At Salesforce, our vision is simple \u2014 to become the most inclusive company. To do this, we need to accelerate representation and hone in on the employee experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know when we\u2019re highly intentional about our focus, change happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting in 2019, we published three representation goals<\/a> to drive transparency and accountability toward our equality efforts. I\u2019m proud that we\u2019ve met two of those goals early, doubling U.S. representation of Black leaders (VP and above) and increasing representation of underrepresented groups to more than half of our U.S. population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are continuously evaluating new goals to continue to drive progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increasing gender diversity with a new representation goal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, we published<\/a> our latest representation goal: to reach 40% women identifying and non-binary employees globally by the end of 2026. This multi-year commitment builds on our ESG representation goals<\/a>, and allows us to think not only about how we\u2019ll continue to drive current gender diversity among our 77,000 employees worldwide, but also into the future as we continue to grow at scale. In the past year alone, we\u2019ve hired more than 20,000 people. This is made more complex by our macro environment and looming recession, but no matter what is happening in the world, our commitment to equality doesn\u2019t waiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to move the needle at a high-growth company of our size, we are reimagining how, when, and where we hire \u2014 with equality at the center of our processes. We are building out the levers needed to achieve our goal, including dedicated resources and programs to reach more women and members of the non-binary community, and key investments in our global team and strategies to ensure our approach is localized in each region where we operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, we also began tying executive compensation to representation goals<\/a>, so everyone is accountable for driving this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving gender inclusion requires a focus on employee experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

True representation goes beyond hiring \u2014 it\u2019s about the experience of each and every employee. In order to create an environment where women and non-binary employees can thrive, we\u2019re focused on a few key initiatives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
