Goldman Sachs has told London staff that only essential employees should come into the office, as large investment banks prepare to overhaul their workforces again in the wake of a fresh nationwide Covid-19 lockdown in the UK.
The bank will “continue with our in-office essential approach announced in December”, said an internal memo sent by Goldman Sachs International chief executive, Richard Gnodde, on 4 January seen by Financial News. The bank will need to follow an approach that demands “caution and flexibility from all of us”, the memo added.
