How do you support employees at Comcast?  There are multiple ways we aim to support our valued employees at Comcast. One is encouraging each employee to develop a career growth plan and update it often. A career growth plan helps employees keep track of where they want to go and what they want to achieve, as well as set personal goals that can set them up for the future. It’s a documented plan that recognizes and maintains areas of performance that are already solid and provides opportunities to develop professionally and learn new skills and behaviors. Mentorship also plays a large role in our company culture. When hired, employees can be paired with a mentor to guide their growth from the onset of their time in the company. Plus, we believe in supporting employees holistically, not just in terms of the tasks they are responsible for. To cultivate positive spaces within the company, Comcast offers Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups made up of members within certain communities so they have an inclusive and collaborative touchstone at Comcast. Examples of ERGs include Black Employee Network, OUT@Comcast and MyAbilities Network.   Once I’m employed at Comcast, what will I learn? As a large and multi-faceted organization, employees at Comcast have the benefit of internal access to any sector of work they may be interested in. If you start working at Comcast and want to learn more about another department or team, we will connect you to an employee who can teach you and mentor you. We love to hire internally, meaning you always have the option for career advancement. Comcast will also offer tuition assistance for employees interested in continuing education. We believe your success is synonymous with ours at Comcast and there are many different types of professional development opportunities available.   What kind of people do well at Comcast? We look for someone who wants to learn, isn’t afraid to ask questions and can hit the ground running. We don’t expect employees to be able to step into a role and know it all. We look for people who are willing to take the initiative to learn new skills and can use their existing skills to be successful at our company.
