By putting their people first, Salesforce – the No. 1 Super-Large UK’s Best Workplace™ – is able to keep employees engaged, grow their wellbeing culture and show continuous caring for their global workforce.
Making home a 'great place to work'
The coronavirus pandemic has resulted in entire workforces dealing with an extended at-home working period, but not everyone’s home is entirely fit for purpose. Salesforce proactively enabled their teams across the globe to create a more comfortable work-from-home environment at the start of the crisis. All full-time and part-time employees were supported in purchasing office equipment that would help make their home a great place to work.
Staying Connected
The Executive Leadership Team hosts a weekly All Hands call with the entire global workforce to discuss what’s top of mind and take employee questions. Salesforce also launched new wellbeing surveys, including a daily pulse survey, to gain insight into how employees are feeling during this unique time. The executive leadership team reviews the results and determines next steps to address pain points.
