A global organisation was struggling with critical challenges in building and developing their Salesforce technology team:
Diversity limitations
Recruitment process overlooked under-represented talent from smaller universities
Required high GPAs and excessive experience (2+ years)
Limited recruitment scope due to population constraints
Talent continuity challenges
Contractors frequently departed, taking valuable knowledge and intellectual property
Lack of a structured approach to developing junior Salesforce talent
No established graduate programme to support succession planning

It’s important for businesses to attract and retain diverse talent. 69% of US Gen Z tech workers reported that they have felt uncomfortable in a role due to something out of their control.
This includes gender, a neurodevelopmental condition, ethnicity or socioeconomic background. Inclusion is fundamental in a successful organization to bring about new perspectives and to ensure all employees feel like they belong.
“To attract and keep the best tech talent, we need to identify and address the inclusivity issues that discourage them. By creating a culture of inclusion for those who face the most obstacles, we also empower others who face similar but less severe challenges.” - Mary Wellman
