What is Customer Services Representative Pakistan’s definition of CSR and how do


you practice it?

Syed Hasnat Masood: Customer Services Representative Pakistan has come up with
a new concept about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) called ‘Shared Value’;
basically based on an idea to minimize the conventional expectations that social
sector bears from a profitable business. Shared Value can be termed as a workable
business environment which benefits its stakeholders and social community alike.

I believe that businesses’ responsibility towards the society begins when the
company’s product or service is launched. Under the ‘Shared Value’ concept, a
perfect business must make positive difference to social lives, is profitable to
stakeholders and should be ethical in its nature.

If we look at telecom sector and its contribution towards the community, we can
easily measure the difference it has made over the years. The Telecom sector alone
has contributed 5 percent towards GDP of the country, created countless job
opportunities (direct and in-direct), produced not only in-expensive but also effortless
mode of communication and much more. The Telecom sector by default provides a
major boost to the national economy, while Customer Service’s own business impact
can be felt with 18 million customers aboard – most of which are from rural areas.
Majority of these 18 million customers, for instance from Gilgit, Sakardu etc, now for
the first time have the opportunity to be a part of the information highway. They can
use internet, make calls, and have a single click solution to communicate with anyone
across the globe.

Over the years, Customer Services Representative Pakistan has played its effective
role in boosting country’s economic cycle but not compromising with the standards
that can harm society by any means. For this very purpose, we have code of conduct
for everything, from workforce hiring to vendor management, from network rollout to
anti-corruption. We have been strictly following these standards to remain
responsible; so as to help our core business needs and also support the community
with equal spirit.

How do you see in-practice CSR activities in Pakistan from corporations, and in
what areas we need further improvements?

Syed Hasnat Masood: I think, as an industry, we need to clear our concept about
CSR. Practically and realistically, I believe any business has its first responsibility
towards its shareholders, as they risk their money by investing it into business, so
naturally they deserve a return. Next comes the community, since a business
depends on the community to generate returns for its shareholders. Here is the point,
you can’t reprioritize any of the responsibilities; neither can you switch their positions.

We see many organizations participate in CSR activities by contributing with funds


that business generated from the community itself. In my opinion this is not the right
approach.

So now back to CSR concept, a business should do CSR as part of its business cycle to
keep it sustainable.
In my opinion, the core purpose of CSR should not be charity, as is usually termed,
rather a company should strategically involve itself in a CSR activity primarily based
on the expertise it carries.

How would you comment on strategic difference in CSR activities in Pakistan when
compared to other regions of the world?
Syed Hasnat Masood: Like I said, in the Public and Private sector alike, we see a lot of
contributions in the name of charity. Unfortunately, lending money and leaving the
community to do the rest doesn’t solve the problem.
In the western world, businesses evaluate their project and its impact through
scientific and systematic methods.

2. STRATEGIES AND PLANNING
2.1 Strategic and Annual Planning Processes

Our company can glide to the top using an approach in which each
subsidiary or sub-segment dynamically positions itself to anticipate the
market's direction and competitors' responses. That's one way strategic
planning gives you an edge. Unlike operational planning, strategic
planning focuses on where you need to be in three to five years.

The idea behind strategic planning is simple. It’s a road map to define
how we will achieve our goals. Each department’s strategic plan must
be developed with the following in mind:

Goal setting: What are the specific company goals for the next 12
months that will move you toward achieving your strategic objectives?
Department goals: How will each department contribute toward the
company goals?
Action steps: What activities need to occur to achieve your goals?
By when? By whom?
Communication: Inspire and update employees along the way

2.2 Departmental and Executive Committee

Each department, on a quarterly and annual basis must evaluate its


past performance based on KPI and other predefined metrics. The
evaluation process must incorporate the following:

Trend Analysis 4
Cost Analysis
Customer Feed back
Forecasting/budgeting
Corrective Action Plan and Review
Competitive landscape analysis
Contingency Review
Quality of Service Audit
(Table F – Operations)

This analysis needs to be backed with business plans for further


improvement and supplemented with action plans.

Following Departmental Managers and Teams are required to follow


this strategic planning and exercise:

Operations
Finance
Administration
Technology
Sales
Marketing

The strategic plan must include both quantitative and qualitative


targets for each department with a process to track their progress over
a period of time. Trackers are to be developed by each departmental
head for this purpose.

Based on the quarterly data collected over the last year, each
department must meet with the executive team to draft a
comprehensive annual plan in line with the mission, vision, and goals of
the company.

To ensure alignment of interdepartmental strategic plans and goals,


the executive committee will have representation of each departmental
head and will meet on a monthly/quarterly/annual review basis. The
committee will be chaired by the CEO or incase of his absence by VP
Operations / General Manager.

2.3 Business Strategies and Plans

Following a review of the past years performance, each department


head will create a strategic plan for at least 2 years. This should include
clearly defined “end-goals” for their respective departments.
Basic Approach to Strategic Planning

Essential points which should to be observed during the review and


planning process include the following:
Relate to the medium term i.e. 2/4 years
Be undertaken by owners/directors
Focus on matters of strategic importance
Be separated from day-to-day work
Be realistic, detached and critical
Distinguish between cause and effect
Be reviewed periodically
Be written down.

As the precursor to developing a strategic plan, it is desirable to clearly


identify the current status, objectives and strategies of an existing
business or the latest thinking in respect of a new venture. Correctly
defined, these can be used as the basis for a critical examination to
probe existing or perceived Strengths, Weaknesses, Threats and Opportunities.
This then leads to strategy development covering the following issues
discussed in more detail below:

3.4 Staff Performance Evaluation

Every employee at Call central is entitled to a performance review. This


review enables everyone to ensure they are being evaluated and given
feedback for improvement of their performance. The employee will be
eligible for a merit increase based on the evaluation.

The performance appraisal is carried out once a year (on anniversary).


The performance of an employee is the most important consideration in
the annual salary review. The Manager Human Resources will inform
the respective Department Head two weeks prior to when the review is
due of an employee. To ensure employee’s motivation, Performance
Appraisal must be conducted within one week of the due date.
Managers will be responsible to conduct the performance appraisal of
all staff within their departments. In case of a transfer from one
department to another, the Manager with whom the employee has
spent most of the time during the past six months will conduct the
review and forward it to the Manager of the other department. All
department heads and General Manager should use the prescribed
Performance Appraisal forms.
3.4.1 Salary Reviews
Unless agreed upon at the time of hiring, salaries will be reviewed on
employee’s anniversary date. Salary reviews during the year, without a
promotion, will be discouraged and in case a department head makes a
request, CEO’s approval will be required before awarding such
increase. Manager Human Resources will inform the Department Head
if an employee of that particular department is completing another
service year. The reviews are based on the following criteria:
3.4.2 Performance Reviews

Job content and impact on Commission’s results & organization

Area and level of responsibility


Qualification and experience on the job

Good 2% of the gross salary + COLA
Need Improvement No salary increment, just COLA
Unsatisfactory No salary increment, just COLA

A copy of the Employee Status Form with the salary change must be
forwarded to the Manager Human Resources by the respective
department head for necessary action before the payroll. All
increments will be effective from the 1st of the same month in which
the review was due, regardless of the actual hire date. All increments
due to promotion will be effective from the following month regardless
of date when the promotion was announced.
