Quotes from Dan Torunian, Vice President, Employee Technology and Experiences and Data Centers for PayPal
What the employee wants to do hasn’t really changed that dramatically. They want to get their job done, they want to know what’s going on with their organization, and they want to continue to advance in their career. We learned not to let leadership hierarchy interfere. Let the leaders on the ground make the decisions that are the best for them. What makes sense in Dublin might not make sense in India. What makes sense in Omaha might not work in our New York office. Every office has a different persona made of different individuals with different skill sets. The question was, “How do we tailor our offerings and our response to what’s required in that location?”
With the deployment of Sales Cloud, we are now able to fully digitize the end-to-end sales cycle – inclusive of pricing, underwriting, legal, and all the traditional selling activities. This then allows us to shorten that sales cycle, recognize revenue sooner, and deliver a much better experience to the merchant. Our sales team is working with a high level of confidence. They’re not thinking about the various systems they need to navigate. They’re not being mechanics. They’re really artists in the process.
We never want to be constrained by scale and reach. We want to position our employees to create value. We want a healthy workforce – meaning output, velocity, learning, wellness, engagement, etc. – because we believe a healthy workforce will deliver a healthy customer experience. Lastly, we need to challenge ourselves to insulate our workforce from any future black swan event. This pandemic was a wakeup call for many of us; it’s a significant call to action for all tech leaders.
