NBC Universal's Inclusive Culture
NBC Universal is committed to attracting and retaining the best and most diverse talent. Doing so provides a secure, powerful and competitive advantage in the media and entertainment industry. As part of this commitment NBC Universal established the Diversity Council in 2000. Made up of leaders from across the company, the Council has made strides in increasing diversity and creating programs that encourage diverse individuals to pursue careers in media and entertainment or explore business opportunities with the company.
In January 2007, Jeff Zucker, NBC Universal’s President & CEO identified diversity as one of NBCU's five key business imperatives and in May of the same year, named Paula Madison as the EVP, Diversity & Chief Diversity Officer – the first time in the company’s history that a senior executive has been charged with diversity as his or her sole responsibility.
The company is committed to increasing diversity both on the air and behind the scenes. NBC Universal gives motivated employees the resources and opportunities to develop and succeed. Among the inclusive strategies are: internships, early career pipeline programs (Page Program, Associates Program, GE Leadership Programs), Taller Telemundo, Directors In Training, Writers on the Verge, Emma Bowen Foundation, Talent Diversity Initiative, Diversity Initiative for Writers, Supplier Diversity, and Affinity/Networking Groups (African American Forum, Asian Pacific American Forum, Women’s Network, Hispanic Forum, OUT@NBCU), among others.
