OAKLAND, Calif.: San Francisco-based business software maker Salesforce says it will let most of its employees work remotely even after the pandemic, at least for part of the week. Other major tech companies such as Twitter and Google have made similar announcements.
Salesforce, which is the citys largest private employer, said Tuesday that it will let most of its employers work from home at least part-time permanently. This means people will be in the office anywhere from one to three days a week. Employees who dont live near an office or have roles that dont require an office will work remotely full-time, Salesforce said.
Some workers whose jobs require them to be in a physical office will continue to go in to work.
Salesforce said its work-from-anywhere plan offers the company better ways to broaden its workforce to new geographies and new communities beyond traditional city centers.”
And creating more flexible schedules removes hurdles that may make it more difficult to be in the office daily from picking up kids to caring for sick family members,” the company said on its website.
Salesforce said it made the decision based on feedback from employees. While 80% of its workers surveyed wanted to have some connection to a physical office, nearly half said they wanted to go in only a few times a month.
