical Operations
“When I joined ICON, I wanted to be part of a work culture that is inclusive, collaborative, and accountable, supporting all our people and removing barriers that prevent them from being their true selves. That is why I joined EmbRACE. It was here that I discovered the PRIDE group. I joined to learn more about ICON and their initiatives in the LGBTQ+ community. Being part of this community has allowed me to understand and appreciate the efforts ICON makes to support and celebrate LGBTQ+ individuals. It has been an enriching experience to see how ICON not only values diversity but actively promotes it, creating a welcoming environment for everyone. I am proud to be part of an organization that prioritizes inclusivity and respect for all.”
Miguel
Senior Manager, Clinical Operations
“There are people that have and continue to inspire me every day at ICON. I work alongside leaders who set an example - whether that be by providing job training and coaching, or simply their humanness and kindness. These are people who set the bar very high.”
