Goldman Sachs employs around 6,000 people on the UK

Leading investment bank Goldman Sachs is to offer its London staff “emergency nannies” as part of an initiative to cut the company’s 55% gender pay gap.

The US-based multinational firm will give each of its 6,000 workers in the UK up to 20 days of emergency care per dependant each year, the London Evening Standard reports. This includes an in-home nanny service for ill children who are unable to attend school, and carers will be made available to take care of adult dependents.
