TORONTO, June 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Travelzoo® (NASDAQ:
TZOO), a global publisher of exclusive offers and experiences for
members, has announced a new partnership with nonprofit
organization Lean In Canada as
part of its long-standing commitment to advancing diversity and
inclusion in the workplace.
Through its work with Lean In Canada, Travelzoo seeks to empower employees
across its Vancouver and
Toronto offices with the advanced
knowledge and tools needed to succeed in the workplace. This
includes training for employees on topics such as unconscious bias,
as well as participation in the Lean In Canada Mentorship Program which gives junior
female employees at Travelzoo rare access to mentors in executive
leadership roles in other industries, to encourage diversity of
thought.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Lean In Canada," said Lara
Barlow, General Manager of Travelzoo in Canada. "Gender equality at work place
continues to be an important issue, and one that we cannot wait to
act on. At Travelzoo, we thrive to provide equal opportunities for
all employees by creating an open-minded, inclusive and diverse
working environment."
"We always look to partner with organizations that share our
values, and we are very excited about partnering with Travelzoo,"
said Beverly Altberg, Board
President of Lean In Canada. "We
love to work with companies that are committed to advancing gender
equality and we look forward to supporting the team at Travelzoo in
setting a high bar for the industry."
In May 2017, Travelzoo announced
it had become the only U.S.-listed company to have 80% of its board
seats held by women—the highest female-to-male ratio of any NASDAQ-
or NYSE-listed company. This landmark news was marked by a panel
discussion featuring Travelzoo's female board members and moderated
by Tina Brown—an event that won Gold at the Stevie Awards for Women
in Business later that year. Travelzoo's dedication to diversity
continues with the announcement of its partnership with Lean In
Canada.
"We are proud of Travelzoo's track record around gender
equality," added Barlow. "We believe that a more diverse workforce
will stimulate higher levels of creativity, and this will enable us
to better serve our members with more inspiring ideas and
irresistible travel offers."
To support diversity and inclusion in the workplace, please join
the Travelzoo family today!
