\"SalesforceSalesforce is undergoing an AI-led transformation, redesigning jobs and reskilling its entire workforce to integrate AI agents into daily operations. Traditional roles are evolving into outcome-based positions, with AI handling repetitive tasks and employees focusing on higher-value work. The company emphasizes AI fluency, making it a core requirement for both existing employees and new hires. Bengaluru: In an AI-led overhaul, Salesforce is redesigning roles across the company as it integrates AI agents into daily workflows. \u201cOur focus has been on redesigning every job and reskilling every employee,\u201d said Nathalie Scardino, its president and chief people officer.The changes are reshaping how work is organised within the company. \u201cTraditional job descriptions no longer exist,\u201d Scardino said. \u201cWork is now outcome-based \u2014 whether it\u2019s renewals, pipeline, or customer experience.\u201dAI agents are increasingly handling repetitive tasks, allowing employees to move into higher-value roles. For example, support engineers whose frontline query-handling work was automated have been retrained as forward-deployed engineers \u2014 a role created within the last year. \u201cWe co-created it with the team,\u201d Scardino said.\"unnamed\"In sales, AI agents are qualifying leads at scale, enabling teams to focus on more complex and higher-value deals. Managers, too, are being retrained to oversee hybrid teams of humans and AI systems. \u201cAI provides objectivity, but managers bring context,\u201d she added. \u201cThat human element remains critical.\u201d The company said it has spent the last two years building AI and data literacy through its internal \u201cAgent Blazer\u201d programme, which trains employees to build and deploy AI agents. \u201cToday, 100% of people at Salesforce are Agent Blazers,\u201d Scardino said.Scardino and Arundhati Bhattacharya, president and CEO at Salesforce in South Asia, attended Salesforce\u2019s annual leadership programme, Laulima, in Hawaii, where senior leaders had to independently build AI agents in sandbox environments and earn the \u201cAgent Blazer Innovator\u201d Level 2 certification to qualify for attendance.\u201cYou couldn\u2019t attend the next management meeting unless you had become an innovator,\u201d Bhattacharya said, referring to the mandate introduced by CEO Marc Benioff.AI tools are also changing onboarding and hiring priorities, particularly in India, where Salesforce employs 17,000 people. The company said it is increasingly prioritising AI fluency, including the ability to build and deploy agents responsibly. \u201cBeyond core technical skills, we\u2019re looking for AI fluency \u2014 understanding how to build and use agents, when to use them, and the ethical implications,\u201d Bhattacharya said.Salesforce also plans to hire 1,000 new graduates globally as it reshapes its workforce around AI capabilities. \u201cCandidates now ask about access to AI tools before accepting an offer,\u201d Bhattacharya said, underscoring how AI fluency is rapidly becoming a core expectation among new hires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Salesforce is undergoing an AI-led transformation, redesigning jobs and reskilling its entire workforce to integrate AI agents into…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[405,25704,25706,7537,25705,25703,22158],"class_list":["post-42172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-agentic-ai","tag-ai-agents","tag-ai-integration-in-workplaces","tag-ai-tools-in-hiring","tag-artificial-intelligence-agents","tag-reskilling-employees-salesforce","tag-salesforce-ai-roles","tag-workforce-transformation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
