Empathy. The word, as we know, has been used many times, especially in 2020. We have heard of a new designation, Chief Happiness Officer as well! Wait. Isn’t this article supposed to be about the new remote work policy of Salesforce? What’s the connection?
To be precise, Salesforce was empathetic enough to consider its employees’ current situation. That is why Salesforce began its remote work journey. To be elaborate, 2020 drove all of us nuts. Some were laid off; some went bankrupt, while others who believe in “Survival of the latest” evolved with the times. Unlike 2020 that became the Titanic that sank for many, Salesforce sailed through the storm and now in 2021 is keeping everyone more than just safe.
It’s a Win-Win – Salesforce Remote Work Policy
It makes sense for Salesforce and its employees. Salesforce remote working style makes sense for the future. It is a move driven by current circumstances and the vision of the future. It is in the best interest of both the company and the employees. Here’s how they’re making sure that remote work takes center stage.
1. Flex
When the situation gets better, most of the Salesforce employees will be in the office only 1-3 days every week. This will primarily be for team collaboration, customer meetings, and presentations.
2. Fully Remote
The employees who don’t reside near their offices or have roles that don’t make their presence in the office a necessity will be able to work remotely full-time.
3. Office Based
There are very few roles that require an employee’s presence in the office. These employees will work from Salesforce offices 4-5 days every week.
It’s clear that Salesforce has embraced a flexible remote work policy that allows all employees to be safe, have a good work-life balance, and have a comfortable and promising career growth.
The offices that people will visit 1-3 days a week for collaborations are also seeing a redesign to accommodate a more “community” environment instead of the old cubicle/desk style.
