Personal Development
We understand that balancing complex and sometimes competing demands of careers and personal lives can be difficult. To help our employees meet this challenge, we have created a strong platform of life balance policies and programs that include several truly innovative initiatives.
Flexible Work Arrangements
While the majority of our employees work traditional hours — often dictated by the demands of the securities markets — we also provide an array of flexible work arrangements. These include:
- Reduced Work Week
- Compressed Work Week
- Flextime
- Full-time, five-day schedule with flexible starting and ending times.
- Telecommuting/Flexspace
- Working remotely, either full time or part time.
- Job Sharing
- Two employees who share the responsibilities of one full-time job.
Backup Child Care
We understand that parents of young children sometimes experience temporary disruptions to their child care arrangements. Therefore we provide backup child care facilities in many of our offices.
Comprehensive Benefits
Lehman Brothers employees enjoy generous benefits packages that are fully competitive with those of other global investment banks. In many aspects, we lead the industry. For example, we are one of the few banks to offer domestic partner benefits in every location where we do business around the globe.

Lehman Brothers Encore®
The Lehman Brothers Encore® program (“Encore”) is the Firm’s global initiative designed to facilitate networking and professional development opportunities for individuals interested in resuming their careers in the financial services industry. Ideal candidates are women and men, preferably with industry-related experience at a vice-president level or above, who have voluntarily left the workforce for a year or more.
Encore is an outgrowth of the “Off-Ramps and On-Ramps” study, published in March 2005 by the Harvard Business Review. This study, co-sponsored by Lehman Brothers, focused on the challenges women face as they strive to re-enter the workforce after having taken time off to raise children, care for elderly family members or address other life responsibilities.
