Goldman Sachs has introduced a global policy allowing new mothers and fathers at the company to take at least 20 weeks of paid parenting leave. The move was announced as part of a package of measures aimed at helping staff start families, which includes the Wall Street bank offering up to $20,000 for certain fertility treatments.

Under the plans, revealed on Monday, all new parents, whether through birth, surrogacy or adoption, will receive the same paid leave that applies to their office location, regardless of gender or caregiver status.
