At Comcast NBCUniversal, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are more than just a way for our people to make connections; they are an important part of our business strategy. Our ERGs create an environment where our employees can develop as professionals, and work collectively to effectuate positive change in the business to benefit our customers, audiences, and employees across the entire company.

Over the past five years, Comcast NBCUniversal's eight ERGs have grown to include more than 18,000 members across nearly 100 chapters.

Partners in Pursuit of Innovation

We believe that our products and services should be available for all people to enjoy, and we relentlessly pursue new ways to make our offerings accessible to all of our customers.

Our innovations don’t just provide customers with new ways to access thousands of shows and movies available through our X1 platform, they help empower people to achieve enhanced levels of independence. Comcast revolutionized the way blind and visually impaired customers navigate their television experience by launching the industry's first Talking Guide in 2014, and the Voice Control Remote in 2015. We haven't stopped innovating our groundbreaking X1 platform since.

Thanks in part to partnerships with the Unidos and MyAbilities Network ERGs, Comcast's Accessibility and Xfinity Multicultural Consumer Services teams gained valuable insight into how we can help audiences enjoy our offerings like never before with our voice-enabled television user interface. In September 2015, Comcast unveiled X1 En Español, a first-ever Spanish-language television interface, opening up new worlds of possibility for our Hispanic customers.

When the X1 interface is set to Spanish, the Voice Control Remote also recognizes commands in Spanish. This innovation offers Spanish-speaking customers greater flexibility to watch their favorite programming and discover new content, and continues to change the game for customers with disabilities and literacy challenges.
