In TELENOR, the activity to fill a vacancy or a new job starts with the requirement
communicated by the respective managers to the HR department. The HR department
then looks for the possibilities of internal and external recruitment.

directors. When a position is vacant, the HR department views the past performance of
the people working at lower levels than the vacant position and chooses the right person
who is promoted to that position. At the manager and director level, the internal
recruitment process is mostly carried out but when managerial position is vacant and a

requisition form for the job in which they have to mention their need taking in account
the budget for establishment and salaries for the position of Management, Business
Support Officers and Workers. Role profile for the specified job is also prepared

the requisition form. The requisition form along with the role profile is sent by the line
manager to the functional director for his approval and then forwarded to HR Manager.
The HR manager confirms the availability of budgets required for establishment, salaries
and cost of advertisement for the job. After all this, the requisition form along with the
job profile and the budget forecast is sent to the HR Director for his final approval. After
approval from the HR director the HR manager and the line manager work hand in hand
to prepare job and person specifications for advertising or giving to the head hunters. The
sources that TELENOR uses to attract applicants are:
• Inviting applications through advertisement
• Recommendations from the head hunters
• Applications obtained from the data bank of TELENOR where direct applications
are received from time to time. After a substantial amount of applications have
been received, the line and the HR managers again work together to shortlist the
applications.
This is done by carefully going through all the application and by giving different
weight age to the following criteria:

• Quality of early schooling

• Grade obtained

Chapter no 5
Training and development

5.1 Process of orientation or introduction of new employee

TELENOR has a very well organized and well established HR department that practices
all the HR strategies which are beneficial for the organization. As other departments are
well established and operational for there matters, HR department is empowered to
develop and plan what so ever is required for the company. Orientation and induction is
required for employee familiarization with the organization and TELENOR is well aware
of this fact. Affiliation with organization is only possible if the employees are informed
about each and everything. When the employee is hired he get proper orientation and that
orientation may exceed to few months until he get the feeling of affiliation and get to
know the organization well.
5.2 Training Need Assessment
Training needs analysis process is a series of activities conducted to identify problems or
other issues in the workplace, and to determine whether training is an appropriate
response. An analysis of training need is an essential requirement to the design of
effective training. The purpose of training need analysis is to determine whether there is a
gap between what is required for effective performance and present level of performance.
The needs analysis is usually the first step taken to cause a change. This is mainly
because a needs analysis specifically defines the gap between the current and the desired
individual and organizational performances. Training is a planned effort by a company to
facilitate employees learning of job-related competencies. These competencies include
knowledge, skills or behaviors that are critical for the successful job performance. At
TELENOR, there is a continuous assessment of the technical and managerial skills. For
the further enhancement of these skills formal training programmes offered at all levels.
The employees are provided with opportunities to put these skills into practice, in
preparation for the move to a managerial role. Training is viewed at TELENOR as a way
of creating intellectual capital. Employees are expecting to acquire new skills and
knowledge, apply them on job and share this information with other employees. The
training is cross-functional for sharing of skills. The employee are trained periodically
 17

either locally or abroad according to preplanned schedules. The objective of such training
is to upgrade the capabilities of employees. If an employee attends an overseas training
then he/she has to serve the company for a certain period after the date of completion of
training subject to the cost and duration of training itself. In case an employee leaves the
company during this period he/she will have to pay the amount specified at that point in
time.

5.2.1 Organizational Level

In Telenor, Training needs analysis at organizational level focuses on strategic planning,
business need, and goals. It starts with the assessment of internal environment of the
organization such as, procedures, structures, policies, strengths, and weaknesses and
external environment such as opportunities and threats. After doing the SWOT analysis,
weaknesses can be dealt with the training interventions, while strengths can further be
strengthened with continued training. Threats can be reduced by identifying the areas
where training is required. And, opportunities can be exploited by balancing it against
costs. For this approach to be successful, the HRD department of Telenor gets involved in
strategic planning. In this planning, HR develops strategies to be sure that the employees
in the organization have the required Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes based on the
future KSAs requirements at each level.

5.2.2 Individual level

Individual Level HRD department of Telenor focuses on each and every individual in the
organization. At this level, the HRD department checks whether an employee is
 18

performing at desired level or the performance is below expectation. If the difference

between the expected performance and actual performance comes out to be positive, then
certainly there is a need of training. However, individual competence can also be linked
to individual need. The methods which are most commonly used by the HRD department
of Telenor to analyze the individual need are:
Appraisal and performance review
1Competency assessments
2Customer feedback
3Self-assessment or self-appraisal
4
55.2.3 Operational Level

Operational level focuses on the work that is being assigned to the employees. The job
analyst at Telenor gathers the information on whether the job is clearly understood by an
employee or not. Training officers gathers this information through technical interview,
observation, psychological test; questionnaires asking the closed ended as well as open
ended questions, etc. Today, jobs are dynamic and keep changing over the time.
Employees need to prepare for these changes. The job analyst also gathers information on
the tasks needs to be done plus the tasks that will be required in the future.

5.3 Techniques for Determining Specific Training Needs

There are a number of methods which Telenor Pakistan is using to gather data about
employees’ performance. Each works well in given circumstances; therefore, Telenor
adopted the most suitable method for determine specific needs. Management of Telenor
believes that none of these methods can stand alone; they always use at least two, if for
no other reason to validate their findings.

Performance management System

Performance management is a process used within organization to establish and evaluate

an individual’s job performance to achieve goals and objectives.

6.1 performance appraisal

A process of systematically evaluating performance and providing feedback upon which

performance adjustments can be made Performance appraisal should be based on job
analysis, job description, and job specifications. Reviewing performance and taking
positive steps to develop employees further is a key function of management and is a
major component in ensuring the success of the company through effective employee
performance. A review is about ensuring people know what levels of performance are
expected of them and then taking action to ensure they are trained and developed to
perform effectively.
6.2 Objectives of Performance Appraisals
• To measure the work performance
• To motivate and assist employees in improving their performance
• And achieving there professional goals
• To identify employees with high potentials for advancements
• To identify employees training and development needs
• To provide a solid path for career planning for each individual
6.3 Appraisals Process
The intent of these appraisals is to review current job performance and responsibilities,
set goals and discuss further opportunities with reference to past performance at
TELENOR.
6.3.1 Appraisal categories
Appraisal category Definition of category % of total numbers of employees which can be
rated in this category.
1) Expert Indicates exceptional performance
 22

15%.
2) Very Good Indicate performance that consistently meets the requirements of the
indicates the individual is on track for advancements.
3) Good Indicated performance that requires improvement (i.e. meet requirements
without initiative or advancement).
4) Basic Performance to be improved (hardly meets requirements)
5%
Sources of Performance Appraisal:
At TELENOR the primary sources of performance appraisal are the managers and
secondary sources are employees themselves. Though the peers also give their opinion
but it usually does not have any weight age unless a conflict arises between the manager
and the employee.
6.4 PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL METHODS

6.4.1 The Critical Incidents File

The critical incidents file is a performance appraisal method in which the manager writes
down positive and negative performance behavior of employees throughout the
performance period. The critical incidents file is a form of documentation that is needed
in this litigious environment.

6.4.2 The Rating Scale

The rating scale is a performance appraisal form on which the manager simply checks off
the employee’s level of performance. Some of the areas evaluated include quantity of
work, quality of work, dependability, judgment, attitude, cooperation, and initiative.

6.4.3 Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS)

BARS is a performance appraisal method combining rating and critical incidents. It is
more objective and accurate than the two methods separately. Rather than having
excellent, good, average, and so forth, the form has several statements that describe the
employee’s performance, from which the manager selects the one that best describes the
 23

employee’s performance for that task. Standards are clear when good BARS are
developed.

6.4.4 Ranking
Ranking is a performance appraisal method that is used to evaluate employee
performance from best to worst. Under the ranking method, the manager compares an
employee to another employee, rather than comparing each one to a standard
measurement. An offshoot of ranking is the forced distribution method, which is similar
to grading on a curve. A predetermined percentage of employees are placed in
performance categories: for example, excellent—5 percent, above average—l5 percent,
average—GO percent, below average—l5 percent, and poor—5 percent.

6.4.5 Management by Objectives (MBO)

MBO is a process in which managers and their employees jointly set objectives for the
employee, periodically evaluate the performance, and reward according to the results
(review Chapter 6 for details).

6.4.6 The Narrative Method

The narrative method requires the manager to write a statement about the employee’s
performance. The system can vary. Managers may be allowed to write whatever they
want, or they may be required to answer questions about employees’ performance. The
narrative is often combined with another method.
 24

6.5 Performance Evaluation

6.5.1 Strengths
though the management claim that their performance measures are congruent to
strategies, reliable and acceptable but they emphasized that main strengths of their
systems are the validity and specificity .

6.5.2 validity
the performance measurement system use at Telenor are valid. As stated by the
management, the core job areas extensively. They are not only aligned with the
company’s strategic objectives but are also free from deficiency. Contamination is
acceptable as few things extra from the actual job recuirements are expected.
 25

6.5.3 Specificity
the performance measure used at Telenor has a very high specificity because it guides the
employees as to ehere they lack and how can they improve.

6.5 Performance Feedback

Workers at TELENOR are informed of their performance and given the opportunity to
express their opinion over their own level of performance against each competence. This
serves the following two main purposes:

• It enables the reviewer to redefine whether the initial assessment was correct, as
circumstances may exist that the reviewer is unaware of.

• By asking the worker what he sees to be his own strengths and development areas
often help to reduce negative responses and makes planning training needs/inputs
activities easier if the person is able to express for himself the areas in which he
feels he can improve.
