New, enhanced employee benefits announced by Goldman Sachs

In a bid to attract and keep employees, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. announced additional employee benefits — many geared toward making it easier for employees to take time off. These new benefits, shared in a memo to employees and media, are part of an effort to appeal to workers and address burnout at a time when many are re-evaluating their careers due to the pandemic.

Goldman Sachs is introducing paid leave for pregnancy loss and expanding the amount of time employees can use for bereavement leave. A six-week unpaid sabbatical also is now available for long-term employees.
