Morgan Stanley made sweeping changes to its employee benefits including increasing parental leave and allowing some employees to buy its stock at a 10% discount amid intense competition for talent.
The firm, flush with cash after a run of stellar profits, will give parents at least 16 weeks of paid leave -- a benefit that applies to births, adoptions, foster care or surrogacy, according to an internal memo obtained by Bloomberg.
