10 Questions with Chibuenyi Griffith

Chibuenyi Griffith is an Associate Workday Specialist at Salesforce. As a high school senior, like most of his classmates, he was uncertain of his next steps post-graduation. The thought of investing four years and going thousands of dollars into debt to study a field that he may or may not have interest in scared him away from the traditional college path. He wanted more time to explore his options before making a significant time and financial commitment. He wanted to choose his own adventure, a different path to success. After six months at a tech-vocational program through a non-profit organization called Year Up, he earned a six-month internship at Salesforce.com as a Technical Writer. For the first time, he had confidence in himself, a sense of purpose, and a future to look forward to. After the internship and the Year Up program concluded, he was thrilled and humbled to return to Salesforce.com to launch his professional career working in the HR department as an Associate Workday Specialist. His team maintains the Workday platform, which enables the Employee Success team to effectively manage all employee cases such as payroll, benefits, compensation. <a href="https://medium.com/resilient-men-of-color/10-questions-with-chibuenyi-griffith-1242bba56d6b">Learn More</a>
