Introduction

Grameenphone limited is now the leading telecommunications service provider in Bangladesh. It

is a joint venture enterprise between Telenor and Grameen Telecom Corporation, a non-profit

sister concern of the internationally acclaimed microfinance organization and community

development bank Grameen Bank. Telenor is the largest telecommunications company in

Norway and it owns 62% shares of Grameenphone and Grameen Telecom owns the remaining

38%.

Headquarter of Grameenphone is situated at Bashundhara Residential Area. They also have

around 14 buildings in Gulshan area, which was the previous headquarter of Grameenphone

office. The “GP HOUSE”- Grameenphone 9-story headquarter building is located adjacent to the

main entrance of the Bashundhara Residential Area. The building was constructed by

“Associated Builders Corporation Limited” and Vistaara and Icon Architects (VIA) was the

consultant.

History of Grameenphone Ltd. :

The Telecom market in Bangladesh has differentiated characteristics of very low Tele-density,

inefficiency and totally controlled by capitalization. BTTB (Bangladesh Telephone and

Telegraph Board) is proved to be incapable of providing sufficient interconnections to meet the

demand of mobile services providers. The state owned BTTB has been the monopoly telephone

service provider in the telecom industry. The zest of improving the efficiency and ability of

BTTB, the government initiated a restructuring program in telecom sector to corporatize BTTB.

BTTB provided only fixed line telephony services in the urban areas where as 80% of the

population of Bangladesh lived in the rural areas. This unequal distribution of services created

the opportunity for the mobile operators to do business. In the telecom sector earth shaking

changes cropped up when Bangladesh government allowed private sector participation in

telecom sector by granting the permission to operate as a private service provider in 1989. This

license was awarded to two operators, BRTA (Bangladesh Rural Telecom Authority) and Sheba

Telecom Pvt. Ltd. Opening its mobile phone sector for private and foreign investment in 1989,

Bangladesh holds the pioneering figure among LDC’s. Pacific Telecom launched the country's

first mobile phone service.

Achieving Licenses:

The granting of service license to Bangladesh Telecom Authority in 1989 paved the way for

mobile service in Bangladesh. Pacific Bangladesh Telecom Limited (PBTL, now Citycell)

operating under CDMA technology was offered a cellular license in Bangladesh in 1993. In

1996, Bangladesh was preparing to auction off private cell phone licenses to four companies. So

in October 10 1996, at the request of Dr. Muhammad Yunus (Grameen Bank’s founder)

completely independent of Grameen Bank, a not-for-profit private company called Grameen

Telecom was formed as private limited company. Grameen Telecom, in turn, created a for-profit

company called Grameen Phone, found a foreign partner, and put in a bid; Grameen Phone

received one of the four licenses.

Launching Grameenphone service:

In the midst of lack of communication means, Grameenphone launched its service on the

Independence Day of Bangladesh with an effective and user-friendly mobile phone network.

They started their operation from March 26, 1997 with only 72 employees. They converted to

public limited company on June 25; 1997.Grameenphone put a positive impact on the lifestyle of

the people of Bangladesh.

Grameenphone was the first company to introduce GSM technology in Bangladesh when it

launched its services in March 1997. Since its inception, Grameenphone remains committed to

providing the best service to its customers, as well as launching innovative new products and

services. The Village Phone Program started in 1997 that provided a good income-earning

opportunity to more than 210,000 mostly women Village Phone operators living in rural areas.

Grameenphone makes its profits by serving wealthier urban customers. But from the point of

view of the Grameen family and its strong anti-poverty mission, the for-profit, urban-only

Grameen Phone exists for only one reason: To fund, with its profits, the extension of cell phones

into rural Bangladesh in order to provide entrepreneurial opportunity to Grameen Bank members

through Village Phone. As Dr. Yunus puts it, "Grameen Phone is merely what we need to do

Grameen Telecom’s Village Phone."

The Village Phone Program was an exclusive program to provide widespread access to

telecommunications service in remote, rural areas. Controlling by Grameen Telecom

Corporation, it enables rural people who normally cannot afford to own a telephone to gain the

service while providing the VP operators an opportunity to earn a living.

Journey of Grameenphone:

After a successful launching, Grameenphone introduced its services in the second largest city of

Bangladesh, Chittagong In June 1998. Cell to cell coverage in the Dhaka-Chittagong corridor

also enabled Grameenphone to introduce its service in a number of other districts along the way.

In 1999, Grameenphone expanded its business and started its business in Khulna. A good

number of other districts came under their coverage because of cell to cell coverage between

Dhaka and Khulna. Grameenphone was also the pioneer to introduce the pre-paid service in

September 1999. They introduce the EASY pre-paid service in the local market. Besides, it

established the first 24-hour Call Center, introduced value-added services such as Voice Mail

Service (VMS), Short Message Service (SMS), fax and data transmission services, and many

other products and services.

In 2000 Grameenphone started its services in Sylhet, Barisal and Rajshahi and brought all six

divisional headquarters under the coverage of its network. The service in Barisal region was

happening after the microwave link between Khulna and Chittagong was completed. After six

years of operation, in August 2003 Grameenphone has more than one million subscribers. And

from November 2005 Grameenphone continues to being the largest telecommunication operator

of Bangladesh with more than 5 million subscribers. Grameenphone Ltd is continuing its

operations with a success in 2006. In November it has just reached the mark of 10 million

customers.

In 2008, Grameenphone has been listed in Bangladesh capital market after completing the largest

initial public offering (IPO) ever in the country’s history. Trading of Grameenphone shares

began in both Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchanges on 16 November 2009. The number of

subscribers is increasing day by day. At present there are around 50 million telephone users in

Bangladesh whereas more than one million are fixed-phone users and rest mobile phone

subscribers.

Existing Share-holders:

Grameenphone add their exclusive, in-depth experience in both telecommunications and

development. Telenor holds 55.8 per cent of Grameenphone, with Grameen Telecom

Corporation owning the remaining 34.2 per cent. The rest of the shares belong to general retail

and institutional investors. Telenor has played a pioneering role in development of cellular

communications in Bangladesh.

- Employ turnover / employee mobility.

- Potential transfer, promotion, periods of leave etc and design and implement plans to help achieve manpower objective.

Human Resource planning should start at the beginning of the year so that HR can co-ordinate

Human Resource Planning process at the right time. Also necessary budget provisions are

important factor to look into.

While requesting for filling the replacement of existing vacant position or new position, the

concerned office will fill up a Recruitment Requisition Form and send the same to HR.

Existing Position: Respective Department will inform the HR of any vacant position so that HR

can co-ordinate / notify the other offices of the vacant position. Whenever needed, the Head of

HR will review the available records and database if there is any qualified and suitable candidate

Job description (step:3)

Recruitment process ideally begins with the analysis of job description and person specification

for that job. A job description and analysis of person specification provide the foundation for

stipulating the job title and salary scale of the position. Person specification is vital, because the

key part of the person specification, established at the beginning, is used in structured selection

interview.

performance appraisal, salary administration, promotion and other personnel actions for its

employees.

appropriate and updated job description sating clearly the context, purpose, organogram, duties

&responsibilities of the employees and person specification.

Recruitment sources (step:4)

A recruited employee who has not the right skill can not perform effectively. As a result the

overall performance level is sure to deteriorate which has significant effect on the company

performance. Therefore, Grameenphone has been on continuous search of effective sources.

Internal sources: It is Grameenphone’s policy to give preference to appoint internal candidates

provided that to apply for appointment during probationary period. Promotion internal

employees on the basis of succession planning may also be looked into. “Any change of job will

not compromise on Grameenphone will be advertised through internal notices to the concerned

officers.

External sources: Whenever job vacancies are required to be circulated outsides, the main

objective will be to attract a pool of candidates to apply from which qualified candidates for job

vacancies can be chosen. Here are a number of external sources that will be used by the

company.

advertisement in the national newspaper. The newspapers that are widely circulated will be

chosen for publishing advertisement, one in English and one in bangle.

request other organizations to circulate job vacancy among their employees. Job vacancy

advertisement may be posted in their notice board as well.

Employee referrals: Employee of the company may refer prospective job seekers to HR

Department. There are professional or technical jobs which are frequently harder to fill.

Employees with hard to hard find job skills may know others meet the desired job requirement

and do the same work. In such case, employee referral method may be useful.

Walk-in and write-ins: Often job seekers arrive at HR Department in search of a job. They

are walk-in people. Write-ins are those who send their curriculum resume for suitable position.

Both groups may be asked to fill up an application blank. Their relevant information may be kept

in active database file for any suitable position on future. Based on their suitability, they may be

called for interview against any vacant position.

a minimum time period for application receiving. The period should normally be around 8

working days from the date of vacancy announcement.

All applications are sequentially numbered in HR Applications are not accepted that are received

for whatsoever position in GrameenPhone and within one year, a candidate can not appear for

more than two tests/interview.

Selection Process

Selection Process: Selection process of Grameenphone consists of ten specific policies. Its

recruitment process is very clear and transparent. Recruitment process is graphically showed in

below:

Fig: Selection process of Grameenphone

Selection process includes series of specific steps used to decide who should be hired. Selection

process begins when recruitment ends subject to sufficient number of applicants obtained who

are willing and able to do hold the job. The purpose of the selection interview is to college

information about a candidate and assesses how far he/she can perform in the job.

Selection process involves screening and appraising the applicants in a systematic manner. Those

who are found not suitable for the jobs are excluded from selection tests. During selection

process, GrameenPhone focuses on performance-related issues whether the applicant fulfils the

job requirements and can do the job. The Company uses a multiple cutoff technique including

series of screening devices.

Short listing of candidates (step:1)

Short listing is done on the basis of appraising information on the application form in the light of

job specifications of a job being advertised. How far a candidate meets the job criteria will

critically be reviewed. The short listing method should be qualitative one where managerial

judgment plays an important role.

Short listing depends on the nature of job. Before short listing of candidates for tests, job criteria

are set by HR and line manager. There are general and technical job criteria that a candidate has

to meet for consideration of next step of selection. HR determines general criteria while line

manager determines technical criteria. Although both the type of criteria are important, however,

it is the nature of job that determines which type of criteria should give more weight age than the

other. Type of criteria should give more weightage than the other.

Short listing will be done by evaluating the following:

Educational qualification: whether the candidates has the required educational qualification.

Relevant job experience and required skills: how far candidate’s most recent job experiences and skills match the job requirements of the position in question.

The candidate may have irrelevant job experiences and skills that will not be considered during

short listing.

The following situations may provide some guideline during short listing:

Situation Short listing decision

Highly relevant job experience and meets all or most job criteria

and length of past job experience fully or fairly satisfactory

Should be considered

Moderately relevant job experience and meets most or fairly

moderate level of job criteria and length of past job experience

is fully or fairly satisfactory

May be considered subject to the

number of candidates based on above

are not up to the desired number

Irrelevant job experience meets little job criteria and length of

past job experience is fairly satisfactory or unsatisfactory

Should not be considered

GrameenPhone follows a standard set rule of short listing candidates. For one position the

number of candidates for written test should not be more than 8. The number of candidate in the

oral test should not be more than 4-5.

Role of different departments in short listing:

In regard to short listing of candidates, the role of concerned line manager and HR is crucial. HR

is in better position to know exact job specifications, job challenges and job standards; therefore

the responsibility of short listing rests on HR.

For non-technical positions, HR will exclusively be preparing short list of candidates. For

technical positions, HR will seek line managers input, if necessary. The procedure is that line

manager will send technical job criteria to HR who match those criteria and will ultimately

scrutinize candidates.

During short listing the following criteria must be taken into account:

Type of the position

Urgency of a personnel

Career development of the position

Importance of other related skills for that positions

Administering tests and interview (step:2)

Following short listing of prospective candidates, internal and external, appropriate employment

tests such as written tests, oral tests or any other tests as deemed fit will be arranged to assess

candidates suitability for the position. Through the tests candidate’s selected psychological

factors such as intelligence, aptitude, temperament and attitude will be measured/observed.

The main focus of employment tests will be on:

Job related questions to assess in-depth knowledge of the candidate

Assessment of mental ability, reasoning, memory etc.

Assessment of potentiality and ability to learn

Proficiency in performing tasks

Assessment in line with job analysis

The selection is made on the basis of successive hurdle approach. The candidates will be rejected

following each of the stage or test being administered. Performance in one test will not be

considered in the succeeding tests rather the performance in the next stage will be decisive factor

for selection.

Written and oral test questions will be drafted by HR. A set of questions of technical nature will

be drafted by line manager and be sent to HR confidentiality from which few will be included

random basis by HR. While finalizing test question, HR will stick to job requirements of the

position and maintain relevance, consistency and standard on the pattern of questions. The type

of question will depend on the nature of the position. Usually a combination of multiple and

narrative type of questions will be sent in the written test.

All multiple type of answers will exclusively be checked HR. Also the non-technical narrative

part of the written answer papers will be examined by HR while the technical part will be

checked by line manager. The compilation of score obtained in written test will be done by HR.

It is the responsibility of HR to select and call candidates for subsequent tests based on the

performances of written tests. The minimum qualifying score in the written test is 50%.

Candidates who have qualified in the written test will be invited for the next selection test.

Company presentation (step:3)

The candidates who have appeared for written test are briefed about GrameenPhone. Just before

the written test, a half an hour presentation is organized by HR on the following topics:

The Company profile

The present considerations, goals and targets of GrameenPhone

The growth of Grameenphone in the present market

The brief description of the position

Type of written test and evaluation of the result

Testing tools

The purpose of a test, its design and its direction for administration should be reviewed before a

test is used. Each type of test has a different purpose. A single test may not be implemented for

all positions.

The following test tools may be looked at before administering any tests:

Performance test: Such test measures the ability of applicants to do some parts of the work for

which they are to be hired. For example, module preparation test and presentation skill tests are

required for an officer who will be responsible for training function.

Knowledge tests: Such tests are used to measure the job-related knowledge of an applicant. For

example, a math test for an accountant and knowledge of telecommunication for a technical

position is required.

Aptitude tests: This type of test is used to measure a person’s capacity or latent ability to learn

and perform a job.

There are other testing tools available such as English proficiency, general knowledge, analytical

ability, basic computer test, stress taking ability, personality tests, interest tests that may be

administered depending on the nature of job.

Interview Steps (step:4)

Selection interview is an in-depth discussion between interviewer and interviewee. It is a pre-

plan activity that does not just happen. Planning and structuring interviews particularly defining

the criteria to be used are very important steps in selection. There are several distinct stages of

selection interview:

Interview Preparation: Before interview begins, the interviewer must be fully prepared. They

should select method, be familiar with the job requirements, skills that are sought in a candidate,

applicant’s background.

Establish rapport: When the candidate has just arrived, interviewer creates a comfortable

situation making the interviewer easy and relaxed by means of small talk, smiles and a relaxed

posture.

Conduction of the interview: This is the main part of the interview session. At least 80% time

should be allocated for conduction of interview. At this stage, interviewee ask several job

related, behavior-oriented, structured-unstructured and probing questions to assess suitability of

the candidate. A minimum of 30 minutes time should be spent for each interview although for

many positions more than 30 minutes time may be required.

An interview Board/Selection Committee will be formed comprising of the following personnel:

Line Manager

Departmental Head

Head of HRD

The board members’ grade level must be above the grade level of the position being interviewed.

All recruitment will be processed 8in HR, however, for some senior management level position,

outside recruitment may be permissible. Executive Search/Professional Consulting Firms may be

contacted by HR for this purpose.

The interview board members should ask questions that are relevant to the performances of the

job including questions regarding required skills. There are some key words to begin with

questioning such as tell, explain, how, what, why, have you, are you etc. The type of questions

may be mixed of open-ended, behavior-oriented, competency based, and stress type questions.

The nature of question will vary according o the nature and level of position. The question asked

should reflect professional image of the company.

The candidates should not be asked questions that have no relevance to job requirements.

Questions such as ‘How old are you’, ‘Are you married, single or divorced’, ’To what club do

you belong’ or any type of such irrelevant questions should be avoided.

In the end, the interview board members try to answer some key question:

(a) Can the candidate do the job?

(b) Will the individual do the job?

(c) How will the individual fit with the company?

Closing and evaluation: At this stage and indication is given that the interview is about to be

closed. The interviewer evaluates the performance of the candidate by using an assessment form

and record their overall impression based on notes taken during the interview session. The

interview board members rank all candidates and recommend candidate who is best suited to

them. The basis of preliminary selection are marks obtained in oral tests and their judgement

about the candidate’s fit for the position. The minimum acceptable score in the oral test in 4 in

the 1-8 rating scale. A consensual recommendation is made and forwarded to HR along with all

papers for next course of action. The board members sign the Employment Approval Form.

Employment of relatives: Hiring of close relatives of employee is discouraged. The close relative

and friends are not hired in the same department/Section. However, with the written approval of

authority, relatives of employee may be hired by the company in another department/Section

provided that:

The relative has the required qualification and skills required for the position,

Neither of the related person will be the line manager of the other,

The hiring will not separate a family, particularly a spouse.

When an employee becomes the relative of another by marriage, they will update HR in this

regard. If anyone hides marriage information, it will be severely dealt with according to the

company policy. A close relative is defined as parents, spouse, children, brother/sister, in-laws,

first cousins, uncles/aunts(1st) and nieces/nephews (1st).

Medical examination (step:5)

In GrameenPhone, the job offer is contingent on passing medical examination conducted by the

company nominated diagnostic centre. The medical examination is conducted once preliminary

decision for recruitment is made but the employment offer has not yet given. The purpose for a

medical examination is to obtain information on the health status of the applicant being

considered for employment and to determine whether the applicant is physically and mentally

capable of performing the job. The cost of medical examination is borne by the company.

GrameenPhone issues an authorization letter to the medical centre mentioning the name of the

applicant. In a prescribed confidential format, the centre prepares a report on the candidate’s

health status and tests findings with a final comment that the applicant is physically and mentally

fit for employment or not.

Information and reference check (step: 6)

Once a preliminary selection decision is made, HR will verify certain information as provided in

the Job application such as educational degree, work experience, last employment status. The

purpose of reference check is to obtain factual information confidentially about a prospective

employee and seeking opinions from professional referees and previous employer about his/her

suitability for a job. GrameenPhone authority will request the candidate to tell about any criminal

offence by the Court, only in the event the information seems so. GrameenPhone expects more

precis3e answers from the referees in a standard format.

Final selection and Employment offer (step:7)

Based on positive report on health status from the medical centre, and positive reference check,

the candidate is selected for appointment. At this stage, the selected candidate is offered

employment with GrameenPhone provided that all information are favorable during finalization

of appointment. The offer of employment will state the major terms and conditions of

employment with GrameenPhone. Any offer of employment must be contingent upon the final

reference check with the present or last employer.

A personal Information Form has to be filled up by the finally selected candidate. The form

contains detailed information about the new hire and the information will be part of HR database.

The information provided in this form must be true and complete, failure to provide correct

information is subject to disciplinary acti8on according to company policy
