Talent Management
As a highly specialized company, we place a strong emphasis on both professional and personal development. Under the guidance of experts from our iCC University and iCC Academy, we offer an array of learning opportunities. Beyond product training, we also delve into areas such as data protection or CSR.
We follow the 70-20-10 approach: 70% of learning happens on the job, 20% through exchange with colleagues and mentors, and 10% in formal training. Our Excellence Model shows every employee what is expected in their role and which next steps are possible. Sustainability training is part of our onboarding.
Recognizing our rich cultural diversity, we offer language trainings to enhance inter-company cooperation and strengthen our community spirit. To further create a sense of belonging we welcome our new colleagues at our three-day “IAM Bootcamp”, which takes place multiple times per year. Here, newcomers receive deep insights into our organization, undergo technical IAM training, and are given a platform to connect, network and become a part of iC Consult.
Diversity
With colleagues from more than 50 nations, we consider ourselves a truly global company. We view the diversity of our colleagues, which brings with it unique perspectives and experiences, as one of our greatest assets. This diversity increases our ability to innovate, problem-solve and makes us more receptive to global trends.
Our stance on the significance of diversity is anchored in our Code of Conduct, which sets out our principles for ethical behavior. We reject any form of discrimination based on, but not limited to, age, gender, sexual orientation, cultural background, religion, or any other characteristics.
The Perfect Mix
For us, diversity is more than a buzzword – it’s a key part of who we are and how we work. At iC Consult, we strive to create a workplace that is built on respect and appreciation for everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity and nationality, sex and gender identity, physical and mental abilities, religion and worldview, sexual orientation, and social background
We believe that an inclusive and diverse workplace leads to:
- More innovation through different perspectives
- Stronger collaboration within teams
- Higher engagement and satisfaction across the board
- Equal opportunities for everyone
Diversity means embracing and valuing our differences in how we think, act, and work together.
We are a signatory of the Charta der Vielfalt (Diversity Charter) and renew this commitment every year. We support and enable all our employees to develop their careers. Hiring and promotion decisions are based on skills, experience and performance, and we do not give preferential treatment to any group.
Our industry has a narrow talent pool: only about 20% of employees in the IAM sector are women. Instead of a fixed quota, we train everyone involved in hiring and promotion decisions to recognize bias, we track representation every year and we analyze our gender pay gap.

Employee Representation
For us, maintaining an open dialogue between management and employees is essential, which is why we initiated the Ambassador program in 2014. Our “Ambassadors” serve as a primary point of contact for addressing employee concerns such as corporate culture, employee morale, work atmosphere, and the collaboration dynamics between staff and leadership.
Moreover, through annual surveys, the “Ambassadors” gain a deeper understanding of the aspirations and needs of our employees. Their findings guide us in continually refining and enhancing the iC Consult experience for everyone.
Every year, we ask our employees about their satisfaction and well-being. Our goal is to keep survey participation at 75% or more.
Safe Workplace Program
Our Safe Workplace Program gives employees and business partners a confidential way to raise concerns about conflict, discrimination, harassment or bullying. Concerns can be raised with the line manager, local HR, Talent and Development or our Ambassadors, or through the whistleblowing tool. Receipt is confirmed within 24 hours, a meeting takes place within five working days and follow-ups take place after 30 and 90 days.
