Business of Tech: Daily 10-Minute IT Services Insights Broadcom's Woes & the Impact on VMware Customers, Unlimited PTO: A Data-Driven Approach for Benefits
Organizations like Scale Computing are taking advantage of market disruptions caused by changes in VMware's subscription pricing model. In this episode, we discuss how Broadcom's alterations to VMware's subscription pricing model have prompted many customers to explore alternative platforms. This shift in customer sentiment has opened up an opportunity for companies like Scale Computing to emerge as a viable alternative for VMware customers.
Scale Computing's CEO, Jeff Ready, highlighted that Broadcom's price increases and partner issues have contributed to Scale Computing's exceptional growth. With VMware raising prices and focusing on larger customers post Broadcom acquisition, Scale Computing positioned itself as a suitable alternative for customers seeking a different solution. Reddy emphasized the support and value that Scale Computing offers compared to its competitors.
Implementing unlimited PTO can have significant benefits for employee satisfaction, productivity, and performance, as demonstrated by the case of OIT VoIP. In the podcast episode, Ray Orsini, the CEO of OIT VoIP, shared data that led to the decision to implement unlimited PTO in their organization. By analyzing time off requests, approval rates, disciplinary issues, and employee burnout, OIT VoIP found that traditional PTO policies were resulting in underutilization of time off and potential burnout among employees.
After implementing unlimited PTO, OIT VoIP observed a notable increase in the number of approved time off requests, indicating that employees were taking more time off to recharge and maintain a healthy work-life balance. This rise in time off usage correlated with higher employee satisfaction, as evidenced by positive feedback from employee surveys. Additionally, anecdotal evidence suggested that employees were more willing to go above and beyond in their roles, contributing to better performance and overall company success.
