Salesforce is adding fields to its core products that allow for more options when it comes to gender and pronouns.
Why it matters: The business software giant's move not only allows customers to better represent transgender and nonbinary people but also helps make gender-related data more accurate.
How it works: Salesforce is adding two new fields across its software wherever people are referenced, one to include pronouns and another for gender identity.
- The changes mean administrators don't need to add custom fields and opens up the potential for more standard data reporting across a wider range of gender identities.
- Salesforce worked with its inclusive language steering committee, including members of its own LGBTQ+ employee resource group, as well as with Out & Equal, a national nonprofit that specializes in LGBTQ+ inclusion.
Yes, but: Salesforce isn't requiring customers to collect such data, and indeed notes there may be instances where capturing data on gender isn't necessary or appropriate.
What they're saying: "At the end of the day, this is about more than inclusive language," Salesforce chief ethical and humane use officer Paula Goldman said in a statement to Axios. "It’s about giving businesses the tools to better understand and serve their diverse customer base."
Salesforce has added new fields for gender identity and pronoun data across its product line, to help customers be more inclusive when it comes to collecting and using personal data.
The firm has launched two new fields across the Lead, Contact and Person Account objects on Salesforce. This opt-in addition lets customers and their users select, identify and capture pronoun options like he/him, she/her, they/them, and gender identity options like male, female, non-binary. Both fields also offer a ‘not listed’ option.
The fields are part of Salesforce’s core objects, which means they are populated through most of its products and available by default.
Organizations from airlines to hotels, restaurants to government agencies and healthcare companies all need this type of personal data to be able to serve their customers accurately. Standardizing the fields removes the need for admins to create custom versions, so companies can capture more accurate customer data in a more efficient way.
However, there is no pressure on customers to use the fields, as Salesforce's Chief Ethical and Humane Use Officer, Paula Goldman, explains:
We understand this data can be sensitive, so we've designed it with a walkthrough process for admins setting this up. There's guidance that says you don't always need to be collecting this data. In fact, there are some times when it may not be as appropriate to collect this data. Then admins would choose to include it or not include it, as they're setting up various instances of Salesforce.
Collaboration
Salesforce worked in close contact with its Inclusive Language Steering Committee to develop the gender inclusive features. This included members of Outforce, the company’s LGBTQ+ employee resource group, and Out and Equal, an Oakland-based organization working on LGBTQ+ workplace equality.
Working in collaboration with relevant groups is a standard approach at Salesforce’s Office of Ethical and Humane Use. One of its core pillars is ethics and inclusion in Salesforce products, so the Office works hard to ensure the products the firm delivers are inclusive and accessible to all. Goldman says:
A core way we do that is knowing that I as an individual and my team, we don't have all the answers, and nor necessarily do the teams that are working on these specific products. Participation and gaining insight from folks that live these experiences directly is very important. That's why we worked both with our Employee Resource Group to understand first of all - what's the problem; second - what's the right solution, what's the right language to learn, which of these terms are the most important to address.
Similarly with outside experts, if our whole goal is inclusion in our product, then we need to be inclusive in the processes that lead to these outcomes as well. We need to be bringing in this expertise and designing based on that expertise.
Using the right identifiers is a key part of building trust with users, but the standard options in data systems and CRM tools don’t always capture peoples’ full identity, or make it simple to do so. By making these new fields available, firms can use the gender inclusive features they prefer, and if they don’t need or want to collect gender-related data, they can bypass the features. Goldman notes:
For airlines or hotels or restaurants, which are giving personalized experiences to their customers, they don't want to be making a mistake on sensitive data like this. They want to be giving the correct experiences to their customers and serving them well. If they were to make an error on something like this, you can imagine how that would break trust.
Conversely, when people feel included, they’re more likely to trust the company they're interacting with. Goldman adds:
Study after study shows that when people trust companies, they're willing to share more data. That in turn feeds a more accurate and trusted personalized experience with the company, which feeds the sort of data they're willing to share.
At a time when first-party data is so crucial for companies wanting to serve and market in different segments, this model creates a virtuous loop where they're going to have more customer loyalty and trust, and be able to better serve their customers.
Ethical
The new identity fields are part of Salesforce’s ongoing efforts to develop and promote ethical and inclusive technology. The firm had already made updates to its technical language in 2021 to address implicit bias and increase racial inclusivity. Goldman says:
We spent a long time remediating language in our code and our product around racial terms, like master and slave or blacklist and whitelist, and replacing those with more inclusive terms.
Ethics and inclusivity are embedded across product development at the company, she adds. For example, in the area of Artificial Intelligence, Salesforce aims to ensure that the data sets it’s using to train models are representative of the populations it’s serving and as free from bias as possible.
The firm also puts intentional defaults in its products to make them as inclusive as possible. During the pandemic, one of the products it was developing for vaccination campaigns offered default pick lists associated with that product type. Goldman adds:
We decided that we shouldn't make an address field mandatory for people that wanted to sign up for vaccine. Why? Because if you are unhoused, that might exclude you from getting access to the thing that you're signing up for. Oftentimes it's these small design decisions that can make a world of difference in how inclusive products are when they launch and are used in the world.
My take
A positive move.

On an otherwise run-of-the-mill weeknight at Fremont Brewing near Lake Union in Seattle, the line for beer stretched past the front doors and into the outdoor seating area.
The reason: A group of more than 50 past and current Tableau Software employees gathered last week to reflect on Tableau’s 19-year journey, more than three years after the data visualization technology company was acquired by San Francisco-based Salesforce for $15.7 billion.
The event, just down the street from Tableau’s Seattle headquarters, was described as an Irish wake, the traditional rite of mourning in which family and friends celebrate the life of the deceased.
“Tableau has been killed by Salesforce,” said Jeff Brinker, a former Tableau engineer. “We are mourning the loss of a loved one.”
Salesforce declined to comment on the record, but made clear that it considers the reports of Tableau’s death greatly exaggerated, or flat-out wrong. Tableau brought in more than $2 billion in revenue for Salesforce during the past 12 months, and the company has promised to continue developing Tableau’s technology.
But those who attended the wake cited factors including the impact of Salesforce’s latest overall 10% workforce reduction on many longtime Tableau employees and senior leaders, and a general sentiment that Tableau’s unique identity is becoming lost inside the customer relationship giant.
Tableau began as a startup inside Stanford University back in 2003, based on an idea to visualize huge amounts of data. Its co-founders raised a $5 million seed round a year later and relocated their budding firm to the Pacific Northwest, where it grew into one of the region’s top tech companies and went public in 2013.
After the layoffs started last month, many past and current Tableau employees connected online to offer help and support to those affected. A Tableau Slack workspace grew from 40 people in January to nearly 700.
Tableau workers call themselves the #DataFam. The name has carried a double meaning, describing both a love of data and also camaraderie among family members.
“Everybody was rowing in the same direction,” said Kevin Boske, a former senior project manager at Tableau. “It’s a very special place. I don’t expect to have this again in my lifetime.”
Some employees at the event last week said the culture shifted following the Salesforce acquisition. “It evaporated,” said a former worker who wished to remain anonymous.
Most of the Tableau executives listed on its leadership site when the acquisition was announced have left the company, Bloomberg reported.
Bloomberg also reported that Salesforce executives seem “less excited about Tableau than its other divisions,” citing mentions of Tableau on corporate event transcripts compared to Slack and Mulesoft, its other latest acquisitions.
Tableau is “more committed than ever to supporting and growing the DataFam,” wrote Francois Ajenstat, a longtime Tableau executive and chief product officer, in a blog post last month following the layoff announcement.
Ajenstat wrote that the company is adding more capabilities “across all of our products” and noted that the annual Tableau Conference is still planned for later this year. Tableau is integrated into Salesforce’s Customer 360 platform.
Tableau continues to face competition in the business intelligence software sector from Microsoft and others. Tableau’s revenue of $516 million in the October 2022 quarter represented growth of less than 8%, compared with four straight quarters of growth ranging from 22% to 38% in 2021, as reflected in Salesforce’s financial reports.
After the acquisition of Tableau, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said Seattle would become the company’s “HQ2,” betting on the region as a source of future hiring and growth. Tableau had grown to about 4,200 employees worldwide before it was acquired in 2020, with about half of them in the Seattle region.
The acquisition was lauded by some state leaders as a sign of the Seattle region’s strengths as a global tech hub, but it also represented the loss of a significant public company headquarters.
The company-wide layoffs at Salesforce came shortly after the departure of former Tableau CEO Mark Nelson in December. Nelson led the company for two years, after replacing former Tableau CEO Adam Selipsky, who returned to Amazon as CEO of Amazon Web Services, succeeding Amazon CEO Andy Jassy in that role.
Tableau is now led by an executive group that includes Ajenstat, Chief Revenue Officer Ryan Aytay, and SVP Pedro Arellano, in addition to Salesforce veterans Jennifer Lagaly, who leads the America sales teams, and Tableau COO Sam Allen, who leads go-to-market strategy.
In a letter to employees last month, Benioff said the Salesforce layoffs were driven by a “challenging” economic environment in which customers “are taking a more measured approach to their purchasing decisions.” The cuts are part of a wave of layoffs hitting the tech industry following rapid growth.
Salesforce said as part of the layoffs that it would reduce its real estate footprint “within certain markets.”
A Salesforce spokesperson declined to comment on the total number of Tableau employees impacted by the latest workforce reduction, or whether it plans to reduce its real estate footprint in the Seattle region, where it has three offices for Tableau.
Fortune reported Monday that Slack is ditching its headquarters and moving into Salesforce’s office tower in San Francisco.
“We’re confident in the opportunity ahead for Tableau, and we recently made changes to re-accelerate Tableau growth,” former Salesforce CEO Bret Taylor, who stepped down last month, said on the company’s most latest earnings call Nov. 30. “This includes new leadership and, as importantly, new product integrations like Revenue Intelligence, a deep integration between Sales Cloud and Tableau that has become one of our fastest-growing add-on products.”
Prior to the cuts, Salesforce employed about 4,000 people in the Seattle area, including Tableau employees. Salesforce has its own office in Bellevue, Wash.
At the Irish wake event last week, Brinker took out his phone and recited a song crafted by the ChatGPT chatbot about the current state of Tableau, to the tune of American Pie.
We may recall the day that Tableau came to life, a game changer for data analysis, no more strife.
With intuitive tools for visualizing data right, bringing insights to the forefront — a new site.
But the day that Tableau died, oh, what a site. Left us all behind, lost in the night.
No more insights, no more data delight.
The day that Tableau died.
Christian Chabot, Chris Stolte and Pat Hanrahan led the charge with a brilliant plan, building a community that loved every brand.
The #DataFam that never lost its stand.
But the day that Tableau died, oh, what a sight. Left us all behind, lost in the night.
No more insights, no more data delight.
The day that Tableau died.
Along came Salesforce with their acquisition dreams, taking Tableau away, or so it seems.
Leaving us to search for a new solution, one that’ll bring our data to revolution.
But the day that Tableau died, oh, what a sight. Left us all behind, lost in the night.
No more insights, no more data delight.
The day that Tableau died.
We’ll remember Tableau, its impact will recount.
With every insight gained, its legacy will amount.
We’ll keep searching for a new data King, in hopes of finding a tool that can do anything.
- Some Salesforce employees have been offered a "Prompt Exit Package" instead of a layoff, with less severance.
- If they refuse, they will put on a PIP, sources say, a common step before termination in the industry.
- Employees say the company is ratcheting up performance expectations as activist investors invade.
Salesforce has increased performance pressure on some employees as it executes its plan to reduce its workforce by 10%, multiple current and former employees tell Insider. Workers aren't sure if performance-related terminations are part of that 10%, they say.
The company is planning to introduce new performance metrics for engineers and has already forced some salespeople to choose between a 30-day performance improvement plan (PIP) or a severance option called a "Prompt Exit Package," according to several current and former Salesforce employees. PIPs are commonly used in the tech industry as a step prior to firing someone. The PEP, on the other hand, is basically voluntarily quitting, but Salesforce offers two months of severance with it, according to an email viewed by Insider.
"The company is pushing hard for productivity tracking and metrics on all facets," one employee told Insider.
"Performance pressure and return to office became big themes," a former employee, who was laid off from Salesforce in February, said of their last few months with the company.
One new metric Salesforce is planning to use to evaluate engineer productivity, the person said, is code check-ins, a controversial practice some say incentivizes quantity over quality and reduces trust between teams. A code check-in is when a developer makes a set of changes to a codebase.
The heightened focus on performance comes as the software giant works to shed 10% of its workforce, or some 7,000 people, after a two-year hiring spree. Salesforce increased its workforce from 57,000 to 73,000 in 2021, according to its annual report.
The company notified some employees on January 4 that their jobs were being eliminated, and sent another round of notifications on February 2. Insider has reported that more than 4,000 people have likely been laid off so far, but Salesforce has not confirmed how many more employees it has actually cut, leaving its remaining workforce anxious for their jobs.
Meanwhile, activist investors have been mobbing Salesforce, which has seen its market value shrink in half since its peak in 2021. Five such investors have revealed significant stakes since October, including Starboard Value and the feared Elliott Management, which is said to be mounting an effort to replace some board members, Reuters reports. Other activist investors include Mason Morfit's ValueAct, Jeff Ubben's Inclusive Capital, and Dan Loeb's Third Point Capital LLC, which just last week disclosed a stake.
Activist investors typically want their targets to trim expenses and focus on more profitable businesses, rather than pursuing growth at all costs. Starboard first approached Salesforce this summer, spoke with some of its executives and pushed for cost-cutting measures. Salesforce cut a few hundred salespeople in November, a person familiar with the matter told Insider, and the company told Insider the cuts were made for "accountability," implying that performance was a consideration.
Employees worry that so much activist attention will result in more performance pressure or further layoffs which, insiders say, the company has already contemplated. Sources say there's been internal talk on whether to cut an additional 10% of staff later this year.
One Slack message sent by an employee after the first round of layoffs in January said that Salesforce has a goal to reach 25% operating margin by the 2026 fiscal year and asked execs at the time if the target was a factor in layoffs.
Meanwhile CEO Marc Benioff has also repeatedly mentioned productivity to employees when discussing the cuts. "We don't have the same level of performance and productivity that we had in 2020 before the pandemic. We do not," he said during an all-hands meeting in January after the first notices went out.
Less severance than those laid off
Workers who spoke to Insider are concerned that the company's increased focus on performance could mean more people will be targeted for a PEP, leaving them with less severance than their colleagues who were simply laid off.
Laid-off workers will be offered a minimum severance of five month's pay and possibly more based on tenure as well as other benefits like company-sponsored COBRA, Benioff wrote in a January email to employees announcing the restructuring.
But employees who have been targeted for a PEP are offered eight weeks of severance and company-sponsored healthcare benefits under COBRA.
Employees are given two business days to elect the PEP option, according to an internal email viewed by Insider. If they don't choose the PEP, employees will then be allowed to view the 30-day PIP plan, which they then have to start within 3 days of declining the PEP offer.
Around Thanksgiving, the company offered some sales employees who had been deemed underperforming in certain areas, such as annual contract value and pipeline generation, the option to start a 30-day PIP or accept the PEP and immediately leave the company. In some cases, the company has presented employees with PEP offers in the same week it has executed mass layoffs, employees told Insider.
Four Salesforce employees who spoke to Insider, including two who had been offered a PEP, said the option to choose between PEP or PIP feels like a way of pushing employees out of their jobs.
"It's a shady optics play," said one person who was given a PIP or PEP offer last month. "From an outside perspective, it looks like these people quit."
They also said they felt like Salesforce had set some salespeople up to fail, saying the company expected them to hit unachievable quotas that bested their results during a pandemic-fueled boom for cloud software, even though the economy is weakening and post-pandemic demand is waning.
"The markets we all work in are only so big," a recently laid-off Salesforce sales executive said.
It is unclear how many engineering employees have been affected by the new performance management system, or if PEP offers are being made outside of sales teams.
Changing a hard-to-fire culture
A former Salesforce executive who left the company in latest months told Insider that a push to accelerate the company's PIP system began in the fall. A common complaint held by Salesforce managers over the last decade has been that the system made it too difficult to fire underperforming employees, even if they were regularly labeled as such despite multiple changes in managers or roles.
The new performance management system implemented in the fall was designed to address those complaints, the former executive said, noting that it was "literally impossible" to manage anyone out of the company, including legitimately 'terrible' performers.
"This is a classic enterprise performance improvement plan, but faster," they said of the company's new system.
The sales employees who spoke to Insider say that plan has not worked out in practice, and has left the door open for colleagues they consider to be strong performers to be pushed out of the company.

Salesforce is looking at new ways to cut costs as activist investors continue to put pressure on the company. Today, Insider was reporting that the company is implementing much stricter performance measurements for engineering, with some salespeople being put under pressure to quit or succumb to harsh performance policies of their own. This is consistent with what sources have been telling TechCrunch.
This could include performance reviews based on the quantity of code produced for engineers, a flawed way to measure engineering productivity, which encourages quantity over quality. While salespeople are being put between a rock and a hard place, being asked to choose between signing a strict one-month performance improvement plan or taking an exit package.
When asked about this, Salesforce responded with this comment: “Our performance management process drives accountability and rewards excellence.” The company did not elaborate or answer follow-up questions regarding the timing or details of this policy.
TechCrunch has also been hearing that the company is mandating a return to the office, and according to a Salesforce spokesperson, it’s now up to the managers to decide. “Our hybrid approach empowers leaders to make decisions for their teams about which jobs need to be in the office or remote.”
That’s an interesting attitude shift for a company has been promoting the idea of the “all digital, work-from-anywhere workplace” since the pandemic hit in 2020, something they call the Digital HQ. It’s a big part of why the CRM leader spent almost $28 billion to buy Slack in 2020.
But neither is it surprising since CEO and chair Marc Benioff practically telegraphed this at the end of last year, suggesting that folks working from home weren’t as productive.
All of this is probably related to the fact that activist investors -- including Elliott Management, Starboard Value, ValueAct and Inclusive Capital -- have been circling the company, undoubtedly putting tons of pressure on Benioff to increase productivity and cut costs. These firms are a big part of the reason Salesforce announced that it was cutting 10% of its workforce in January, a process that has been handled badly with layoff notices coming in dribs and drabs, leaving workers anxious and uncertain.
Ray Wang, founder and principal analyst at Constellation Research, blames Boston Consulting Group, which he says was brought in at the behest of the activists to deal with the cuts and implement new performance review policies. “From what we know, BCG made some significant recommendations on how salespeople and developers should be measured to Improve productivity,” Wang told TechCrunch. Update: BCG denies being responsible for the performance review policies.
Wang says that whether you think this approach is a good idea or not depends on your perspective. “If I was an investor, I would advocate for this approach, but if I was the owner-founder, I would want something less harsh and more nuanced,” he said.
Wang isn’t a fan of how the activists have handled this, calling them “vulture firms.” While he does agree with their assertion that Salesforce overpaid for bad acquisitions, he believes these firms lack an understanding of how to run a company like Salesforce, and they are ultimately doing more harm than good.
“The vulture firms do not have a good understanding of the investment levels in R&D that are needed for innovation to continue, nor did they understand what level of marketing spend Salesforce needs to remain top of mind for execs,” Wang said.
“They don’t add any value. They come in to just make money on the arbitrage and they leave the firms more damaged than when they were before they were taken over,” he said.

A fifth activist investor has taken a stake in Club holding Salesforce (CRM), making loud and clear that well-respected hedge funds see a money-making opportunity in the enterprise software giant. While that many activists in one stock is certainly unusual, we welcome the scrutiny and any push that boosts shareholder value.
