Bankers returning on Monday to Goldman Sachs' £1bn London head office will be required to wear masks in the building despite the easing of government rules.pgslot
However, unlike some competitors, Goldman will not require staff to be vaccinated to come into work.
It hopes 70% of UK staff will return to the office in the coming weeks.
The boss of Goldman Sachs International Richard Gnodde said the company remained as committed to its London head office as ever.
Mr Gnodde told the BBC: "The center of gravity for our workforce is going to be in our buildings and it will be in this building.
"Our focus is very much on securing a safe workplace. People will still be wearing masks in the building."
He said the bank would not insist on people being vaccinated in order to come in, nor would they force people to return if they felt uncomfortable doing so: "[We will] continue to manage our exit from this in a cautious and appropriate way to make sure that our people feel comfortable."
Financial services is a crown jewel in the UK economy and contributes 12% of all taxes paid in the UK.
Since the Brexit vote, more than £1tn of customer and company money, trillions more in transaction volumes and an estimated 8,000 jobs have left the capital. This has left some questioning whether that crown was in danger of slipping.
On the day real royalty in the shape of Prince Charles visited Goldman's offices, Mr Gnodde told the BBC that the future for London remains bright.作者: martina28043 時間: 2021-7-18 11:06
