ICON recognised as leading contract research organisation and employer by Scrip, Fierce Life Sciences, Financial Times and others

ICON finishes the second half of 2022 with an impressive line-up of awards that commend its healthcare intelligence work and status as an employer of choice, as independently judged by industry leaders and peers worldwide.

ICON plc, (NASDAQ: ICLR) a world-leading healthcare intelligence and clinical research organisation, has been recognised with a number of coveted business and industry awards over the second half of 2022 for delivering clinical research services, alongside specialist collaborations on data, analytics and digital healthcare.

The awards include the Best Contract Research Organisation – Full-Service Providers from Scrip, marking the second consecutive time after a win in 2021. Winners are chosen by an independent panel of industry experts, each chosen for their knowledge, objectivity and credibility.

ICON’s innovation capabilities were recognised as the company won the Data Analytics/Business Intelligence category in the Fierce Biotech Innovation Awards – Life Sciences 2022. The award was for ICON’s proprietary One Search tool, which uses intuitive, integrated workflow and artificial intelligence to provide access to multiple data sources to help identify optimum trial sites the first time.

In November, ICON was recognised in the Financial Times European Leader in Diversity 2023 Award List, ranked 80th out of 850 companies. The list is based on independent surveys of more than 100,000 employees across the continent. They were given the chance to evaluate their own employer’s diversity and inclusion practices and to give their perception of those adopted by other prominent employers in their respective industries. This follows recognition earlier in the year from Forbes as one of America’s Best Employers for Diversity for the second year running.

Overall, ICON was named on the 2022 Forbes World’s Best Employers List, which is based on a survey of 150,000 full-time and part-time workers from 57 countries.

ICON CEO Steve Cutler commented on the wide range of awards: “We are pleased to be recognised across the board by industry groups and leaders as we continue our focus on healthcare intelligence. To be recognised for innovations that drive clinical research forward, build an inclusive and diverse workplace and for strong collaboration with our customers is testament to the tireless efforts of our talented employees around the globe.”
