Carnival Corporation announced it was named for the third consecutive year as one of the World's Best Employers for 2023 by Forbes. Carnival Corporation was recognized among the top 700 international employers from over 20 major industries for successfully cultivating a positive workplace environment across work-life balance, career advancement opportunities and employee diversity.
The Forbes World's Best Employers list is not a mere popularity contest but a comprehensive evaluation process. It is based on feedback from more than 170,000 employees working part-time or full-time for global companies and institutions in 55 different countries. These employees were asked about their willingness to recommend their employers to friends and family and to rate their workplaces across various criteria. These criteria included image, economic footprint, talent development, gender equality, and social responsibility.
This survey also allows employees to rate other companies within their respective industries and countries, ensuring a balanced and unbiased assessment. Only the top 700 companies, out of the thousands surveyed, are honored as the World's Best Employers by Forbes. Carnival Corporation's inclusion on this list is a testament to its ongoing commitment to providing a positive and inclusive work atmosphere.
Bettina Deynes, the global chief human resources officer for Carnival Corporation, emphasized the pivotal role that their employees play in the company's success. She stated, "Our highly talented global team of shipboard and shoreside employees are at the heart of everything we do, and we want to make sure we are fostering an environment where people from all different backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life can thrive." Carnival Corporation's continued focus on nurturing a positive company culture and driving career growth initiatives is clearly reflected in its Forbes recognition.
Carnival Corporation's achievement as one of the World's Best Employers aligns with a series of other distinguished accolades. In 2022, the company was honored as one of the Best Companies for Latinos by Latino Leaders Magazine and achieved a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2022 Corporate Equality Index. This designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality marked the sixth consecutive year of recognition, reaffirming the company's dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
