    Bharti Telecom Limited (BTL) and his company became the first in India to offer

    push-button telephones, establishing the basis of Bharti Enterprises. This first-

    mover advantage allowed Sunil Mittal to expand his manufacturing capacity

    elsewhere in the telecommunications market. By the early 1990s, Sunil Mittal had

    Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India. In 2003, the cellular phone

    operations were rebranded under the single Airtel brand. In 2004, Bharti acquired

    control of Hexacom and entered Rajasthan. In 2005, Bharti extended its network to

    Andaman and Nicobar.'2009, Airtel launched its first international mobile network

    in Sri Lanka. In 2010, Airtel began operating in Bangladesh.

    Human resource department is putting its efforts towards nurturing a winning

    corporate culture and building organizational capabilities by ensuring that its

    people at all levels are both able and willing to perform at consistently exceptional

    levels. At AIRTEL the people have been empowered to a large degree by

    minimizing out dated rules /regulations and plan to further eliminate the

    bureaucratic barriers to capitalize on their ingenuity and talent.

    HR strategy refers to the specific human resource management course of actions

    that a company pursues to achieve its objectives.

    But how these strategies/policies/practices are formulated and implemented

    at Airtel. There is a whole process behind this.

    The top team continues to play its role in providing the guidance and support to

    people at all levels. The HR (peoples) function ensures that it leads thetransformational change by nurturing a climate, which would help in converting

    AIRTEL to be one of the most critical factors leading to the development of a

    winning corporate culture. The effort continues to be directed towards developing

    the skills of the shop floor employees, improving competencies of Business

    Support Officers (BSOs), and enhancing the leadership qualities of managers.

    Like most big organizations, the development of HR Strategies is also done

    in accordance with companys mission. First, Strategic planners analyze what

    actually is the prevalent culture of the organization, what are the strengths,

    weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT analysis) of business and its market, and

    on the basis of all the above analysis, companys strategic plan is established. In

    the end HR strategies are formulated in accordance with this overall

    business/companies strategic plans.

    Based on these HR strategies, HR policies and practices are also formed and

    implemented. Any abrupt change in the market requires the organization to follow

    this analysis in order to be successful. That why organizations continuously keeps

    on updating their strategies and policies.

    Planning:

    After the emergence of new telecom companies, market has become much more

    competitive and employees are less loyal to the company. Whenever they get anyopportunity better than the existing job, they just opt for that. Which is there right,

    however Airtel is aware of this fact and thats why they do not have any formal

    strategy for succession planning. They do consider the people from inside but

    proper succession planning is not practiced in Airtel these days. When they entered

    into the market they used to have strategy regarding this matter.

    But now due to market trends they have transformed there new

    strategies. According to the management its not useful to invest a lot in the

    employee at a larger extent. They do develop employees for there career planning

    but no formal succession planning is practiced.

    Recruitment and Selection:

  • 8/6/2019 Done Deal -Airtel

    10/32

    In AIRTEL, 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.

    Internal Recruitment:In AIRTEL, internal recruitment is done for the managers of the higher grade and

    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 suitable person is not

    available for the desired post from with in the organization then external

    recruitment is carried out.

    External Recruitment:For external recruitment in AIRTEL, the line managers are required to make 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 matching up the requirement and the grade of the job. Training period is

    also specified on 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 tothe headhunters.

    The sources that AIRTEL uses to attract applicants are:

    y Inviting applications through advertisementy Recommendations from the head hunters

  • 8/6/2019 Done Deal -Airtel

    11/32

    y Applications obtained from the data bank of AIRTEL where directapplications 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 bycarefully going through all the application and by giving different weightage to the

    following criteria:

    y Quality of early schoolingy Grade obtainedy Extra Curricular activitiesy Overseas travel and educationy Agey Target Universityy Relevant experience

    The HR Department then issue call letters to the short listed candidates along with

    blank application forms by Date, time and venue for the preliminary interview is

    advised and candidates are asked to bring along completed application forms. A

    two-member panel of HR and line management carries out competency-based

    interviews focusing on functional skills and managerial and supervisory skills.

    After the preliminary interview is cleared people applying for different jobs are

    tested in different ways. The following management competencies are assessed bya panel of cross-functional assessors In the case of management selection:

    y Communication skillsy Resource managementy Rational decision makingy Influencingy Creative thinkingy Business development

    The HR department is responsible for overall administration of the assessment

    centre including training of the assessors.

    .

    The HR department provides details of remuneration package and terms and

    conditions of service. The HR department also prepares appointment letter, service

    agreement and finalizes other documentation for service record.

    Measures to improve competences and employee Skills:

    In order to make its human resource productive and efficient, Airtel aggressively

    work in developing its human resource capital through international and localtrainings as well as structured employee well-being programs, making it one of

    the most sought after companies to work for in India. Airtel conducts several

    training program in order to improve the competencies and skills of employees.

    Orientation:Airtel 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 their 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 Airtel 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 gets proper orientation and that orientation may exceed to few

    months until he get the feeling of affiliation and get to know the organization well.

    Training: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 AIRTEL, there is a continuous assessment of the technical and managerial

    skills. For the further enhancement of these skills formal training programmes

    13/32

    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 AIRTEL as a way of creating intellectual capital. Employeesare expected 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 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.

    the company through effective employee performance.

    17/32

    At AIRTEL a review is intended to be an open and frank discussion between an

    employee and their Team Leader/Manager. Generally there are two elements: first

    is the element in which discussion takes place over the strengths and areas whichneed to be developed as displayed by the job holder over the past 12 months. The

    performance is of course judged comparing the performance against the core

    indicators of Job. The second element is concerned with discussing the training

    needs/inputs activities that are considered to be appropriate to help the jobholder

    overcome some of development areas discussed in the review and also those

    activities that are deemed appropriate to build upon their current strengths.

    Sources of Performance Appraisal:

    At AIRTEL 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 weightage unless a conflict arises between

    the manager and the employee.

    CAREER PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT:

  • 8/6/2019 Done Deal -Airtel

    19/32

    Airtel faces much competition in the telecom industry so now they are focusing on

    career Management of their employees in which they enable the employees to

    better understand and develop their career skills and interests and to use these skills

    and interests most effectively both within the company and after they leave the

    firm. Career planning is the deliberate process through which someone becomes

    aware of personal skills, interests knowledge, motivation, and other characteristics;

    acquires information about other opportunities and choices; identifies career

    related goals and establishes action plans to attain specific goals. Career

    development is the lifelong series of activities (such as workshops) that contributesto a persons career exploration, establishment, and success ad fulfillment.

    Airtel gives promotion to their employees on the performance basis. The

    Airtel HR department develops the employees career development plans in which

    the HR department predicts the next logical step for their employees within five

    years.

    Importance of Career planning in todays competitive world is as important as any

    other HR function. Retaining your valuable Human resource today is one of the

    biggest challenges that organizations are facing. So, HR needs to come up with

    new strategies. Career planning and development is one of the basic tool and

    strategy organizations are using for retaining their employees. This function

    actually makes employees feel that they are important to the organization and

    Airtel wants them to be at the top in their careers.

  • 8/6/2019 Done Deal -Airtel

    20/32

    However, at Airtel this function is not fully performed or we should say this

    function is not performed satisfactorily. There are some policies on these but those

    are not recognized that well. One point of policy is found along with the

    compensation other with the recruitment. There should have been separate head for

    these policies.

    As far as the practices are concerned, all the employees were reluctant to talk about

    this . However, what we analyzed is that career development is practiced but not

    that openly. Specially, in case if some employee is considering of joining the

    competitors firm. If such is a case then organization has discipline policies for that

    even.

    Promotion Policies

    The new company structure is in five layers, comprising associates,

    specialists, managers, directors and chief officers------in that order starting from

    the bottom and working towards the top rung of the ladder.

    Until approved otherwise, it would be mandatory for the employees to spend the

    following maximum period at each level before a promotion to the next level

    depending upon availability of a slot:

    Associate 3-4 years

  • 8/6/2019 Done Deal -Airtel

    21/32

    Specialist 3-4 years

    Manager 2-3 years

    Director According to the president decision

    Chiefs According to the president decision

    However, employees who may not get a chance of promotion due to the non

    availability of an existing slot, will be compensated by being moved over with in

    the new salary range specified by the company

    Reward System:

    AIRTEL considers its employees not just as a cost but also as a resource in which

    the company has invested from which it expects valuable returns. Pay policies and

    programs are one of the most important human resource tools for encouraging

    desired employee behaviors. The advantage of paying above the market average is

    the ability to attract and retain the top talent available, which can translate intohighly effective and productive work force.

    The incentive schemes and incentive objective have been clearly communicated to

    all individuals and weekly progress report is also communicated to all concerned.

    Compensation and benefit plans:

    Airtel has a separate department for compensation. That department deals in

    staffing and compensation planning. First of all this department has all the

  • 8/6/2019 Done Deal -Airtel

    22/32

    information regarding who is being employed and how it is performing. What so

    ever promises are made to the employees, they know that. So its easy for them to

    design compensation plans because they know every employee which is being

    hired.

    Compensation and benefit plans are particularly based on performance. If

    performance is up to the standards of Airtel and the employee has good conducts

    he is rewarded. After performance evaluation, results are rechecked and matched

    with the standards. Based on that, proper compensation plans are designed.

    Salary policy

    The company will pay salaries of the employees as fallows

    o All new employees have to open bank accounts in specified banksprescribed by the company so that their salary will be credited at the end of

    each month.

    o After opening account with the bank employees should forward his accountnumber to HR.o Upon termination of services the employee will receive his salary within 15

    days up to the time of date of his last working day.

    o Upon resignation the employee will be paid his dues during a maximumperiod of 15 days from the date he left the job.

    Promotions

    Promotions are also reward management technique to motivate employees. In

    AIRTEL promotions are based on the merit and seniority (experience) basis. The

  • 8/6/2019 Done Deal -Airtel

    23/32

    one who performs well consistently over time gets reward in the form of

    promotion.

    Bonuses

    The employee may receive 1 to 3 month bonus subject to evaluation of

    accomplished objectives. In Airtel the reward system is based on the individual

    performance and individual employee performance is judged for the reward. The

    manager of respective departments recommends a candidate from his section forthe reward purpose to HR.

    Health& Safety Policies

    The safety of employees is everyones responsibility. Accidents, precaution and

    efficient work go hand in hand. All levels of employees have a primary

    responsibility for the safety and well being of all of us.

    Therefore, interest in practicing safety prevention must be encouraged by:

    a) Setting good examples.b) Acting upon safety records.c) Reviewing safety programs.d) Holding personal interviews or group conferences.e) Starting activities that will stimulate and maintain employees interests.

    No phase of operation of administration is of greater importance than accident

    prevention. It is the policy of the Company to provide and maintain safe and

    healthy working conditions and to follow operating practices that safeguard all

    employees and result in safe working conditions and efficient operations. Proper

    First Aid Kit will be available at all Airtel Offices including remote locations.

    There is no need for such measures at Airtel as maximum jobs do not expose you

    to the health hazards and are not such that require safety measures. However, there

    is a tendency of being safe in every human and that shows when you visit some

    Airtel officer to meet someone of a high designation level. You need to fulfill

    various safety measures.
