If your business is reopening, Salesforce announced a new platform to help companies safely do so in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
Instructions are clear: If possible, stay at home in a bid to limit the spread of COVID-19 and reduce your risk of catching or carrying it, but CEO Marc Benioff knows some essential companies need to do return to work while the virus still exists, so employers need to prepare. This is why Salesforce has announced Work.com, aimed at helping businesses safely reopen during the pandemic.
Work.com will allow employers to track employee health through surveys and organize employee shifts to maintain social distancing. It will also have a resource center with information from health experts and business leaders, such as the Business Roundtable and the University of California San Francisco. The company will introduce contact tracing to allow companies to reach out to those who were around a sick employee.
CEO Marc Benioff told CNBC’s Squawk on the Street: “When we go back to work there’s things we’re going to have to do differently (…) “(At Salesforce) We can do things to help people be safer at the office,” Benioff added.
PR Newswire added that this Salesforce product targets employee engagement in three areas: alignment of team and personal goals with business goals, motivation through public recognition and real-time performance feedback. Work.com also includes new solutions to accelerate private and public sector response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including employee wellness assessment; shift management; contact tracing; emergency response management; and grants and volunteer management. The Work.com Command Center brings all data streams together so that businesses and communities can make more informed decisions. Work.com also brings together the full power of health experts, business leaders and the Salesforce ecosystem in a resource center informed by the Business Roundtable and the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) with insights from business, health and government leaders as well as analysis, best practices and recovery stories from our trusted partner ecosystem.
