MIAMI, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival
Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL;NYSE: CUK), the
world's largest cruise company, today announced it has been named
one of America's Best Large Employers of 2021 by Forbes, a leading
source of business news worldwide.
Presented in partnership with Statista Inc., a world-leading
statistics portal and industry ranking provider, the Forbes listing
of the best U.S. large employers is compiled annually based on
employee recommendations and public perception scores shared
anonymously. In Forbes' seventh annual survey, Carnival Corporation
– which has nine global cruise brands, including Carnival Cruise
Line, Cunard, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and Seabourn
in the U.S. – was among the top 500 employers with more than 5,000
employees. This marks the third year Carnival Corporation has been
recognized on the exclusive list of the best U.S. employers ranked
across a total of 25 industries.
"As a company, our highest responsibility and top
priorities are compliance, environmental protection and the health,
safety and well-being of our guests, the people in the communities
we visit, and our crew and shoreside employees," said Roger Frizzell, chief communications officer for
Carnival Corporation. "With these core values as our foundation, we
make it a priority to provide a supportive work environment,
operating with integrity, trust and respect for each other. We are
honored to be recognized once again by Forbes as one of America's
best large employers. This recognition underscores our deep
commitment to promoting a positive and empowering corporate culture
for all of our shipboard and shoreside employees, and our success
is a direct result of their commitment to consistently exceeding
the expectations of our guests."
In collaboration with Forbes, analytics firm Statista
independently surveyed 50,000 U.S. employees working for companies
with at least 1,000 people in their U.S. operations to compile the
exclusive listings of the 1,000 best large and midsized U.S.
employers. Respondents were asked to anonymously evaluate their
employers based on factors such as the willingness to recommend
their company to friends and family and the willingness to
recommend other employers in the same industry, along with a broad
range of work-related topics, including working conditions, salary,
potential for development and company image. Each company's score
was determined by direct and indirect employee feedback and public
perception scores.
In addition to the best large employers recognition from Forbes,
Carnival Corporation was recently named among the top U.S.
companies on Forbes' annual list of the Best Employers for
Diversity for the second consecutive year and to the media
company's listing of America's Best Employers for Women for
2020.
Most recently, Carnival Corporation was recognized for
its commitment to corporate social responsibility leadership by
Newsweek on its second annual list of America's Most Responsible
Companies for 2021 and was named a Glassdoor Employees' Choice
Award Winner honoring the best 100 U.S. places to work.
Additionally, Carnival Corporation earned a perfect score on the
Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2021 Corporate Equality Index,
designating the company as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality
for the fifth consecutive year.
