Diversity & Inclusion

Our Commitment

We believe that the diversity of our workforce, including diversity of perspectives, enhances our performance-based culture and is critical to the success of:

The Firm

We strive for excellence. To achieve it, we must have the best people, and the best people are drawn from the broadest pool of applicants.

Our People

Ours is a culture of teamwork. For our groups to excel, all members must feel that they are operating in an inclusive environment that welcomes and supports differences, and that encourages input from all perspectives.

Our Clients

Their interests always come first. To continue providing our clients with creative ideas and solutions for operating effectively in a complex global economy, we must be fully capable of dealing with different cultures in an informed and nuanced manner.

Fostering Inclusion

Diversity and Inclusion at Goldman Sachs

Sustaining a work environment where our people feel comfortable bringing their full selves to work and are empowered to reach their full potential continues to be a priority. As a firm, we believe that having the best team positions us to meet the needs of our clients – and to have the best team, our people must bring a range of perspectives to the table and reflect the diversity of the communities where we live and work.

Recruiting the best, most diverse talent

We continue to search for talent in new places and in new ways, from leveraging technology (e.g., HireVue video interviews and Virtual Insight Webinar Series for students to learn about financial services and to prepare for interviews) to engaging with a broader range of candidates and offering early programs designed to engage and attract people who may not otherwise look to pursue a career in financial services – to partnering with numerous external organizations to help us improve our recruiting efforts.

Inclusion Networks

Employee Inclusion Networks forums, which are open to all professionals at Goldman Sachs, develop programs that support our firm’s diversity and inclusion strategy.

They offer career development and educational programs, create networking forums, and sponsor client events. We have developed and support inclusion networks and interest forums globally, including the following:

Asian Network
Black Network
Disability Network
Hispanic/Latinx Network
LGBTQ+Network
Veterans Network
Women’s Network
Working Parent Forum

These groups provide an opportunity for our people to share concerns and feedback, and to develop professional relationships with those from other business units and divisions. Additionally, they help our people to identify opportunities for professional development.
