We are often asked how we in our 4 years of operation as Best Salesforce Partners keep our employees happy and invested. It’s not easy. We are always learning from our mistakes and trying to better ourselves over time. In this blog, we are putting forward some of our learnings so that others can benefit from our experiences.
Here are the top ways Salesforce partners keep employees happy:
-
Certifications – No one should rest on their current laurels. One should keep trying to hone their skills and be a better version of themselves daily. To this end, we as Salesforce partners push our team members to keep certifying in different Salesforce domains and paths. Our continuous mission is to ensure that our 100% certified staff keeps achieving more and more certifications. Our top two delivery heads are currently 15X and 10X Salesforce certified. By investing in Salesforce certifications of the team, Best Salesforce partners keep their employees satisfied as their professional growth is addressed.
-
Rewards and recognition – It’s important to keep employees loyal and happy. This is addressed by a cultural institutionalisation of rewards & recognition. In Codleo, this is achieved by various recognitions such as – Employee of the Month awards, Attendance Acer recognitions, and the annual Virtuosos awards in April. We as Salesforce global partners strive to recognize the top performers and reward them with cash prizes. This keeps everyone motivated to perform better.
-
Career mobility paths. It’s important for a company, big or small, to offer flexibility to its team when it comes to career paths. Salesforce personnel need space for growth and career mobility to be motivated, productive, and happy. The growth in terms of professionally and personally motivates people. This has to be considered by Salesforce partners to be able to provide their team with the scope of rising in rank & pay switch as well to other domains/teams/work profiles as per their talents & caliber. Recently we had a young Salesforce admin who was made our internal trainer as he was looking for change. He excelled in the new role thanks to his comm skills. He is now on a new career path thanks to flexibility and recognising of talent by the management.
-
Positive work environment. A positive work culture works for all. No one wants to work in an atmosphere of pressure, hostility, stress, fear, or harassment. It’s up to the management of SFDC Partners to provide a welcoming, safe, and harmonious environment. A crackdown on violators is important to send a message to the entire company. Codleo has zero tolerance for sexual abuse, bullying, discrimination, and so on. We as Salesforce partners have an internal sexual harassment committee.
-
Changes in the physical office. The overall office environment has an important role in keeping the staff happy and loyal. The physical layout can make or mar concentration, productivity, and efficiency. Some simple suggestions are large windows for sunlight with blinds, greenery, Comfortable and ergonomic office furniture, meeting rooms and a host of facilities (washrooms, soft beverages, snacks, etc),.
