Description

Salesforce said it 'no longer makes sense' to expect employees to work in the office eight hours a day and still do their best work.

Summary

  • In a blog post published on February 9, Brent Hyder, chief people officer of the cloud CRM giant, said it "no longer makes sense to expect employees to work an eight-hour shift and do their jobs successfully," and that employees would be given more flexibility in how, when and where they worked going forward.
  • Similarly, a small portion of the workforce that needs to be in an office to perform their role will remain office-based four to five days a week. "
  • Gone are the days of a sea of desks — we'll create more collaboration and breakout spaces to foster the human connection that can't be replicated remotely," he said, adding that health and safety would be a top priority as offices did reopen for those who needed them.
