Carnival: Promoting Diversity, At Sea And Onshore
At Carnival Corporation we are committed to diversity in our employees and our leadership, and we are dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive workspace, both onboard and shoreside. Our employees are from more than 140 countries, and our guests come from virtually every country in the world. We bring them together to create unique and diverse communities onboard each of our 100-plus ships sailing to all seven continents and visiting more than 700 ports around the globe. Our diverse global workforce reflects the world we sail. It is the source of our innovation and the key to our success. We work together to create an environment where no one is judged for their appearance or harassed because of their position but celebrated for their character and for results achieved—and encouraged for their effort. Purposefully engineering diversity is also good business strategy. Business thrives over time through innovation, and innovation, by definition, is diversity of thinking—thinking outside the box. You’re far more likely to achieve sustained diversity of thinking—true innovation—with a truly diverse group of people. A diverse group of people, if properly aligned with work processes that foster true inclusion (equal voice and equal recognition), will outperform a homogeneous group of people nearly every time. At Carnival Corporation we aren’t just committed to diversity; we live it. I’m proud of the positive influence the cruise experience has in the world and for the role we are playing in bringing our world closer together today and in the future.
