A New Perspective on
Employee Development

Atyaasaa Consulting Private Limited is a leading Human Resource Training & Consulting Organization
partnering with some of the best brands in the country and overseas. Atyaasaa has been a catalyst & a
contributor in their quest for people development and business excellence. The core differentiator of
Atyaasaa process is continual innovation, unique customization and use of state of the art technology
tools implemented through ethical and experienced operations and human resource facilitators
having contribution as their core value.
The system of organizations is akin, if not alike, to the system of human
beings – after all, organizations are made up of humans. Any development
whether it is organizational change or self - development, requires a lot of
effort and time.
A successful organizational change can be rather challenging to
accomplish – like trying to change a person’s habits. Depending on what
change you are seeking, you can face a lot of resistance.
When we state “development,” most of the managers perceive it as
“training”. Training primarily focuses on bridging a skill or competency gap
and that is just one aspect of development. When you ask someone about
the developments they have had in the last twelve months, most
employees will respond saying that they have attended a couple of
workshops or seminars and that is the only development opportunity they
have received.
Retention
Little or no cost to your organization. You can choose to subsidize memberships or not. Either way, your employees or members receive a discounted membership to Hill Country Outdoors.
Happier and more productive employees. Employees who have an active social life tend to be more cheerful and productive at work.
Employee retention. Happy employees who develop a circle of friends and are active after hours tend to stay in the community longer.
Employees or members will appreciate that you are looking out for their best interest. While many organizations are forced to cut back on benefits, you will be able to offer employees free or reduced rate membership in Hill Country Outdoors.
Fewer sick days, and possibly, reduced health care expense. Since many Hill Country Outdoors events involve sports and active outdoor activities, your employees will enjoy better health.
BMC Software began as a mainframe software vendor, but since the middle 1990s has been developing software to monitor, manage and automate distributed and mainframe systems. BMC is divided into two main business units:[8]
A Mainframe Management segment[6][9] focusing on reliability of "business critical data" and includes the BSM subgroup, “Service Optimization.”[9]
An Enterprise Service Management segment[6] which focuses on servers and networks, and includes the BSM subgroups, "Service Support," "Service Automation," and "Service Resource Planning.”[9][10]
In August 2009, BMC had over 450 software applications to primarily manage mainframes and distributed systems, as well as virtual and cloud computing IT environments.[5] Generally, the software is used to help information technology managers, typically in large enterprises or agencies, manage operations, make IT more efficient, remediate issues, increase compliance and lower IT costs.
For example, BMC’s BSM platform improves efficiency for government agencies such as New York City's Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications. A June 2009 press release issued by the City of New York[11] credits the implementation of BMC’s IT Service Management (ITSM) software and integration of automated monitoring tools “has produced dramatic improvements in interagency communication and streamlined City services with considerable cost avoidance.”
In October 2009, BMC announced an initiative called Dynamic Business Service Management[12] to improve IT’s proactive approach to data center management. All major product offerings, BMC BladeLogic Server Automation, BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management, BMC Atrium CMDB and BMC IT Service Management were updated as part of this initiative.[13]
BMC uses its own software in a private cloud computing environment for developing applications.[14] BMC also offers consulting, implementation, integration, and educational services related to its software products and sells directly through a sales force and indirectly through channel partners which include "resellers, distributors, and systems integrators."[9]
