TOPICS:

Salesforce declares the 9-to-5 workday dead, will let some employees work remotely from now on

So we are giving employees flexibility in how, when and where they work with three ways of working:

* Flex – When it’s safe to return to the office, most of our employees around the globe will work flex. This means they’ll be in the office 1-3 days per week for team collaboration, customer meetings, and presentations.* Fully Remote – For employees who don’t live near an office or have roles that don’t require an office, they will work remotely full-time.* Office-based – The smallest population of our workforce will work from an office location 4-5 days per week if they’re in roles that require it.
