INTRODUCTION:
Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) is the largest
telecommunication company in Pakistan. This company provides telephony services
to the nation and still holds the status of backbone for country's telecommunication
infrastructure despite arrival of other telecom giants like TELENOR, WARID,
MOBILINK and China Mobile. The company consists of around 2000 telephone
exchanges across country providing largest fixed line network. GSM, CDMA and
Internet are other resources of PTCL, making it a gigantic organization. TheGovernment of Pakistan sold 26% shares and control of the company to Etisalat in
2006. The Government of Pakistan retained 62% of the shares while the remaining
12% are held by the general public.
PTCL is also part of the consortium of three major Submarine communication cable
networks: SEA-ME-WE 3, SEA-ME-WE 4 and I-ME-WE. In addition to wire line
operations, PTCL also provides fixed line service through its countrywide CDMAbased WLL (Wireless Local Loop) network, under the VFONE brand name. In the
cellular segment, the second largest cellular provider in Pakistan, UFONE, is also a
wholly owned subsidiary of PTCL.
HISTORY:
From the beginnings of Posts & Telegraph Department in 1947 and establishment of
Pakistan Telephone & Telegraph Department in 1962, PTCL has been a major player
in telecommunication in Pakistan. Despite having established a network of
enormous size, PTCL workings and policies have attracted regular criticism from
other smaller operators and the civil society of Pakistan.
Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTC) took over operations and functions
from Pakistan Telephone and Telegraph Department under Pakistan

Telecommunication Corporation Act 1991. This coincided with the Government's
competitive policy, encouraging private sector participation and resulting in award
of licenses for cellular, card-operated pay-phones, paging and, lately, data
communication services.
PRIVATIZATION:
The Government of Pakistan in 1991, announced its plans to privatize PTCL, and in
1994 issued six million vouchers exchangeable into 600 million shares of the would-
be PTCL in two separate placements. Each had a par value of Rs. 10 per share. These
vouchers were converted into PTCL shares in mid-1996.
In 1995, Pakistan Telecommunication (Reorganization) Ordinance formed the basis
for PTCL monopoly over basic telephony in the country. The provisions of the
Ordinance were lent permanence in October 1996 through Pakistan
Telecommunication (Reorganization) Act. The same year, Pakistan
Telecommunication Company Limited was formed and listed on all stock exchanges
of Pakistan
PTCL launched its mobile and data services subsidiaries in 2001 by the name of U-Fone and Pak Net respectively. None of the brands made it to the top slots in the
respective competitions. Lately, however, U-FONE had increased its market share in
the cellular sector. The Pak Net brand has effectively dissolved over the period of
time. Recent DSL services launched by PTCL reflect this by the introduction of a new
brand name and operation of the service being directly supervised by PTCL.
Last Year, in middle of 2005 Government of Pakistan had decided to sell at least 26
percent of this company to some private agency. There were three participants in the
bet for privatization of PTCL. ETISALAT, a Dubai based company was able to get
the shares with a large margin in the bet.
Last year when Government was going to privatize the company there was country
wide protest and strike by PTCL workers. They even disrupted Phone lines of some
big Government institutions like Punjab University Lahore and many lines of public
sector were also blocked. Military had to take over the management of all the

Exchanges in the country. They arrested many workers and put them behind bars.
The contention between Government and employees ended with a 30% increase in
the salaries of workers.
There have been various changes in the company due to privatization. Such
examples include the VSS (Voluntary Separation Scheme for its employees), ERP
(SAP based), restructuring, B& CC (Billing and Customer Care Software) etc.
Another seemingly minor change was change of brand identity (logo) that will
present PTCL's new face after privatization, with greater focus on customer
satisfaction and bringing about of new advancements in telecom for Pakistani
consumers.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM
A Human Resource Management System (HRMS) or Human Resource Information
System (HRIS) refers to the systems and processes at the intersection
between human resource management (HRM) and information technology. It
merges HRM as a discipline and in particular its basic HR activities and processes
with the information technology field, whereas the programming of data processing
systems evolved into standardized routines and packages of enterprise resourceplanning (ERP) software. On the whole, these ERP systems have their origin on
software that integrates information from different applications into one universal
database. The linkage of its financial and human resource modules through one
database is the most important distinction to the individually and proprietary
developed predecessors, which makes this software application both rigid and
flexible.
PURPOSE OF HR SYSTEM:
The function of Human Resources departments is generally administrative and
common to all organizations. Organizations may have formalized selection,
evaluation, and payroll processes. Efficient and effective management of "Human
Capital" progressed to an increasingly imperative and complex process. The HR
function consists of tracking existing employee data which traditionally includes
personal histories, skills, capabilities, accomplishments and salary. To reduce the
manual workload of these administrative activities, organizations began to
electronically automate many of these processes by introducing specialized Human
Resource Management Systems. HR executives rely on internal or external IT
professionals to develop and maintain an integrated HRMS. Before the client
server architecture evolved in the late 1980s, many HR automation processes were
relegated to mainframe computers that could handle large amounts of data

transactions. In consequence of the high capital investment necessary to buy or
program proprietary software, these internally-developed HRMS were limited to
organizations that possessed a large amount of capital. The advent of client
server, Application Service Provider, and Software as a Service SaaS or Human
Resource Management Systems enabled increasingly higher administrative control
of such systems. Currently Human Resource Management Systems encompass:
Payroll Work Time Benefits Administration HR management Information system Recruiting Training/Learning Management System Performance Record Employee Self-Service

ISLAMABAD Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) Training and
Development department arranged a one day HR Seminar, titled Maximizing
Organizational Potential through Inclusive HR Practices at PTCL Academy
Islamabad.
PTCL Management views learning and development of employees as the most
significant area in overall Human Resource Management function and thus has
made it a strategic focus. Side by side the training campaigns for all tiers, a series of
seminars on well thought off and diversified titles have been initiated
MOTIVATION:
PTCL has started an incentive program where it gives cash to its employees based
on the number of phone and broadband installations per month. The amount is
divided among CPE installers, line men, technicians etc. What is this monetary
incentive? For the installation of 41 to 80 connections per month per CPE Installer,
a line man gets Rs. 75. Over 80 connections will give the line man Rs. 125. To me,
this does not sound much of an incentive. If PTCL has agreed in principle that an
incentive is needed to motivate its employees then it might as well make it a
reasonable one.

More importantly though I think this kind of incentive misses the point.
Providing as many connections as possible is just one metric which works well for
shareholders and executives. I believe that there is another criterion which is moreimportant: is the service working correctly and is the billing correct? This should
be the part of the score card for the employees and PTCL which determines their
incentive. Theres no point in installing a service for which there are lingering
issues and the customers are not satisfied. What do you think?
Heres the justification for this, taken fromPTCL web site.
In order to have sustainable business performance in the highly competitive
environment of the Telecom industry, PTCL has to deliver highest quality services
to its customers. Quick provisioning of PTCL services brings lot of value to the
customers which not only guarantees more revenues but creates goodwill for the
company.
In the backdrop of this situation, PTCL management is taking key initiatives in
different business areas. One important move aimed at improving the Sales and
Customer satisfaction is to boost the morale and motivation level of our
employees.
An Incentive Plan has been worked out to present substantial cash rewards to the
employees performing beyond the specified benchmarks. This will be the start of
an era where the rewards shall be linked with the performance and achievement
of targets.
COMPENSATION:
It is a system in which an employee is rewarded on the effective and efficient
required performance. PTCL has a very organized and effective compensation
system according to the rules and regulations of Government of Pakistan. They
are offering 30% more pay then other Government Organizations. The rewards,
benefits, allowances that are offered by PTCL for its employees and workers as
well as officers are as follows:

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:
To measure the performance there are few methods and standards and
benchmarks, which an organization have to follow, in the case of PTCL too. Theirmain objectives are as follows:
Improvement in Performance Effectiveness, Efficiency, Productivity, Motivation Pay and Benefit Adjustments Training & Development Needs Career Planning & Development with Personal and Employee
Development
Staffing (Recruitment & Selection) Response and Feedback from
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL METHODS:
There are many performance appraisal methods but in PTCL they use Rating scale
for performance evaluation.
RATING SCALE:
The rating scale method offers a high degree of structure for appraisals. Each
employee trait or characteristic is rated on a bipolar scale that usually has several
points ranging from "poor" to "excellent" (or some similar arrangement). The traits
assessed on these scales include employee attributes such as cooperation,
communications ability, initiative, punctuality and technical (work skills)
competence. The nature and scope of the traits selected for inclusion is limited only
by the imagination of the scale's designer, or by the organization's need to know.

PROBLEMS IN EXISTING HR SYSTEM OF
PTCL
PTCL is a well-organized company and operates efficiently in this competitive
environment so it was difficult for me to identify the problem. But nothing is perfect in
this world there is always a room for improvement. According to my limited
knowledge following were the problems and challenges that can directly affect the
efficiency and performance of the bank or in other words improvement need be made
in the following areas:
There is a lack of balance in incentives given to old and new employees. Newemployees are paid more which de-motivates the old ones.
Lack of proper computer skills in old employees is another problem. System problems do arise at times and customers have to wait for the system
to work properly.
Some employees misuse the resources of the company. Employees were not very effective in communication among themselves.
They didnt share the experience with each other and didnt care about the
other employees. Some employees lacked the trust in management.
Ineffective public dealing was another major problem which I experiencedduring my Internship.
Regularity and punctuality shows the character of big and good executives.But this problem is also faced by the overconfident employees

CONCLUSION
Overall PTCL still behaves as a monopoly it has to change its attitude. Good
Management Information system can play a vital role in building infrastructure of
telecommunication in Pakistan. There is need to realize the importance of
management information system in mind of PTCLs employees and to train them
according to emerging technologies in the world. There is need of improvement like
at operational level PTCL is using partially OAS (Office automation system); the use
word processing is in a limit, because PTCL ground level labors are not educated as
well as supervisor level employees.
After getting all the desired information and critically analyzing the organization
we like to recommend and conclude our thinking and findings in following points.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
PTCL is an overstaffed Organization so there will be Restructuring of theorganization or Downsizing.
PTCL should be up to the International standards i.e. 166 lines/employee(lineman).
Staffing will have to be on Merit and Fair rather than on Personnel links andunfair means.
The employees at PTCL have lackness in motivation so the organization hasto set challenging tasks and jobs for them to make them active and energetic.
The compensation system should be equivalent to the other multinational andinternational organizations working in Pakistan in the same field andindustry.
Along with the domestic Trainers, PTCL will have to hire External Trainersfrom France, Germany, China, and Switzerland so that they will able to traintheir employees in Pakistan on International standards and with modernEducation and Technology.
There are only 38 dispensaries for 56,000 PTCL employees all over thePakistan that is less so they will have to increase the number of Dispensaries
Promotions in PTCL should be on the basis of achievements, skills,performances, behavior, attributes, rather than on seniority.
After getting training the employees should be on the right place for whichthey were trained for.
