increase our core mobile and fixed voice revenues and explore broadband
opportunities in our emerging markets. The Telenor Group is also investing in
adjacent markets, such as basic financial services and machine-to-machine (M2M)
communication worldwide.
2. To strengthen our performance culture across the Group
In all our operating companies, we will continue the successful practice of
combining a local approach with global expertise. This means that the local

conditions and environmental management by having clearly defined standards
across our operating companies and supply chains.
3. To make responsible business a competitive advantage

core business. For example, the measures we have taken to fight climate change
are motivated both by our commitment to corporate responsibility and by an
enlightened view of associated business benefits and opportunities: what is good for
the environment is also good for business. Telenor now has clearly defined targets
on CO2 emissions from its operations - not just to help save our planet, but to save
energy and money. Telenor has a strong track record when it comes to sustainable

As far as Telenor internal culture is considered the employees are really very
satisfied with the Telenors norms and values. It is one of the major reasons that the
turn over rate of this organization is very low. By conducting the survey of the sales
employees in Telenor, we come to know that 90% of the employees of Telenor took
the Training most effective. The major aspects of Telenors culture which supports
the its objectives are
It owned a flat structure so the communication among employees is very good.
Hierarchy of the organization is well managed and there exist no fear between
subordinate and boss which give rise to the confidence in employees.
There is a vertical communication as well as horizontal communication exist among
the employees of Telenor which supports its objectives of being EEO organization.
Training is the necessary components for all the employees from CSR (customer
services representative) to CEO (chief Executive officer)
A FRAMEWORK FOR THE HRD PROCESS
HRD department follow a frame work which consists of four major steps, HRD
department is primarily responsible for Learning and development of employees.
The whole activities of HRD department in Telenor revolve around these steps.
Training Need Assessment Phase
Training Design Phase
Implementation phase
Evaluation phase
1- TRAINING NEED ASSESSMENT PHASE
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 effectiveperformance 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. In Telenor, the TNA phase has given a primarily
importance, it is conducted to determine whether resources required are available
or not. It helps to plan the budget of the company, areas where training is required,
-

and also highlights the occasions where training might not be appropriate but
requires alternate action. Training Need arises at three levels:
Trianing Need
Organizational Level
Individual Level
Operational Level
-
8/14/2019 Tel Scribd.2
11/35
Muhammad Mahmood Aslam COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Lahore
http://pakistanihr.blogspot.com
Corporate need and training need are interdependent because the organization
performance ultimately depends on the performance of its individual employee and
its sub group.
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
(KSAs) based on the future KSAs requirements at each level.
Individual Level
HRD department of Telenor focuses on each and every individual in theorganization. At this level, the HRD department checks whether an employee is
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
Competency assessments
Customer feedback
Self-assessment or self-appraisal
Operational Level
-
8/14/2019 Tel Scribd.2
12/35
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.

WHO CONDUCTS NEEDS ANALYSIS & WHY?
In Telenor, an in-house trainer or a consultant performs a needs analysis to collect
and document information concerning any of the following three issues:
1. Performance problems
2. Anticipated introduction of new system, task or technology
3. A desire by the organization to benefit from a perceived opportunity
In all three situations, the starting point is a desire to effect a change. Given this,
one must know how the people who will experience change perceive it. With out the
proper TNA, Trainer may be unable to transfer their newly acquired skills to their
jobs because of the organizational constraints.
Process of conducting a training needs analysis is a systematic one based on
specific information-gathering techniques. Training need analysis process proceeds
in stages, with the findings of one stage affecting and helping to shape the next
one. There is no easy or short-cut formula for carrying out this process. Each
particular situation requires its own mix of observing, probing, analyzing and
deducting. In Telenor Pakistan, a needs analysis is not a one-time event. Telenor
administer needs analysis at regular intervals, usually biannually or every year or
two.
WHO IS THE TRAINEE?
Training needs will differ with the backgrounds of the employees to be trained, and
their present status in the organization. Basically, a candidate for training may
come from any one of three groups:
1. New hires
2. Veteran employees
3. Trainees currently in the training pipeline (currently in the training program)
Consideration of the varying needs of these groups provides a frame of reference
for discussing and suggesting the methods of identifying training needs:
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,
-
8/14/2019 Tel Scribd.2
14/35
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. These
Methods are
Observation
Interviews
Questionnaires
Job description
Performance Appraisal
Analysis of Organizational Policies

http://pakistanihr.blogspot.com
2-DESIGN PHASE
As the information provided by the Telenor was insufficient so, we have just draw a
model of our own. The design of the training program can be undertaken only when
a clear training objective has been produced. The training objective clears what goal
has to be achieved by the end of training program i.e. what the trainees are
expected to be able to do at the end of their training. Training objectives assist
trainers to design the training program.
TRAINING DESIGN MODEL
In context with the Appendix-c, we have developed a training design model which
can be an effective one for the Telenor to train its employees. The necessary
components of Training design are
The Trainer
Before starting a training program, a trainer analyzes his technical, interpersonal,
judgmental skills in order to deliver quality content to trainers.
The Trainees
In training design there should be a close scrutiny of the trainees and their profiles.Age, experience, needs and expectations of the trainees are some of the important
factors that affect training design. Training Climate
There should be a good training climate, a good training climate comprises of
ambience, tone, feelings, and positive perception for training program, etc is one of
the necessary conditions of training design. Therefore, when the climate is
favorable nothing goes wrong but when the climate is unfavorable, almost
everything goes wrong.
Trainees Learning Style
The learning style, age, experience, educational background of trainees must be
kept in mind in order to get the right pitch to the design of the program.
Training Strategies
Once the training objective has been identified, the trainer translates it into specific
training areas and modules. The trainer prepares the priority list of about what must
be included, what could be included.

Muhammad Mahmood Aslam COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Lahore
http://pakistanihr.blogspot.com
Training Topics
After formulating a strategy, trainer decides upon the content to be delivered.
Trainers break the content into headings, topics, ad modules. These topics and
modules are then classified into information, knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
Sequence the contents Contents are then sequenced in a following manner:
From simple to complex
Topics are arranged in terms of their relative importance
From known to unknown
From specific to general
Dependent relationship
Training Tactics
Once the objectives and the strategy of the training program becomes clear,
trainer comes in the position to select most appropriate tactics or methods or
techniques. The method selection depends on the following factors:
Trainees background
Time allocated
Style preference of trainer
Level of competence of trainer Availability of facilities and resources, etc
Support Facilities
It can be segregated into printed and audio visual. The various requirements in a
training program are white boards, flip charts, markers, etc.
Constraints
The various constraints that lay in the trainers mind are:
-
8/14/2019 Tel Scribd.2
17/35
Time Accommodation,
facilities and their availability
Furnishings and equipments
Budget
Design of the training, etc
Muhammad Mahmood Aslam COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Lahore
http://pakistanihr.blogspot.com
3-TRAINING IMPLEMENTATION
To put training program into effect according to definite plan or procedure is called
training implementation. Training implementation is the hardest part of the systembecause one wrong step can lead to the failure of whole training program. Even the
best training program will fail due to one wrong action. Training implementation can
be segregated into:
Practical administrative arrangements
Carrying out of the training
Implementing Training
Once the staff, course, content, equipments, topics are ready, the training is
implemented. Completing training design does not mean that the work is done
because implementation phase requires continual adjusting, redesigning, and
refining. Preparation is the most important factor to taste the success. Therefore,
following are the factors that are kept in mind while implementing training program:
The trainer
The trainer needs to be prepared mentally before the delivery of content. Trainer
prepares materials and activities well in advance. The trainer also set grounds
before meeting with participants by making sure that he is comfortable with course
content and is flexible in his approach.
Physical set-up
Good physical set up is pre-requisite for effective and successful training program
because it makes the first impression on participants. Classrooms should not be
very small or big but as nearly square as possible. This will bring people together
both physically and psychologically. Also, right amount of space should be allocated
to every participant.

Establishing rapport with participants
There are various ways by which a trainer can establish good rapport with trainees
by:
Greeting participants simple way to ease those initial tense moments
Encouraging informal conversation
Remembering their first name
Pairing up the learners and have them familiarized with one another
Listening carefully to trainees comments and opinions
Getting to class before the arrival of learners
Starting the class promptly at the scheduled time
Using familiar examples
Varying his instructional techniques
Using the alternate approach if one seems to bog down
Reviewing the agenda
At the beginning of the training program it is very important to review the program
objective. The trainer must tell the participants the goal of the program, what isexpected out of trainers to do at the end of the program, and how the program will
run. The following information needs to be included: Kinds of training activities
Schedule
Setting group norms
Housekeeping arrangements
Flow of the program
Handling problematic situations

4-EVALUATION PHASE
The process of examining a training program is called training evaluation. Training
evaluation checks whether training has had the desired effect. Training evaluation
ensures that whether candidates are able to implement their learning in their
respective workplaces, or to the regular work routines.
PURPOSES OF TRAINING EVALUATION
The five main purposes of training evaluation are
Feedback: It helps in giving feedback to the candidates by defining the objectives
and linking it to learning outcomes.
Research: It helps in ascertaining the relationship between acquired knowledge,
transfer of knowledge at the work place, and training.
Intervention: It helps in introducing some interventions in the organization,
through evaluation we come to know where the gap exists, so we can cover the gap
by interventions.
Power: It also helps to reduce the power distance between the employees.
Control: control is shared between the employees by reducing the power
distances.

http://pakistanihr.blogspot.com
PROCESS OF TRAINING EVALUATION
Before Training In Telenor the learners skills and knowledge are assessed before
the training program. Generally in organizations, during the start of training,
candidates generally perceive it as a waste of resources because at most of the
times candidates are unaware of the objectives and learning outcomes of the
program. Once aware, they are asked to give their opinions on the methods used
and whether those methods confirm to the candidates preferences and learning
style.
During Training
It is the phase at which instruction is started. This phase usually consist of shorttests at regular intervals.
After Training
It is the phase when learners skills and knowledge are assessed again to measure
the effectiveness of the training. This phase is designed to determine whether
training has had the desired effect at individual department and organizational
levels. There are various evaluation techniques for this phase.

CONCLUSION
Telenor is doing great job in order to develop the 'soft' skills of their staff. Training is
being delivered to the employees which is not only beneficent for the company but
for employees as well. Telenor has evolved a way of working with their Trainers
which produces truly effective training programs that take into account different
and changing needs all the way from the briefing process right through to the
delivery of the training itself, and beyond. There are three stages that go into the
creation and delivery of effective training: it has to be specific to the objective, the
group of people to whom the training is available and most importantly the group to
whom the training is delivered. In Pakistan, Telenor has cultivated a good image not
only in its employees but towards the customers as well. On the whole the policies
of the companies are employees friendly, that why people love to work here, beside
this life at Telenor is very dynamic thats why people love to work there, one of the
important character of Telenor is to provide its employees the complete growth
opportunities which motivate and encourage the employees to be the part of thisprestigious organization. As far as our study is concerned we found its training
system much effective, but as the room for improvement is always there so, we
have recommended some of the important recommendations which will definitely
helpful for the Telenor training system.

RECOMMENDATIONS
We have described the Telenors training program with best of our knowledge, but
due to lack of availability of information we found certain problems in Telenor which
may not be in actual so we are recommended here generally about the effective
training program which should be adopted.

The trainer makes a difference.
The Trainer must be well trained and having required skills and knowledge which
he suppose to deliver to the Trainees.
Present training as part of a consistent message from the organization.
Training must be a continuous process, and results of the training must be
evaluate, so that the employees remain serious with the training.
Ask each individuals manager, and the managers manager, to attend the
training session with their staff.
When three management levels of an organization attend training together,
participants may be more willing to try out the ideas learned in training. This is
especially effective if participants see their manager trying out new skills as well.
Provide training in chunks that are scheduled over a period of time.
People learn more in training sessions that provide chunks, small amounts of
content, based on a couple of well-defined objectives. Participants attend these
sessions, perhaps a couple of hours per week, until the subject is learned.
This allows the participants to practice the concepts in between the training
sessions. Both the content of the training and the application of the concepts are
reinforced at each subsequent session. This also allows people to discuss their
successes and difficulties in applying the training in their actual work session. The
instructor can help participants practice the training content by giving assignments
that are debriefed at the next meeting.
Train people in skills and information that are immediately applicable on
the job.
Use it or lose it, is a common refrain about training. This is a true statement. Even
with strategic skills such as listening, providing performance feedback, and team
building, set up situations in which practice is immediate and frequent, to help
participants retain the training.
During the training session, practice active learning principles; honor avariety of learning styles.
Recognize that a range of activities and information applications will appeal to
participants varied learning styles. Use real life examples, analogies, case studies,
small group discussion, presentation, and experiential exercises.

Provide visual support materials such as films and transparencies for people who
learn visually. Activities will appeal to your hands-on crowd. Ask participants to
provide examples of the concept you are training from their experience.
Make use of session pre-work during the actual training session.
Asking people if they read the article or thought about the concept is not
enough. Be preparing the trainees before going for the training.
Increase trainee investment in the session by engaging them in tasks
requiring action.
Provide easy ways for participants to take notes; periodically ask participants to jot
down application ideas. Ask them to share these ideas in a small group. Ask people
to underline the most important concept on a page; circle the ideas that most apply
to their circumstances.
Provide reference materials and job aids for review after the session.
Include participant input into the materials, making participants more likely to use
the documents.
During the session, discuss how to address real life scenarios, and barriers
participants believe they will encounter when they apply the training.
Too often, training professionals don't prepare participants for the real world in
which they will attempt to use what they learned in class. Trainers should work on
performance barriers in the domain they can control, their classrooms.
They can share data from the needs assessment on unearthing barriers and offer
ways to overcome them. Trainers can also discuss with participants their managers'
or co-workers' possible objections. The participants can practice their responses. In
other words, trainers can inoculate participants against the thoughts, words, and
deeds of resistance. They can share suggestions from participants who were able to
transfer what they learned in training and who came up with successful approaches
to get more computer resources, supervisory support, and so forth."
