Salesforce is adding an amenity not seen in many tech offices. Instead of using the top floor for executive suites, Salesforce is creating Ohana Floors for employees, customers, partners and the local community to use, according to Salesforce Executive Vice President, Real Estate, Strategic Events & Executive Briefing Centers Elizabeth Pinkham.
The company recently debuted its first Ohana Floor in Salesforce East at 350 Mission in San Francisco. The community areas offer 360-degree views and will be opening in Salesforce Towers in San Francisco, New York, Indianapolis and London. These floors will host events, town halls and networking and will be open to nonprofits and local community groups to use for fundraising events and volunteer activities, according to Pinkham. This amenity is a part of the company’s mission to provide a space for Salesforce’s entire ohana, the Hawaiian word for family, and a welcoming environment to employees, partners, customers and communities. Its company design standard, known as ohana design, promotes collaboration, fun, sustainability and wellness, Pinkham said.
