Our Next Chapter of Equality at Salesforce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During my time at Salesforce, I\u2019ve been so inspired by the company\u2019s commitment to Equality and all of the people in our extended community who have paved the way to get us where we are today. We learned, we stumbled, we took risks \u2014 always guided by our values. I am honored to be able to continue the work as the newly appointed Chief <\/a>Equality Officer<\/a> as we evolve into this next chapter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last two years I\u2019ve watched our company, industry, and world grapple with some of the most difficult moments in recent history. Not only were we faced with a global pandemic that radically shifted the way we work and live \u2013 we also were faced with the reality of social injustices, racism, and hate \u2014 all made more visible by the disproportionate impact of the health crisis. Companies were called to action, and we chose to lead with our values while redefining what equality truly means to us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Black History Month, we reflect even more deeply on the historic events over the last two years and the long-standing history we still need to reconcile. We work together with our community to elevate Black Joy, Healing, and Justice<\/a> while finding ways to support Black talent in the workplace. As a company, we center our focus on racial equality, justice, equity, inclusion, and most importantly, doing the work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equality to us is about taking action<\/strong> toward becoming a workplace and world where everyone has equal access, opportunities, rights, and true justice. We recognize that involves focusing on equity, our systems, and community engagement. In this year\u2019s lookback of our fiscal year, we\u2019re sharing how this intentional focus has led to accelerated impact; and how we will continue to innovate and re-imagine this work as we grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representation Matters and It\u2019s About Hiring and<\/em> Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our aspiration is to create a workplace that looks like society and to do this we need to accelerate representation. In 2019, we set a goal to have 50% of our U.S. employees from underrepresented groups by 2023. We\u2019ve now met that goal nearly a full year early. Today, 50.7% of our U.S. employees are members of underrepresented groups.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a company we have three additional public representation goals to continue to accelerate this work, and we\u2019re evaluating new goals to help hold us accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n
