ICF International was awarded an
Honorable Mention in the November 2005 issue of Washingtonian magazine
as one of the “Great Places to Work
in 2005.”
Every two years, the magazine publishes
its list of employers in the Washington, D.C. area
who are currently hiring and are known for providing
the “best
pay and benefits, flexible schedules, interesting work,
and chances to grow,” as measured by a staff
survey, extensive nomination questionnaire, and facility
tour.

"More than 50 employers that
offer great pay and benefits, interesting work,
flexible schedules, and a chance to learn and
grow."

After reviewing more than 250 companies, the magazine honored
70, 15 of which were honorable mentions. The Washingtonian,
which listed ICF International under the heading “Think
Green,” stated:
"Employees at ICF International,
a management, technology, and policy consulting firm,
practice what they preach. Our tour took us through some
darkened hallways where lights had been turned off to save
energy. The company wins awards for recycling. And when
a manager had a baby, colleagues bought the boy a $200
sulfur-dioxide-emissions allowance, to keep industrial
emissions from the air."

In 2001, the magazine selected ICF International as one of the
"50
Great Places to Work" in the Washington area.
"It's not hard to come to work each day when you're
preventing pollution, conserving energy, and saving neighborhoods. ICF
is a for-profit company that works on socially conscious
issues. It is contracted with the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development on a program to close the digital
divide. The company is working with a handful of East Coast
states looking for ways to control smog. For the Washington
Council of Governments, it is providing technical expertise
for a program to encourage telecommuting.
On its staff are leading experts on renewable energy,
global warming, air quality, transportation, and affordable
housing. Any consulting business relies on people, and
ICF does its best to sustain its own resources. Among
the benefits: on-site massage and fitness center; flextime;
an Internal Talent Development program that offers 10
to 15 courses a month; and bonuses of $100 to $5,000
for publishing a letter to the editor, a newspaper or
magazine article, or a book. Further proof ICF is a good
place to work: Nearly 40 percent of hires are return
employees."
