The music awards show is adopting an 'inclusion rider,' which obliges the production company to hire a diverse team of on-stage and off-stage members.

The Grammy Awards show has committed to hiring a diverse team of people working on and off stage to produce the highest honors in the music industry, organizers said on Wednesday, August 4.

The inclusion rider will oblige the company that produces the show to"make its best effort to recruit, audition, interview, and hire on-stage and off-stage people who have been historically and systematically excluded from the industry." The move is part of wider efforts to elevate Black voices at all levels of the music business following a cultural reckoning spurred by the 2020 nationwide protests over systemic racism in the United States.

Inclusion riders were first adopted in the film and television industry some three years ago as contract extensions that stipulate the numbers of women and people of color working in front of and behind the camera on individual projects. They have since been extended to cover age, disability and sexual orientation.
