He also talked about the core values of Salesforce, including pay equality. Benioff says he learned about it through two of his female executives. At first, he didn't believe it was happening, "it turned out actually through unconscious bias plus we had bought 60 companies," said Benioff. "So what we did is, we had to commit number one, we pay men and women equally. We pay equal pay for equal work."
