Recruitment and selection

Recruitment is responsible for personnel selection for all of Telenor Pakistan. Personnel

selection is the methodical placement of individuals into jobs during which applications are

evaluated against available vacancies and assessed as per applicants' skills and experience in

compliance with TP selection process as specified in the recruitment policy.

Telenor Pakistan consists of energetic, youthful and dedicated employees aged 27 to 28 on

average. An appropriate match is required between the culture and employees at recruitment and

hiring. If People Excellence Division feels that a person will not be able to adjust into the

organization’s environment, even if he/she is performing functionally well, the person is

rejected. The dynamic group of people, sharing similar mind-sets, love being with each other and

meet on other occasions if unable to meet during work-hours. They even stay back late,

employees can be seen roaming around till 9 at night.

Orientation

After the recruitment and selection of the employees socialization and orientation of the

employees has started firstly the new comers or new employees have to report to the line

manager of their particular Division and he is then introduced with the current values, beliefs and

code of the conduct of the organization

Succession plans of last three years

“Succession planning is simply a formalized plan of activities in the event of planned or

unplanned leadership vacancies. Often, it is applied only to CEOs, but it should address other

leadership levels as well.

The HR Division of Telenor Pakistan believes that good succession planning exercise requires

understanding the critical challenges the company and the industry will face in the short to

medium term, and the skills and competencies that the company's key personnel require to lead

the company through such challenges. Their succession planning exercise then strives to equip

the identified successor with such skills and competencies besides the incumbent’s skills and

knowledge.

Page 8: 53633447 Recruitment and Selection of Telenor

One common dilemma faced by many companies face is whether to consider internal candidates

or external candidates as successors. In Telenor Pakistan it is believed that both approaches have

their share of benefits and risks, but the risks with external candidates are higher owing to the

unfamiliarity of such candidates.

Succession planning in Telenor Pakistan requires both starting the succession planning process

early to ensure internal candidates become ready when the transition time approaches, and

keeping the screening for external candidates updated simultaneously. They believe that best

selection practice involves inviting the internal candidates for the recruitment screening, first to

ascertain whether they have developed sufficiently to take over, and considering external

candidates when there remain no suitable internal candidates.

The Succession planning process of Telenor:

The personal commitment and participation of the CEO.

The second step to succession planning is to Assess Present Work/People Requirements

o The organization’s decision-makers must find ways to clarify what work people

do and what measurable outputs they should achieve.

The third step to succession planning is to Appraise Individual Performance

The fourth step to succession planning is to Assess Future Work/People Requirements

The fifth step to succession planning is to Assess Future Individual Potential

The sixth step to succession planning is to Close the Developmental Gap

The last step to succession planning is to Evaluate the Succession Planning Program

o Decide on whether succession planning is working as having qualified applicants

from inside the organization to meet most vacancies as they arise or require

demonstration that succession planning effort helped the organization save money

on job searches.

In Telenor Pakistan they have laid down plans for medium Level Management and they are still

on its way forward. They were consistently developing their workforce through job enrichment

and the employees in Telenor Pakistan were given opportunities to do highly technical and

highly advance assignments, so that the employees can be assessed of their potential for future

Page 9: 53633447 Recruitment and Selection of Telenor

assignments. The employees at Telenor Pakistan were provided with the authority but the

employees were also strictly accountable for their use of authority and it was strictly monitored

by the immediate supervisor. The supervisor keep check on his subordinates that whether the

authority is abused or not. Telenor Pakistan is extremely against the illegal use of authority, so

those who were caught with the illegal use of authority, was then taken out of the list of potential

successors.

For the middle Level Management, Telenor Pakistan has several potential successors in mind for

future but the information is confidential to the HR Division. Because, if the secret leaks out then

it leads to demotivation among the employees of similar cadre.

The senior level Management like CEO and Vice presidents of Telenor Pakistan are replaced by

the successors from Parent Country. Telenor Group and the Board of Directors have the

authority to appoint the successor to the senior level management post. So the HR Division of

Telenor Pakistan has no access to the senior level of Management as it is governed by the Board

and Parent country Nationals. And as Far as the CEO of Telenor Pakistan is concerned, there

seems to be no plans for near future because the new successor to the former CEO Mr. Tore

Johnsen was appointed almost 2 years ago in year 2008 and was succeeded by the Current CEO

of Telenor Pakistan Jon Eddy Abdullah.

HR Plans of last three years

Telenor Pakistan participated in ROZEE.PK Job Fair

Telenor Pakistan, the Employer of Choice, has participated in one of the most anticipated job

fairs of Pakistan. Jobseekers were able to meet Telenor Pakistan representatives at the

ROZEE.PK Job Fair.

Delighted to be participating in the ROZEE.PK Job Fair, Telenor Pakistan’s Vice President

Human Capitals Nayab Baig said: “At Telenor Pakistan we realize that with the current growth

rate of the cellular market it is essential that we invest in the development of our country’s

Human Capital.

“Our philosophy is to unlock hidden human potential by offering an opportunity to employees to

build their expertise and by providing an energizing environment. Telenor Pakistan is a young

Page 10: 53633447 Recruitment and Selection of Telenor

organization, which means that we are interested in finding and grooming young talented people

and equipping them with the skills that Pakistan’s fastest growing network requires in one of the

fastest growing mobile markets in the world.”

Commenting on Telenor Pakistan’s presence at the job fair, Director Human Capitals Telenor

Pakistan Haroon Bhatti said: “Telenor Pakistan’s participation in the job fair have provided an

opportunity for visitors to learn more about the company’s exciting working environment and

culture, competitive salary packages and attractive benefits; these are unparalleled in the

industry.”

Telenor Pakistan takes pride in its transparent and merit-based recruitment process. It offers

rapid career progression coupled with extensive training and ample opportunities for

international exposure for its employees.

Employees work in an open-plan environment which encourages an egalitarian culture,

promoting innovation, creativity and knowledge-sharing across the company. This reflects the

high level of trust the company has in its employees, who are the cornerstone of the organization.

The HR Strategies of Telenor Pakistan

As Telenor is original a Norwegian company and its head office is located in Norway and it is

basically ruled from Norway. So that’s why most of the HR plans and strategies of Telenor

Pakistan are similar throughout the globe. Same was the case in last three years (2007 to 2010)

and most probably it will be similar for future as well.

Telenor Pakistan’s Secret Plan of motivating their HR through such Statements

Telenor Pakistan has been chosen as the most preferred employer for their HR practices in a

survey conducted by ROZEE.PK. Vice President Human Capital Division Telenor Pakistan

Nayab Baig said, “Telenor Pakistan is pleased with the results of the Top Employers survey

conducted by Rozee.PK. We appreciate the initiative and believe that such surveys help to create

an in-depth understanding of our culture, environment and perception of HR practices in the

market. Telenor Pakistan is dedicated to improvement through our people which we believe are

our greatest strength.”

Page 11: 53633447 Recruitment and Selection of Telenor

This above statement is appraisal to the whole organization, to each and every employee working

in Telenor Pakistan. Their Plan is to give and articulate this type of statements on such happy

occasions will make their employees feel proud, their pride will motivate them which will lead to

job satisfaction and individual’s better performance and it will ultimately lead to better

organizational performance.

Telenor Pakistan Held CMWs for University Students Of Pakistan

Telenor Pakistan as part of its ongoing Career Management Workshops (CMW) initiative, has

reached out to several universities all across Pakistan. 43 universities have been visited in

different regions benefiting over 3000 students. The CMW sessions are conducted by

experienced HR professionals with the aim to guide students interested in taking up a career in

any industry.

Telenor Pakistan’s Vice President Human Capital Division, Nayab Baig shared his thoughts on

the initiative, “At Telenor Pakistan, we believe that as a socially responsible organization we

must continue to contribute to the society even during tough economic times. We do this by

innovation in communications technology and also Human Capital development. Telenor

Pakistan, as a pioneer, has designed a comprehensive training package, ’Career Management

Workshop’ which enables students to overcome the initial challenges while entering the

corporate sector. We are reaching out to universities across Pakistan without the discretion of

their ranking. We hope that maximum students will benefit from this humble effort from Telenor

Pakistan and wish them all good luck with their future aspirations.’’

The Career Management Workshop session includes a presentation by the university alumni

working with Telenor Pakistan, followed by a summary on the hiring process at the organization.

The most important aspect of CMW was the Student Excellence Program (SEP) conducted by

Telenor Pakistan’s Manager Recruitment, Faisal Khan. This was an interactive session where the

do’s and don’ts of CV writing and interviews are discussed for the benefits of the students. This

was then followed by mock interviews with students selected randomly during the session. The

workshop is concluded by collecting student feedback via survey forms.

Page 12: 53633447 Recruitment and Selection of Telenor

The CMW clearly shows the Telenor Pakistan’s plan in 2009 and for future. By organizing

CMW Telenor Pakistan was able to scan the best students from different universities of Pakistan

with the help of mock interviews and then they immediately picked up the best cherries of the

lot. Their plan was to bring those exceptional students on board and then to train them and get

them to work for their organization. They needed innovative and creative minds and with the

help of CMW, they got them. The same would be plan for future as well. Because they are

conducting CMW every year now and it’s also planned to kick off in May 2011 and will

conclude in the start of June 2011.

Introducing the Radio One FM91 show “Shaping the Professionals of Tomorrow”

The show focuses on how Telenor Pakistan is helping develop Pakistan's human capital will

inform students, potential employees and potential customers about the work culture at Telenor

Pakistan, our career management workshops, our internships program, and the diversity and

dynamism of our work force. The show also focuses on generic areas, such as career counseling

to better prepare students for their future pursuits.

There will also be prize-winning questions based on the radio show’s topics that Fasi zaka (the

well-known television host, satirist, political columnist, radio talk show host, music critic,

academic and Rhodes Scholar) will be asking listeners during each show. The winners will be

offered a pre-screening interview at Telenor Pakistan that could lead to an internship or a job

offer.

HRIS is fundamental need of all growth seeking organizations. Telenor has also adopted a very

comprehensive computer based information system. As Telenor’s HR Capital Division is very

active and connected with all their employees regarding their matters about organization, for

their departmental work needs and convenience. Telenor has come up with the strategy of going

better and better. To cope with competitors, they built their information system like other

organizations (Mobilink, Ufone) already working with.

Telenor developed a network within whole organization through which all their employees are

linked, by their own specifically developed software. Through this software data base of all

employees and their record is kept up to date. This software oriented information system

specifically builds for organizational development. All the employees are provided the facility of

Page 13: 53633447 Recruitment and Selection of Telenor

connecting each other by mailing through this software. This is working on their intranet. This

HRIS is not only working within the organization but also this system is working for the

franchise officers and other people working outside the organization even if they are located

anywhere in the country.

Human resource information system in Telenor also possess the attendance records of its

employees, through which they evaluate the employees performance of attendance and keep

update with the employees leave, attendance, holidays etc. They have issued electronic cards to

each employees by swapping these cards through electronic devices and so through this way the

data for employees are maintained. Strategically the main advantage of this database is that there

is no fear of any kind of leakage of information. Along with this customers services department

also have a deep link with the human resource information system.

Recruitment and Selection

Recommendations

Dealing with challenges requires a coordinated effort so that the company is able to sustain itself

in the ever-changing competitive environment and continues to provide superior value to the

customer. Our group recommends the following:

Telenor has a functional structure with well-defined departments. The coordination and

the communication is enhanced by the cross-functional teams. After viewing the

functioning of the organization, it is recommended that the organization could have a

hybrid structure, between the characteristics of functional and horizontal structures.

Horizontal model offered the best chance to gain a faster, more efficient approach to a

customer service, which will lead to a better organizational image and more applicant

pool for selection.

As the organizational structure is highly functional, and the environment is currently

unstable and uncertainty is hiding in every corner of Pakistan, Organization is not well

suited to the environment. So the organization should focus on the changing trends in the

environment and also on the changing trends on workforce composition. They should

therefore, make the structure flexible enough to slip through these uncertain situations.

The organic structure is being used in the Telenor Pakistan but the organization is

needed to move to mechanistic structure for the better control of the employees for the

better use of rules, policies and procedures.

There should be an effective employee exchange program even at the level of middle

management. So the organization can share the level of skills and expertise at all levels

with the parent company.

Introduction of employee stock option would further enhance the motivation level

because then the employees too would have stake in the organization.

In their workforce there should be a quota for the disabled people. This is currently being

practiced in the parent company. This would enhance the image of the organization

being socially responsible.
