Salesforce.com has just been named one of the U.S.’s Most InDemand Employers for 2014 by LinkedIn. We are thrilled to be ranked alongside other great companies as one of the U.S. employers LinkedIn members most want to work for.

This list measures the most attractive, sought-after companies based on billions of interactions from LinkedIn’s 300 million members, including actions like viewing employee profiles, visiting Company Pages and following companies. Take a look at the full list of honorees here. 

What makes salesforce.com InDemand? Our more human, less corporate culture where open conversations are front and center. We believe in being totally transparent and constantly connected, and in leveraging the power of social media to engage our employees in entirely new ways. Our employees speak freely to us and to each other, share company news with their networks, and recruit new members to the salesforce.com family, thanks to innovative social tools that allow them to do so quickly, easily, and on-the-go.

Interested in making your employees your strongest employer ambassadors? Here are the top three ways we empower our employees to help keep us InDemand:

1. Drive Company Conversation

The best way to listen to employees is to get them talking. Our proprietary social networking application, Chatter, is an open forum for employees to share opinions, ask questions, express ideas, and get instant feedback from colleagues, including managers. Employees can collaborate and connect one-on-one or in dedicated groups quickly and easily, right from their phones. From aligning on company priorities to participating in real-time employee polls to debating the best kitchen snacks, no conversation is off the table--and that’s just how we like it. The result? A social, mobile, transparent community of connected and engaged employees.

2. Create Social Ambassadors

Believing in the advocacy power of our employees, we launched a dynamic Social Ambassador program. This online community invites passionate employees with an interest in social media to easily share company and industry content on their personal social networks. Ambassadors receive daily feeds of curated content, a gamified leaderboard to track engagement, plus awesome prizes for sharing. The result? We have the ability to expand salesforce.com’s online presence to new networks, and our employees get to know our company better while promoting their own personal brands at the same time. This has led the program to grow from 400 members to over 13-hundred since November 2013.

3. Encourage Employee Referrals

We consider our employees to be the best and brightest, so it only makes sense that they know others who would be a great fit fits for salesforce.com. We encourage our employees people to refer their qualified friends and former colleagues for positions at salesforce.com. Referrals get VIP treatment and the opportunity to land their #dreamjob, employees get a generous referral bonus if their candidate is hired, and the company gains talented new people on the team. Everybody wins. The result? Employees who are empowered to be recruiters and help fuel our company growth. And the numbers don’t lie: Last year, over 58% of our new hires came from employee referrals.

The key to creating a desirable workplace is to encourage employees to share: with each other, their networks, and with the company. By giving your people a strong voice and the tools to use it, you can build an open, honest, authentic, and transparent culture that others want to be a part of, and a company that’s InDemand.
