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.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.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.
