How Salesforce Improved Workforce Development Efficiency for a California Human Services Agency
Improving CalWORKs Outcomes With Unified Data and Automated Workflows on Salesforce
A large California county’s human services agency helps families achieve stability through workforce development services, as well as through CalWORKs, a welfare workforce development program that provides cash aid and services like housing, food, utilities, clothing, and medical care.
But with data spread across disconnected systems, staff did not have a complete view of the people they supported, which made it difficult to track progress or respond proactively to household needs. Manual documentation processes also slowed caseworkers down, limiting how many clients they were able to help.
To strengthen operational efficiency, elevate service quality, and gain a more holistic approach to workforce development, this agency partnered with Provisio to transform its technology foundation on Salesforce.
The Challenges
Before the implementation, the agency faced several barriers that made it challenging to deliver coordinated workforce services:
The agency needed a FedRAMP-compliant system that integrated data and automated tedious processes to strengthen service delivery.
Fragmented systems that siloed CalWORKs and employment data across platforms, limiting agency-wide visibility.
Limited insight into household needs, making it hard to understand the full picture of a family’s challenges or progress toward goals.
Manual data collection and reporting demanded significant staff time and made consistency difficult across programs.

Provisio built a customized workforce development solution on top of Salesforce to specifically support the county’s needs.
