Human Resource Management - Telenor
When an organization goes global and sets up its operations in some other
country, it faces a totally different culture of that particular location.
This local culture is their in the attitudes, work styles, demands and
perceptions of the local human resource. A globalizing organization thus
has to make its home culture compatible with the local culture in order to
survive in the local market. The new transnational environment requires a
plethora of individuals who can work internationally – who are ultimately
flexible, accommodating, and adaptable to different cultures and varying
ways of doing things. Those organizations who effectively pursue
culturally compatible HR strategies actually achieve success in long-run.

GENERAL SET-UP
There is a lot of respect given to all employees. Here the
manager shakes hand with the mop. All the employees self-
serve themselves. They are not allowed to make the service
men work in their service

CHALLENGES
Telenor face many challenges with the ever growing need of competent
Human Resource. It is really hard to hire and retain the best people
especially around the globe. The global companies face many challenges
regarding the cultural identity of respective nations. They have to adjust
culturally to the environment of respective countries. And when even
hiring the HR staff of that very country, the organization is exposed to
many challenges to make them perform at their best.
CONCLUSION
By keenly analyzing the Human resource Management of Telenor, we the
group members agree that Telenor is carrying out satisfactory culturally
compatible strategies for its HR. Although it is not promoting the
“cultural identity” agenda that aggressively but even then it is facing
much less cultural conflicts among its HR. It may be due to the reason
that it has divided itself in just two markets: Europe & Asia. The
European market almost holds the same culture and three of its Asian
market countries are Islamic. We came through very unusual facts about
managing any company’s HR. We believe that managing a competitive and
culturally compatible HR in a competitive global market is a tough job.
And Telenor is so far quite successful in hiring and retaining exceptionally
talented HR worldwide.
