How Salesforce is delivering success from anywhere<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to believe that a year ago we were just beginning a journey that would forever alter our future. The way we live and work has changed dramatically. We\u2019re now delivering customer success, operating our business, delivering employee success and working more sustainably<\/a> \u2014 all from anywhere. And we’re not going back to the way it was. We’re in a new world and Salesforce is uniquely positioned to be a leader in this world by using our own technology like Work.com<\/a> and our expertise. We have an opportunity to create a workspace and an employee experience that makes us even more connected, healthy, innovative and productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, we shared our vision<\/a> for work in this new digital-first world. And now, we\u2019ve reached another important milestone in our journey: reopening our offices in the U.S. and around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first U.S. office reopening will be Salesforce Tower San Francisco, our headquarters and largest presence, in May. As part of our ongoing commitment to the Bay Area, we\u2019re also  donating $1.5 million to address homelessness<\/a>. At the same time, we\u2019ll open our offices in Palo Alto and Irvine, Calif, with more in the coming months. Yet regardless of whether a local office has reopened, we\u2019re now extending the option to all of our employees to continue working from home through at least December 31, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we\u2019re excited for this next phase, this is not the beginning of our reopening journey. We\u2019ve already safely opened 22 offices<\/a> \u2014 including two in Israel today \u2014 using our Success from Anywhere return-to-work model. And since the beginning of the pandemic, we’ve safely had business-critical employees onsite to keep our operations running successfully. Now we\u2019re using those learnings to inform our reopening efforts in the U.S. and in other parts of the world \u2014 not just at Salesforce, but to help our customers and other organizations looking to safely reopen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Sydney, for example, we welcomed back hundreds of employees safely and productively, starting in August 2020. This has been teaching us a lot about this new way of working:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
