Company Earns Recognition for Second
Straight Year
RESTON,
Va., Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Forbes has
named global consulting and technology services provider ICF
(NASDAQ:ICFI) one of America's Best Employers for Women for the
second straight year.
"At ICF, we strive every day to sustain a culture in which women
are empowered to lead, learn and, most importantly, thrive," said
John Wasson, ICF chair and chief
executive officer. "This recognition is a testament to our ongoing
commitment to support women across ICF with programs, policies and
initiatives that provide them with career growth opportunities,
mentorship, pay equity, health and well-being benefits including
flexible work and family support to help working mothers, access to
reproductive healthcare, and much more. We will continue to enrich
the ICF employee experience through a diverse, equitable and
inclusive culture."
ICF works every day to ensure every team member feels respected,
included and heard. Women make up 55% of ICF's full employee base,
and the company has strong representation of women at all levels.
Additionally, ICF's internal women's affinity group provides
employees with opportunities for networking, mentorship,
professional development, community outreach and more.
Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey
60,000 U.S. employees—40,000 women and 20,000 men—at companies with
at least 1,000 employees. Respondents were asked to rate their
organizations on criteria such as working environment, salary,
employee diversity and their likelihood of recommending their
employer to others. Responses were compared between genders to
assess any significant differences in workplace perception.
Women were then asked to rate their employers on factors such as
pay equity, parental leave policies, leadership training programs
for women, representation of women in upper management and employer
response to incidents of discrimination. Further research was
conducted to identify each company's percentage of women in
executive management or board positions. These categories were then
evaluated and combined to create a final score, with the final list
recognizing the 400 employers that received the highest scores.
In 2023, ICF was also included on Forbes' America's Best
Management Consulting Firms list, for the eighth straight year, and
its Best Employers for Diversity list, for the third straight
year.

impact. The company combines deep domain expertise with
