Creating a unified HR experience for NBCUniversal’s global workforce

NBCUniversal hired Algoworks to to modernize its legacy HR portal into a modern, mobile-friendly experience. Built for a global workforce, the new platform simplifies how employees and managers access information, bringing clarity, speed, and consistency to everyday HR interactions.

Connecting people, processes, and data across a complex global enterprise

NBCUniversal operates across a vast ecosystem spanning cable networks, film studios, theme parks and a major streaming platform. With a global workforce and data spread across numerous systems, the company needed a centralized HR dashboard that could serve both employees and managers.

The legacy portal was underused due to poor usability and limited functionality. NBCUniversal wanted a new experience that was intuitive, mobile-friendly and capable of integrating with 10+ backend systems including SAP.

Building a flexible, integrated portal designed for scale and performance

Algoworks collaborated with multiple NBCUniversal business units to design and build the Now Portal from the ground up. The new platform provides a single, intuitive destination for employees to manage personal information, access learning resources, explore career development tools, and handle expenses within one cohesive experience.

Real-time integrations connect data from multiple enterprise systems, supported by an extensible backend architecture that allows the platform to evolve as business needs grow.

A people-first platform that powers visibility and connection

The Now Portal has become a cornerstone of NBCUniversal’s employee experience, improving transparency and streamlining daily workflows. Employees can complete HR tasks in fewer steps, while managers gain real-time insight into their teams through a system that scales effortlessly with the organization.
