However, the practice was reintroduced in 2022 as the firm resumed its standard assessment procedures.<br \/>&#8220;Our annual talent reviews are normal, standard and customary, but otherwise unremarkable.We expect to have more people working at Goldman Sachs in 2024 than 2023, a Goldman spokesperson told Reuters.<br \/>Goldman&#8217;s shares turned positive in afternoon trading and closed with a 0.6 per cent gain. The stock has experienced a remarkable 32 per cent surge this year, outperforming both the broader markets and an index tracking rival large-cap banks.<br \/>In the previous year, the exercise led to the termination of 1 per cent to 5 per cent of Goldman&#8217;s workforce. The extent of the cuts under Goldman&#8217;s strategic resource assessment has varied over time, depending on market conditions and the bank&#8217;s financial outlook.<br \/>As of June 30, Goldman&#8217;s global workforce consisted of 44,300 employees. The bank implemented several rounds of workforce reductions in 2023 due to a slowdown in dealmaking and higher-for-longer interest rates weighed on the macroeconomic outlook, Reuters reported.<br \/>However, the operating environment for banks has recently improved, with Goldman reporting a more than twofold increase in its second-quarter profit in July, driven by strong performance in debt underwriting and fixed-income trading. <br \/>The resilience of the US economy has instilled confidence in corporate executives to pursue deals, debt sales, and stock offerings. Nevertheless, dealmaking activity remains below historical averages, despite the industry-wide recovery.<br \/>Earlier, a Wall Street Journal report said that the layoffs, which have already begun, will continue through the fall and could affect more than 1300 employees, representing 3 per cent to 4 per cent of Goldman&#8217;s workforce. However, Goldman said in its statement that the numbers reported by the Journal were inaccurate.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
