If you’ve been following Salesforce, you might have heard us refer to our “Salesforce community.” What is that and why is it important to us? If you’re looking for the one overarching concept that makes Salesforce a great place to work, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better answer than community.
Marc Benioff and Hawai’i
Salesforce Chair and CEO Marc Benioff has been a part of the Hawai’i community for 25 years, where he learned about the concept of ‘Ohana. In Hawaiian culture, ‘Ohana represents the idea that families — blood-related, adopted, or intentional — are bound together, and that family members are responsible for one another.
