NBCUniversal and Graebel Win Silver in Brandon Hall Group’s Excellence in Action Awards

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NBCUniversal (NBCU), in partnership with longtime global mobility partner Graebel Companies, Inc., won a coveted Brandon Hall Group Silver award for excellence in the Talent Mobility category. The 2025 Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Action Awards recognize organizations of all sizes and industries that are committed to enhancing employee engagement, fostering a people-centric culture, and enhancing productivity through employee feedback.

The award recognizes NBCU’s commitment to improving the relocation experience for its lump sum mobile employees. NBCU, which relocates hundreds of employees annually to support its global operations, identified an opportunity to evolve its lump sum relocation policy—preserving the flexibility valued by early-career hires while strengthening the guidance and support provided. NBCU turned to Graebel to serve as a strategic partner in co-designing solutions to improve the lump sum experience, specifically by enhancing Graebel’s CitySwitcher® digital move planning tool. By leveraging direct feedback from one-to-one interviews with NBCU employees, along with trends from more than 50,000 lump sum recipients across Graebel’s global client base, the teams designed a more guided, personalized relocation experience that connects employees with vetted suppliers, educational resources and expert support—reducing stress, increasing platform adoption, and positioning NBCU as an employer of choice.

“NBCU set a clear vision for a more supportive, tailored relocation experience and we were honored to help bring it to life,” said Ron Dunlap, CEO and President of Graebel. “Their leadership and feedback helped shape enhancements to CitySwitcher, ensuring employees receive educational resources and trusted support at every step. This Silver award celebrates NBCU’s commitment to their people—and the results that come from true partnership.”

Entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts, and executives based on initiatives, measurable impact, key metrics, employee testimonials and organizational impact stories.

“The Excellence in Action Awards honor organizations that have made extraordinary commitments to elevating their people. These winning programs demonstrate how thoughtful design, intentional culture-building, and authentic employee engagement can transform the workplace experience. Each honoree represents a powerful example of what it means to put people at the center of business success,” said Rachel Cooke, Brandon Hall Group Chief Operating Officer and leader of the Excellence Awards program.

The NBCU and Graebel win was announced on December 10, 2025; all winners are listed at https://excellenceawards.brandonhall.com/winners/. Excellence Award winners are scheduled to be honored at Brandon Hall Group’s Excellence Conference in February 2026.
