Royal Caribbean's associate vice president and general manager of Royal Caribbean in UK and Ireland Jo Rzymowska spoke at the Association of Women Travel Executive’s Sunset Cruise and she emphasized the importance of diversity in the workplace.
When Rzymowska says diversity, she's talking about age, gender and experience diversity as the key tools to make a business successful and not gender quotas for the board.
“I feel strongly that women should earn their way onto the board, rather than through quotas. It’s not about how many women or men there are but about the diversity of the team.Too much of one thing isn’t good for you. Diversity of team, age, experience and new blood – that’s what makes a business.”
“There are lots of women in senior roles in cruise. Being a woman hasn’t hindered or helped me. Age and gender don’t matter. It depends how valuable you are to the company you work for.”
