The Nine Muses Festival was founded in 2019 by Spotify, Kinnevik, MTG and Discovery, and later a partnership with Clear Channel. The flash behind the idea, the lyrics behind the melody, the view behind the picture…women have, throughout time, inspired and influenced the world in which we live.

Having a support network helps build resilience, which is one of the reasons that the Spotify HR team is actively working on further personalising our mental health support for band members. We subscribe to the idea that whilst individual support is extremely important, the benefits of social support, from those around you, is even more valuable when building up resilience and inclusion.  We also recognise that people from historically marginalised and underrepresented backgrounds are often disproportionately affected by the world’s uncertainties and instability due to a lack of awareness ..read more

Demystifying People First
Spotify HR Blog

Demystifying a concept will make it clearer and more understandable. The clearer and more understandable a concept is, the more accessible it is to people, and the more you can prevent it from being used against you. And before you can demystify a concept, you need to have a clear understanding of it yourself. It’s helpful to identify common misconceptions and to take note of what people often get wrong, or uncover what people might misuse to try to belittle something that is positive at its core. So let’s go back to basics on this one. Being a People First company means that the organisation ..read more

We know it makes sense for both our people and our business. As we gear up our talent bench for future challenges in times of resourcefulness, and we’ve rejected the ..read more

In recent years, the sustainability debate has been focused mainly on climate, and specifically on emissions of greenhouse gases. Whilst this remains as important as it ever has been, there’s a shift in narrative around sustainability, towards a more humanitarian mindset. There’s further recognition from around the world that we are facing not only a planetary crisis, but a human one that is interlinked with a wide range of issues. To encompass this, companies need to have a holistic approach to make progress. In terms of sustainability 2023 was a year of ups and downs, both of which set the s ..read more

Spotify HR Blog

In the dynamic world of business, there are a few trailblazing organisations that set the benchmark for company culture. They are the pioneers, the avant-garde, and the early adopters of innovative practices that leave others watching their moves with admiration. These companies have meticulously crafted their enviable culture—one that not only emphasises essential traits for success but also wholeheartedly embraces a people-first philosophy, enriching business theory and shaping its identity.

As we make plans and set our direction for this new year it makes a lot of sense for us to reflect on the past year so that we can make some learnings that help guide us on where to focus our efforts for 2024.  My thoughts undoubtedly go to Katarina’s bridge number 4: The Leadership Bridge.  As Katarina points out, there’s a transformation in leadership skills required in 2024. Leaders need a blend of new and enhanced abilities. However, when checking the pulse in the Leadership Development space it’s clear to see that many companies have cut back on learning budgets and leadership d ..read more

When it comes to parental leave benefits, Spotify is probably up there as having one of the best. We offer (all parents regardless of gender or sexual orientation) six months of fully paid time off to spend with their new family member. Something unique about this program is that we let employees take parental leave up until their child’s third birthday as well as all employees being eligible to take parental leave as soon as they join the company. Another very important feature of our parental leave plan is that we allow all employees one month of flexible work when they return, as we recogni ..read more
