I’d implore every company in music (and beyond) to go out of their way to outline guidelines, policies and resources (i.e., paid leave, contributi­on to travel expenses) instead of putting employees in a position of having to ask. —Bronte Jane vp of A&R, Third Side Music As soon as the opinion was made official, we sent out a note affirming everyone’s right to control their own reproducti­ve health, and restating that our offices are a safe space for all of our people. We wanted to take immediate steps, which is why we’re supporting the Center for Reproducti­ve Rights and matching employee donations. We also expanded our health coverage so our employees and dependents can travel for medical procedures, and we made short-term disability immediatel­y available. In addition, we’ll cover any legal expenses arising from any action taken against those who access covered medical procedures. We want our people to know that they’re supported and that their well-being is our priority.

—Masha Osherova executive vp/chief people officer, Warner Music Group
