ABSL DIAMONDS 2022:
Showcasing business resilience
The ABSL Diamond Awards are given annually to innovative projects that move the business services industry forward and serve as inspiration for the sector and beyond.
We are inviting innovators from business services to submit their projects by 31 October 2022. The jury will award the best initiatives in 7 categories.
Winning an ABSL Diamond in 2019 was industry recognition of ICON’s success as a provider of outsourced customer care services from the Czech Republic. The ABSL represents brands of the highest echelon, and the award helps cement ICON’s place amongst them.

For us, winning ABSL Diamond Awards was a sign to our business stakeholders that we chose the right direction and to our developers that they did a great job in developing such an automation.
Jaromín Staroba
As a B2B company and previously not quite known on the Czech labour market, winning ABSL Diamond Award helped us to gain more visibility. It’s was a great opportunity for benchmarking and networking. We also had an opportunity as a team to host an event and share more about the winning project.
