The past few years have kept us in a state of constant change. This has led to new opportunities \u2014 we\u2019re more productive <\/a>than ever before<\/a> and finding more balance \u2014 but also new challenges that many have dubbed the \u201cGreat Discontent<\/a>.\u201d Or, as I like to call it, the \u201cGreat Disconnect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some companies have mandated office returns to help remedy a lack of connection, research<\/a> shows office mandates can lead to employee disengagement and resentment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Salesforce, we\u2019ve never had office mandates, and we never will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, we took a beginner\u2019s mindset to figure out how to deliver incredible employee experiences in the changed world we live in today. For example, how do we drive connection if we\u2019re not together? How do leaders manage people through major societal moments? How do we recreate watercooler conversations digitally? By leading with flexibility and meeting the needs of our employees in the moment, we\u2019re helping deepen engagement, drive productivity, and build a more inclusive workforce. As a result, our most recent employee survey showed 94% of Salesforce team members are willing to give extra to get the job done, and 92% agree their team can work effectively in our flex environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All signs show we are headed in the right direction. Here\u2019s what we\u2019ve learned and where we\u2019re focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating meaningful employee connections through employee communities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Team connection is still the #1 ask from our employees. And new Salesforce research <\/a>found 7 in 10 U.S. workers feel motivated to do their best work when they feel connected to their company culture and values.<\/p>\n\n\n
