You have such a passionate CEO and a lot of publicity around pay equity, but it’s such a systemic part of what you tried to do with Salesforce. What have you learned about sustaining that pay equity process? Not just a one time fix, but it’s so ingrained in how you think about the culture. You have some good insights.

When my colleague and I first went to my boss, CEO Mark Benioff of Salesforce a few years ago, it was part of what you referred to as a Women’s Surge program. How that really started was, he has quarterly very strategic management meetings. One meeting he looked around the room and he said “where are all the women in my company? Where are the high potential women leaders, heads of engineering, sales, marketing?” And he decided to mandate, going forward, that those meetings would hold 30% or more of women going forward. So it was kind of a call to action and shift in behavior. As we know it’s a tone from the top so it’s a trickle down from his team as well. 

Our deep expertise, powerful insights, and real-world solutions help the people and organizations we serve take steps today to secure a better tomorrow.
