Warner Music UK yesterday announced it had appointed a Head Of Inclusion & Diversity. In the newly created role, Nina Bhagwat will be charged with the task of “developing the group’s inclusion and diversity strategy as well as overseeing policies and initiatives that will help drive attraction, progression, and engagement of talent from under-represented groups”. 

Bhagwat joins the mini-major from Channel 4 where she worked in the broadcaster’s diversity team. Commenting on her new job, she said yesterday: “It’s exciting and noteworthy that a company with the impact, influence and relevance of Warner Music is placing the inclusion and diversity agenda front and centre of who they are as a company. The team’s commitment to building an inclusive culture where all talent can flourish is clear, and I feel THRILLED to be able to join Warner on their journey”.

The new role will report into both Warner’s Chief Human Resources Officer Masha Osherova and its Chief Transformation Officer Mel Fox. The latter said of the need for a Head Of Inclusion & Diversity: “It’s vital our company reflects the diverse world we live in, and that means ensuring this is an environment where people with different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and ideas feel valued, supported and championed. The creation of this important new role underscores our commitment to that promise and strengthens our ability to deliver on it”.
