Comcast and NBC Universal will increase Latino representation at all levels of their respective organizations, paying particular attention to senior management, mid-level management, entry-level employment opportunities, and current employment levels. This commitment will ensure that Comcast and NBCU work closely with the Hispanic Advisory Council to identify recruiters and candidates to join the new entity, says a posting made by Susan Gonzáles, Senior Director, Federal and External Affairs, in Public Policy at Comcast and Paula Madison, Executive Vice President of NBCU. As Comcast and NBCU plan ahead, the leaders of both companies are reaching out to their respective diversity partners to understand what opportunities can be created as a result of the new venture. As part of this effort, we worked with Hispanic leaders representing numerous community organizations around the country on an agreement that addresses opportunities for Latino communities. National leaders in the Hispanic community and Congressional Hispanic Caucus leadership were instrumental as facilitators and resources as we discussed the Comcast/GE joint venture relating to NBCU and opportunities for the Hispanic community says the blog.The agreement is intended to cover all of Comcasts major operating subsidiaries, including Comcast Cable and Comcasts programming assets, which upon closing of the transaction with GE, will include NBC Universal and its major operating subsidiaries, including Universal Studios and Universal Theme Parks.
