World's largest cruise company honored on
Newsweek's inaugural list recognizing the best companies in the
U.S. for cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace
MIAMI, Jan. 31,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Corporation & plc
(NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK), the world's largest cruise company,
today announced it was named to the first annual listing of
America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2023 by Newsweek. The
listing recognizes the best workplaces in the U.S. for their
operations, commitment to diversity, and success in cultivating an
inclusive working environment. Of the 1,000 top-performing
companies included on the list of America's Greatest Workplaces for
Diversity, Carnival Corporation was the only cruise company to earn
five stars, the highest possible score.
Presented by Newsweek and market research provider Plant-A
Insights Group, the listing of the best U.S. workplaces for
diversity was determined by a three-part evaluation scoring the top
companies that employees say respect and value different kinds of
people. In addition to extensive reviews of publicly available
data, the evaluation was based on interviews with human resource
professionals and an anonymous online survey of a diverse pool of
employees at U.S. companies with 1,000 or more employees.
Respondents were asked questions about corporate culture, working
environment, empowerment of women, opportunities for veterans, job
starters, and LGBTQ, and other subjects at both their own companies
and others they were familiar with. The independent study collected
over 350,000 company reviews.
"As a company, we have made it a priority to foster diversity,
equity and inclusion throughout all aspects of our operation, so we
are honored to be recognized by Newsweek alongside other companies
who share our same commitment," said Bettina Deynes, global chief human resources
officer for Carnival Corporation. "With a diverse workforce of
over 160,000 team members from approximately 150 different
countries, we know firsthand the power of diversity, equity and
inclusion. We understand that our team members are at the heart of
inspiring unforgettable happiness for our guests, so we strive to
ensure a welcoming and inclusive environment where people from
different backgrounds, experiences and walks of life can
succeed."
The recognition as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for
Diversity builds on a series of other distinguished honors Carnival
Corporation has earned for its companywide operations and
commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. In
2022, Carnival Corporation was named as one of the World's Best
Employers and as one of the Best Employers for Diversity by Forbes,
in addition to being named one of the Best Companies for Latinos by
Latino Leaders Magazine. Also in 2022, the company earned a perfect
score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2022 Corporate
Equality Index, designating the company as a Best Place to Work for
LGBTQ+ Equality for the sixth consecutive year.
Diversity, equity and inclusion have long been priorities at
Carnival Corporation and the company has intentionally engineered
opportunities for hiring, growth and advancement for all types of
individuals. The company champions all forms of diversity,
including gender, ethnicity, background, upbringing, education,
geographic origin and experience.
