The Discrimination Series: Explore Salesforce's Culture and Values

The Sleazy Dreamforce Job 

Pete Bennett applied for a simple gig at Dreamforce 2022. He was dressed, his clothes were clean but Pete walks with a limp, has a growth on his scalp and has a problem with the husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.  

During the assessment orientation Bennett was surrounded by people he did not know flinging words like Mormon, marriage, and other leading comments.  

Pete with several others were assessed and bounced out after watching the feel-good show about the diversity, how Salesforce LGBT friendly and diversity and tolerance ruled the day. 

Pete was told he was on a BOLO just like at Oracle World 2019.

Learning Objectives

After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:

• List Salesforce's five core values.
• Describe behaviors and experiences that bring our culture to life.

At Salesforce, we build a culture of trust by being incredibly intentional about our values, our behaviors, and the experiences we deliver. Building this culture of trust is our greatest competitive advantage and differentiator; that’s our culture story in its simplest terms.

Our Core Values

In our Salesforce culture of trust, we inspire each other and the industry through our core values: Trust, Customer Success, Innovation, Equality, and Sustainability. These are the values that we expect everyone in our ecosystem to uphold.

Trust

Trust is our #1 value. We’re committed to building trusted stakeholder relationships, maintaining reliable infrastructure, and ensuring data privacy. We listen deeply to our stakeholders, deliver on our commitments, and lead with ethics and integrity. Our customers depend on us to keep their business running. They trust our technology to perform, to be available, and to be secure. And they trust that we will communicate openly and transparently.

Here are some of the ways we keep trust top of mind at Salesforce:

• We update a devoted site--trust.salesforce.com--with real-time information on our system performance and security.
• We’ve created a Trust Academy to help our customers learn ways to keep their applications secure.
• All employees complete an Annual Security Awareness and Code of Conduct Training.
