 2024 to cultivate a culture of sponsorship and maximize formal sponsorship relationships broadly across the organization. Offering Benefits to Further Our Commitment We offer employee benefit solutions, including both health care and retirement benefits, where applicable; fitness club reimbursement; life insurance; and an Employee Assistance Program to support well-being. Benefit competitiveness and design is assessed for a given country, and offerings reflect our global principles and local market practice. For example, retirement programs are uniquely designed to support associates in meeting retirement goals while also reflecting regional and country-specific practices in APAC, EMEA, and North America. Focus on Family We have always emphasized the importance of spending quality time away from work. In addition to generous vacation time, the firm offers fully paid maternity leave for birth mothers and fully paid parental leave to all new mothers and fathers. We also provide adoption assistance to associates looking to expand their families. In the U.S., the UK, and Canada, we offer our associates backup childcare and elder care. We also launched an APAC Family Program working group designed to support working parents and caregivers throughout the region in the workplace.
