History of Telecom Company of Bangladesh

Mobile phone has become an indispensable part of Bangladesh's everyday-life and has made a "safe haven" in one of our pockets much like our wallet that we never want to leave at home while we head for our work! Thanks to the telecom-revolution and its relentless evolution that together have made it possible even in developing countries like Bangladesh. This is the dominant device that we now express ourselves through, get our work done and share our pains and pleasures with.

The introduction of telecommunication industry has been pretty late in our country compared to that of the neighboring countries. This is very much attributable to the political unrest in early 1990s. Citycell (Pacific Bangladesh Telecom Limited) is the first mobile communications company of Bangladesh. It is the only CDMA network operator in the country. On March 26, 1997, GrameenPhone launched its service on the Independence Day of Bangladesh. They were the first to introduce GSM technology in country. Sheba Telecom (Pvt.) Ltd. obtained GSM license in 1996 to extend its business to cellular mobile, radio telephone services. It launched operation in the last quarter of 1997 as a Bangladesh-Malaysia joint venture. In September, 2004, Orascom Telecom Holdings purchased 100% of the shares of Sheba Telecom (Pvt.) Limited ("Sheba") & renamed it as Banglalink. Robi (formerly known as Aktel) launched its operations on the 15 November, 1997 in Dhaka and on 26 March, 1998 in Chittagong. Robi was formed as a joint-venture between Telekom Malaysia (now known as Axiata) and A.K. Khan Company. NTT DoCoMo, the Japanese Telecom Giant purchased A. K. Khan's share on September 19, 2008. The Only totally Bangladeshi owned operator TeleTalk started operating on 29 December, 2004. Airtel was the sixth mobile phone operator to enter the Bangladesh market, and launched commercial operations on May 10, 2007.

Human Resource planning
Recruitment and Selection are not simply mechanisms for filling vacancies rather they are viewed as the key factor for suitable placements. With a view towards placing the right person at the position, in Robi following procedures in Recruitment and Selection will be practiced:
Robi’s Human Resource planning will start at the beginning of the year in accordance with the approved business Plan and budget provisions.
Each Division will submit their month wise recruitment plan to HR for the whole year and on the basis of such requirement HR Division will prepare the upcoming recruitment plan of each Division/Department.
Recruiting:
To find the appropriate person for the company HR develop source of qualified applicant and engaged in recruiting activities. They construct contact with different source and try to build a pool of candidate. They try to assemble candidate for the organization and from them they try to find out the right person. Recruiting is the first step for creating the human resources for the company. Company can recruit employee when they need. ROBI recruit employee during the whole year at different time. They sometime recruit employee on quarterly basis or half yearly basis or yearly basis basically depend on their business plan. As ROBI expanding their business, they need to recruit more people. They forecast their business plan and determine the duties and position before they recruit employee. To find the human resource requirement they consider all three techniques-

1) Trend analysis: Basically “trend analysis” is a study of a firm’s past employment needs over a period of years to predict future needs in order to recruit and select the adequate number of employees. ROBI do use trend analysis in order to determine the number of employees needed each period. Because they have to plan for different areas throughout the whole country for which they need to rely on past records of recruiting employees.

2) Ratio analysis: A method for determining future staff needs by using ratios between sales volume and number of employees. Since, ROBI is Tele communicating servicing company; it needs to rely on ratio analysis to have proper distribution of employees in sales sector with the comparison of demand of their product and also with the demand of supervisors in each division.

3) Scatter plot: A graphical method used to help identify the relationship between two variables. Most of the time, ROBI uses scatter plot. The reason behind this is the demand for their brand product. And the demand varies upon the population density, location of that place and their budget to provide service in those areas. Since they have to make plan depending on these factors, they prefer scatter plot to determine the number of employees for recruiting and selecting.





Sources of recruitment
 (a) Internal Recruiting: Before hiring the outside candidate an organization should forecast the inside candidate. ROBI keeps a record of every employee’s performance evaluation. They evaluate employee before training and after training. They basically evaluate employees on the basis of 3 skills – functional, behavioral and conceptual. After gathering all possible information about their employee’s performance they construct a position replacement card. They show here possible replacement, present performance and promotion potential. They also show what type of training an employee need for a particular job. They use it for promoting people for upper level or top-level management and technical position depending on the company situation. They also use it for job rotation. By using this technique they recruit most of their internal candidate.

(b) External Recruiting: External Source is one of the major sources of recruiting employee for any organization. An organization may have different types of external sources. ROBI uses different types of sources to find the candidate for their organization. Under this source, ROBI follows different kinds of sources that are described below:

(1) Advertising: ROBI uses different types of advertising to recruit employees. They generally go for newspaper advertising and online advertising. Online advertisements are presented by their own website and other websites like www.bdjobs.com.

(2) Agencies: ROBI does not go for Agency recruiting. Sometimes they take help from foreign agencies when they hire expatriate. They use foreign agencies to recruit expatriate and top-level management people. These types of recruiting decisions have been taken by their head office that is situated in Malaysia.

(3) Executive recruiting: Executive recruiters are special employment agencies retained by employees to seek out top-management talent for their clients. In order to have qualified candidates who are employed and not actively looking to change jobs, executive recruitment is also used as a source of candidates in ROBI.

(4) College recruiting:
As an important source of professional and technical employees, college recruiting is widely used by ROBI. The organization recruit employees from job fair also. They have participated in several job fairs. Last tear they participated at N.S.U job fair organized by Department of Career Service (DCS). They recruit fresh graduate from university as well. Sometimes, they recruit fresh graduate after they have completed their internship in their organization.

Forecasting the supply of outside candidate:
ROBI consider the general market condition, local market condition and occupational market condition when they recruit because it helps them to find whether they have suitable supply of candidate or not.
The procedure of CV sorting:
ROBI sorts their candidates CV on the basis of few factors. These are:
(a) Educational Qualification,
(b) Candidates Experience,
(c) Skills on the specific field;

Selection:
ROBI go through some selection process when they hire employee. They undergo some initial screening and testing technique when they select an employee. These techniques help them to find the right person for the right job. They take interview of the candidate; arrange different tests to find the appropriate person. Then they give final decision. HR manager conducts initial screening part for the selection procedure. Department super and top-level management who are responsible to take the final decision conduct the remaining part.

Problems with the Recruiting and Selection process of ROBI
# They do not follow any personnel replacement chart.
# They do not promote work samples testing to evaluate a candidate.
# ROBI doesn’t use any method to test each employee’s personality.
# ROBI doesn’t follow background checking for selecting candidates as it becomes expensive for the company.
# They do not follow appraisal interview as well as situational interview.

Training programs in ROBI

The training program is a vital link in the process of converting the recruit into productive representatives. The money, which is spent on recruiting and selecting people, may be wasted if their selection is not followed up with the proper training programs. Additionally, experienced reps may not improve or even maintain their productivity if they are not provided with an adequate amount of continual training. So the purpose of training is to relate and improve the specific performance related skills, attitudes, perception and behaviors require people’s success with the state of readiness of the force. As ROBI is the leading provider of telecom services, they always want to serve their best. That is why, they have very strong and effective training department to train the best training to their employees. At ROBI the top-level management believes that their primary competitive advantage comes from their employees. In the ever-changing mobile industry, all of they must continuously upgrade their skills and knowledge in order to maintain this competitive advantage. Their training programs are based on the job natures and the performance of the employees. Their goal is to attract, retain and motivate the very best and to do that they support training, development, and business education.
Why ROBI train their employees? : -
Primarily, the importance of training stems from the rapid change in the environment. As a developing country, people, in general, are not very aware about the technological changes that are taking place. Training basically seeks to take human inputs recruited or even existing employees and turn them into productive part of the company. Training programs should be taken as a continual, ongoing process, which improves the scenario in different dimensions such as:

1. Training process is conducted to provide the fresher’s the basic knowledge which is required to perform their specific job perfectly.
2. To implement the basic knowledge, ROBI provides practice session for the new employees. ROBI believes on the more practice the more perfect employee. That’s why they prefer more the practice session.
3. Training provides the people with better improved knowledge, working habits, working techniques which are essential part to achieve both employee and company satisfaction and thus retaining them in the long run.
4. Training programs also help trainee to develop positive attitude about themselves and company as a whole.

The Training Process:

There are three types of training process:

1. In-house training:
This training is provided through the vendors. Employee supervisors or line managers provide a coaching for the new employees. In coaching, lectures are delivered to provide knowledge related to the specific jobs. A lecture is the best way to present a basic outline of a subject in a shorter time to a larger number of trainees than any of the other techniques. FOR example, when information about ROBI’S products, new services, and new findings in the research and company information, market condition is to be given to the trainees then the training department adopts lectures. With this technique, a trainer can handle a higher number of participants and give greater volume of information within a short time period



2. Foreign training:
To implement new technology ROBI have to train their new employees from foreign countries. They have arranged for international training for their employees according their performance .In this case the employee has to sign a Bond assuring the company that he will not leave company next few years. This duration varies based on the training. Employees are mainly sent to Malaysia for this higher training. The cost of relocations, the whole expense of food and housing are providing by ROBI Company as long as they are in the abroad for training.
3. Job rotation:
ROBI provide job rotation to the entry-level employees. In this process they don’t send their employee of one department to another department for training. What they do is that they just send employee of one branch to another or one region to another.
4. Discussion:
In ROBI, when any new system is launched or when there is any need for changing the technique or policies, discussion is used as a training method where both the trainer and the trainees can share their thoughts and opinions. During the leadership training, induction training as training on advanced selling skill; the training department usually prefers discussion. Sometimes, when cases are given to the trainees to solve the problem and suggest recommendation, group discussion also takes place among the trainees.

Supervision of training by ROBI HR department: -
Though the training programs are provided by different departments, the overall supervision is upon the HR department. They look after the overall process and do some routine functions. They are as follows:
Prepare, maintain and update training related database.
Prepare career development plan
Prepare induction training manual/modules
Evaluate training program
Make agreement between ROBI and employees for overseas training
To communicate with different local training institutions
To communicate with trainers/instructors.


Objectives of ROBI training programs: -
A primary objective of many training programs is to teach the force how to be more productive. Usually, a person’s productivity will increase with experience. But if s training can substitute for some of the needed experience, higher productivity levels should be reached earlier. The most important objectives of training program are
Shown in the given diagram:













Figure: Training Programme


Training plan: -
Training gives new employees the skills required to perform their jobs perfectly. So make the training program perfect ROBI plans some steps, which are helpful for the fresher. ROBI follows the following steps to conduct training.

Trainee evaluation: -
In ROBI, The effectiveness of a training program is measured by evaluation of the trainees. This evaluation is necessary in terms of assessing the value of the training and in terms of improving the design of future programs. There are mainly four outcomes based on which the organization evaluates the success or failure of each training program. The four outcomes are- reaction, learning, behavior and results. After each training session, each must have to submit an ‘annual assessment. In the annual assessment, each trainee is asked to do report regarding the training program and is asked to do presentations on the items they have learnt. During the training, quizzes and assignments are also given among the trainees. The effects of training on their performance are evaluated through the performance they have done after taking part in the training compared to the performance they used to do before the training and by this the organization measure the effectiveness of that training program. The trainees who have gone abroad for attending the training program are required to submit a report regarding on the materials taught in the whole training program. This type of evaluation helps both the trainers as well as the trainees. The trainees can compare their own performance and try to improve according to that. The trainers can judge the effectiveness of training and can develop better strategy for the upcoming training program.

Development Program in ROBI:
Management development is any attempt to managerial performance by imparting knowledge, changing attitudes, or increasing skills. For the past few years management developments focus has been shifting from preparing managers to fill higher level slots to preparing them to meet the challenges of managing in past paced environment. Increasingly, therefore, the emphasis is on developing a manager’s ability to learn and make decisions under conditions of rapid change. The management development program may be aimed at filling a specific position, such as CEO, perhaps with one of two potential candidates. When it is an executive position to be filled, the process is usually called succession planning. Succession planning refers to the process through which senior level openings are planned for and eventually filled.

Why Development is needed for the employees? :
When ROBI selects their own employees to fill the vacant higher positions they look for the employee who are ready to get the higher position. As they do not follow the personnel replacement chart or position replacement card they have to make those employees ready to acquire the higher position ROBI conducts development program for them. It helps those employees to have the ability to take decisions those are required in the higher-level position. Those who deserve the higher position receive a development process conducted by ROBI but it’s true that their development programs are not well organized though they take some necessary steps for developing their employees who are working inside the organization.




How the development process is conducted? :
Before starting a development program they analyze the employees to what extent they need the development to be fit for the higher position. To analyze this they go through SGA (skill gap analysis). On the basis of the SGA every employee has to have a yearly 40 hours development process. It depends on the current skill of those employees. Every employee of
ROBI (from manager to managing director) goes through a career succession planning. Through this career succession planning employees develops their skills to deserve the vacant higher position.

The development process:-
To conduct a development process ROBI follows the following on the jobs techniques:

1. Job rotation:
ROBI provide job rotation to the managerial employees also. But the idea of ROBI’s job rotation policy is limited only to the department. That means they don’t send their employees of one department to another department. What they do is that they just send employee of one branch to another or one region to another. For example, for job rotation they send Marketing manager of Chittagong branch to the Marketing department of Dhaka branch as a manager which position is vacant, but they don’t send a marketing manager to the sells department or HR department or any other branches.

2. Junior Board:
It is used for operational decisions in most cases. But sometimes it is used to take very few strategic decisions (example: to design training program). To attend junior board all employees should already receive the initial coaching. In junior board top level managers have a sit with the sub-ordinates and encourage them to provide possible suggestions regarding a decision. The sub-ordinates try to give suggestions through brainstorming using the knowledge provided in the initial coaching.

Employee Relations
As a multinational telecom organization Robi Axiata Ltd, Robi try to maintain their employee relations in their own way. The ways they are following is absolutely right from my view point.

Employee Satisfaction
Robi Axiata (RAX) Ltd, Robi maintain a positive relation with employees. But after my observation of employee satisfaction I have found that some of the employees are still not satisfied with the current situation of the organization. They want additional benefits and more allowances for various factors like children education, Medical allowance, and Marriage allowances.
