“Our results, amidst this global crisis, demonstrated our ability to execute at speed, innovate at scale and the strength of our business model,” said Marc Benioff, Chair & CEO, Salesforce. “We made long-term investments in keeping our employees safe, supporting our customers, delivering crucial innovation like Work.com, and helping our communities with PPE, grants, and technology. The pandemic showed us that digital is an imperative for every company, and we’re confident Salesforce will continue to accelerate as we bring our customers into the new normal.”

In response to COVID-19, Salesforce took the following actions in its fiscal first quarter to invest in its customers, employees and community during this unprecedented time, and to prepare for the future:

  • Launched Salesforce Care, a set of free rapid response solutions to help companies stay connected to their employees, customers and partners during the COVID-19 crisis
  • Created the Tableau Data Hub, a free resource to help companies and governments around the world see and understand data about the pandemic
  • Developed an online leadership program called Leading Through Change. The program highlights the work Salesforce customers have been doing during the crisis and has over 75 million views to date
  • Provided customers most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic temporary financial flexibility
  • Gave certainty to its sales team with a one-time guaranteed commission for the first quarter
  • Directed its global workforce to work from home and cancelled all business travel by employees for the foreseeable future
  • Committed to no significant layoffs for the first 90 days of the crisis
  • Launched B-Well Together for employees, a series focused on aligning the mind and body with leading well-being experts. Based on global demand, the company opened it to the public
  • Shifted customer, industry, and employee events to virtual-only experiences for the remainder of 2020
  • Donated more than $7.5M in grants to organizations on the front lines of the crisis in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Israel, Italy, Spain, France and Germany
  • Sourced more than 50 million units of PPE, such as masks, gowns, suits, and face shields for hospitals in the US, U.K., India and France

Salesforce continues to invest in its stakeholders. In the second fiscal quarter, the company introduced Work.com, new technology solutions and resources to help business and community leaders around the world reopen safely, re-skill employees and respond efficiently on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic. Work.com has generated enormous interest from businesses and governments and deepened partnerships with the world’s top system integrators and technology partners. For example, Workday recently announced that it will integrate its employee data directly into Work.com to make it easier for employers to centralize critical data and get their businesses up and running again.
