Work-Life Balance — Market-Leading Parental Leave (the headline benefit)
Goldman Sachs introduced its current 26-week paid parental leave policy in 2019, providing up to 26 weeks of paid leave within 12 months of the birth or legal adoption of a child to every employee regardless of whether they are primary or secondary caregivers — full parity across all caregivers. The policy was a market-leading move in investment banking when introduced and remains one of the most generous in finance. Goldman Sachs was recognised by CNBC and Just Capital as one of the top US companies for working parents in 2024.
