Over the past few months, we\u2019ve had so many great opportunities for the Salesforce community to connect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June, we came together to recognize Juneteenth<\/a>. We also celebrated our LGBTQ+ community during Pride<\/a> month \u2014 our theme, \u201cUnstoppable Together\u201d was truly on display as we marched in Barcelona, Dublin, Mexico City, and the U.S. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July, we celebrated our global Indigenous community with our WINDforce Equality Group<\/a>, and in August, our Genforce Equality Group led conversations on the importance of empowering and unifying people from all generations. This month, we\u2019re excited to come together as we honor and celebrate Latinx & Hispanic Heritage Month<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we can\u2019t talk about these positive moments without recognizing the ongoing crises that continue to create uncertainty for so many. From the ongoing war in Ukraine, to the global economic outlook, to the infringement of safety and rights for women and members of the LGBTQ+ community. These moments require a focus on deepening our connections to one another and taking action that helps further our goals of greater equality for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming the most inclusive company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to become the most inclusive company \u2014 not just because it is the right thing to do, but because it leads to increased innovation and better results. That\u2019s why we are reimagining our systems and processes<\/a>, approaching equality from a global lens, and making policy changes to better support our employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This quarter, we announced a new representation goal of reaching 40% women-identifying and non-binary employees globally<\/a> by the end of 2026. This goal goes hand-in-hand with our existing representation goals<\/a>, and will help us stay focused on accelerating representation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hard work of many people working all across Salesforce to reach these goals has paid off. In February, we met our goal of reaching 50% underrepresented groups in the U.S.<\/a> a year early, and we just met another goal early, <\/strong>doubling U.S. representation<\/strong><\/a> of Black leadership (VP and above) since 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that representation is not only about hiring, but also about the employee experience, which we are deeply focused on. To become the most inclusive company, we\u2019ll continue listening to our people and taking action to offer meaningful support. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Salesforce supports its people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our People programs continue to have a measurable impact on the employee experience, as well as on employee growth and development at Salesforce. This quarter, we have made progress across a number of programs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
