will begin a “phased” reopening of its U.S. offices on Sept. 13, a source close to the situation confirms to. The announcement applies to the company’s main offices in Los Angeles , New York and Nashville; announcement was made via a memo from UMG’s Chief People & Inclusion Officer Eric Hutcherson.
Both Hutcherson and the source noted that the reopening will depend on guidelines from local officials, and at this early stage many details remain unclear: Whether the “phased” return will be based on departments, labels, floors, etc. Employees were strongly advised to keep most meetings remote, via Zoom or phone; employees are required to wear masks in the office.
Warner Music Group told its employees several months ago that it planned a phased return to its offices in September, a source tells, although those plans are also tentative based on guidelines from local officials; Sony Music’s plans were unclear at the time of this article’s publication.
