Privatization
The enlargement of the cellular sector in Pakistan can also be attributable to good
governance policies of the government of Pakistan and the Privatization Commission. In
April 2006, Emirates Telecommunication Corporation, which is commonly known as
Etisalat, has unspecified management control of Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation
Ltd – part of the $2.6bn deal to buy a 26% stake in PTCL.
The winning privatization of PTCL, and accordingly UFONE, is hail as escorting in a new
era for telecommunications in Pakistan. Now, under the management of Etisalat, UFONE
will deliberate on customer needs and reimbursement and is more resolute than ever to be the
leading cellular player in the market.
UFONE
UFONE (Pakistan Telecom Mobile Ltd) a wholly-owned additional of PTCL begin its
process on 29th January 2001 as a GSM 900 service provider. UFONE is now measured to
be one of the most vigorous, violent and pioneering players in the mobile sector of Pakistan.
The enlargement of the cellular industry is a straight effect of the successful accomplishment
of the telecom deregulation and cellular mobile policy by the Ministry of IT and
Telecommunications (MOIT&T) and the support, guidance and timely enforcement of
regulatory process by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
UFONE provide International Roaming facility with more than 150 international operators
across 79 countries. With a total current investment of $400 Million, UFONE has network

PTCL Company Environment Analysis
ANALYSIS OF INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
The telecom sector of Pakistan has come in into a new era and PTCL is slowly moving
towards competition in the basic telecom services.
o improve service choice for all consumers of telecom services at competitive and
reasonable prices

o The cycle above describes the Organizational Management process at PTCL.
Financial analysis
Financial analysis is very essential for the evaluation and assessment of an organization. The
information consequent from these types of analysis should be blended to determine the
overall financial position. This analysis includes ratio analysis common size analysis and the
study of differences in components of financial statement.
In the financial analysis of PTCL we will analyze some important information about the
company. As I did my internship in human resource management, but it has not an
independent organization so I have to analyze the PTCL for the analyze purpose.
Business Strategies
PTCL choose 14th August to launch its new logo theme “feel free”. PTCL offered
nationwide calls to the people of Pakistan Company is still the trusted landmark of the
people of Pakistan.
Company vision of maintaining and growing as the leading ICT service provider and a
profit leader a five years strategic master plan for the company with defined corporate
KPI targets, timelines and ownership was developed by the PTCL management.

Analysis of External Environment
Pakistan follows a steady loom to rest its telecom market. During 1990s, as a first step,
market was opened for value added services and competition was introduced in cellular
mobile sector as four licenses were issued (MOBILINK, PTML,
PAKTEL and INSTAPHONE). The government monopoly was retained in fixed line
services,
PTCL legal monopoly ended with effective from 31st December 2002. The government
announced Telecom Deregulation Policy and Cellular Mobile Policy in 2003 and 2004
respectively.
Regulatory Environment
PTCL has recently taken an initiative to right size itself by introduction of VSS for its
employee where about 30000 employees are accepted under the scheme.
PTCL has important obligations towards defense of the country and other exciting
operators, in addition, PTCL has been declared SMP operator. Under the status of SMP also,
PTCL has certain obligations PTA, as regulator, has to ensure that new management of
PTCL fulfills all these obligations.
Industrial structure
Pakistan’s telecom sector has finally begun moving and looked set for an era of unique
escalation. The sector has observer terrific growth in recent years with teledensity depicting
major expansion after deregulation.
Current Teledensity in Pakistan has expanded exponentially from 4.3 percent in 2002-03 to
stand at 48.4 percent in 2006-07 with currently standing at over 52 percent, with better
services and competitive rates.
In recent times, the focus has increasingly shifted from Fixed Lines to Cellular and Wireless
Fixed Lines (WLL), with better portability and convenience. WLL has shown an
improvement from 0.7 percent to 1.1 percent in 2006- 07 from last year with subscribers of
2mn.
11
WORLD CALL and WATEEN have further benefited the consumers to access timely
information over the internet with competitive rates. The broadband penetration however has
not depicted as much growth as expected growing with 3.5mn subscribers in 2007 against
2.4mn subscribers in 2006.
WORLD CALL has initiated cable television services with PTCL expected to follow suit by
providing IPTV services through its Triple Play services, ensuring diversification of products
and services.
Market structure
PTCL is most important in terms of traffic on WLL in Pakistan, which has about 54 percent
market share of total traffic of WLL segment. Two major players, PTCL and
TELECARD have lost market share in WLL traffic in quarter ending December 2007 when
compared with the same quarter of the last year
PTCL share came down to 54 percent from 57 percent while TELECARD share in total
traffic has come down to 22 percent from 30 percent. World Call has gained 100 percent and
its share reached to 22 percent at the end of 2007 compared to the same quarter last year.
PTCL, the current operator in fixed line in Pakistan has also emerged as market leader with
57 percent market share followed by TELECARD and World call with 19.6 percent and 20.2
percent market share at the end of December 2007.
PTCL has already covered over 11,500 cities/towns/villages while other major operators like
World call, TELECARD and Great bear are increasing their coverage too. WLL system is
best suited for rural, sub urban areas and very congested metropolitan areas.

(d)Performance Management:
Performance management is a strategic and integrated approach the performance of the
people who work in them and by developing the capabilities of teams and individual
contributors. Performance management is a systematic course of action during which the
organization involve its employees, as individuals and team members of a task, in getting
settled objectives, which are in the line with the organizations vision , values, goals and helps
in recognition of their developmental want and needs.
In PTCL performance expectations are the source for evaluating employee performance In
my opinion, the way in which performance is generally define construct the task of receiving
suitable performance values vague and a unreasonably complexity.
From performance standards, supervisors can provide specific feedback describing the gap
between expected and actual performance.
A performance is used for appraisal which has diverse ratings. And According to these
ratings employees are provided special ranks Employee’s performance position is converse
to writing so that can improve. Benefit of standard appraisal is that employee can
herself/himself work out his performance on criteria.
Performance appraisal of the employee in association with Line Managers However if the
Line Manager and/or the employee feel it necessary, they can conduct an additional review
of performance any time they want.
The Line Manager needs to know the following at the opening of the appraisal phase:
Compensation and Benefits is generally the function of HRM most linked with the
competitors on the market and it sets the compensation policies, which are fully competitive
on the job market, but the policies still meet the targets defined by the organization.
Cash Imprest
Entertainment Allowance
Marriage Grant
Medical Facilities
Death Compensation of Diseased Employees
Life Insurance of Employees
Free Service Telephone Connection
Pensions
Benevolent Fund
Pay Scales & Opportunities
The day to-day work of analyzing jobs, evaluating their value according to an official job
evaluation plan and maintaining suitable records is are H.R. Department functions periodic
wage are conducted by the H.R department but any firm decision to rise or change the entire
schedule is particularly always reserved for the CHIEF EXECUTIVE of the organization.
There are three types of Compensation packages are being served to PTCL staff
23
(f) Organization Career Management:
Career is the series of the achievement and success taken by an individual throughout a
lifetime, for the most part consistent to that individual’s profession. A career is often
collected of the job held; designation get and works accomplished in excess of a long period
of the time, rather than just referring to one position.
"A goal that you desire to achieve in a selected field or occupation with a well-thought out
plan, to get you there is called Career Planning."
Career planning is constant procedure of assess your current standard of living, likes,
dislikes, passions, skills, personality, dream job, and current job and career path and making
alteration and upgrading to enhanced organize for future steps in your career.
Job Changes with the organization have to face a vital responsibility in trying to decide its
shape, in terms of both size and difficulty that will facilitate it to work efficiently in the
active world in which it works. Any entity chosen or supported must be expert as fit in
agreement with and focus to the civil service official process. The state personnel director
will manage the documentation of each and every endorsement & selection.
Promotion
Promotions are onward from HR & Administration Branch. Staff Branch coordinates with
HR & A Branch and makes sanctions for promotion. Cases of promotions are forwarded to
General Manager (GM) HR. For example there are 400 employees in any branch then 33%
get promotions.
24
There is different hierarchy of clerical/ admin staff for promotion:
Transfer/Posting
Staff Branch Mr. Sultan Mohi-ud-Din I/C, is in charge of posting and transfers of employees.
For this purpose there are plenty of things required like list of employees working in different
regions, their nature of work, their responsibilities are fundamentals. Even HR & A
coordinates with staff Branch because cases are forwarded from HR & A Branch. In the past
application was written for transfer purpose to BM. Then forwarded to GM HR and then
easily transfer was took place. But now there is different procedure for transfer in PTCL:
Demotion
Demotion of employee generally involves a privilege, cut in pay, status, and opportunities for
higher grades.
25
Separations
Layoffs
Termination
Resignation
Retirements
Layoff:
Layoff is the taking apart of the employees from the organization for financial reason. If
reason by a business cycle the layoff may lasts many months or year. PTCL is anxious;
layoffs take place when there is overload of human resource. Layoffs is the short term
suspension or lasting termination of service of an employee or employees’ group for certain
reasons, for instance, decisions that some positions are no more essential or a business is
slow or disruption in job.
On the other hand if the layoff arises due to restrict such as downsizing or acquisitions, the
layoff may become permanent. Lay off can take many shapes and can be both temporary and
permanent.
Termination:
There can be a lot of causes for an employer to terminate the agreement of employment but
some of the common reasons are:
1. Misconduct
2. Employee sickness
3. Removal from office
4. Non- performance
5. Bad Performance
6. End of the Contract
7. Wasteful working
26
Resignation:
Retirement:
Retirement is a process when an employee completed the maximum age of his service within
one organization. For example in PTCL the maximum age of employees for retirement is
sixty two / three years or after the completion of 30 years of service. After the retirement the
employees gets full reimbursement of retirements like annuity, health check and other
amenities. The employees also get the benefits of gratuity funds.
When unification has been particular by the national labor relations Board, as the result of an
election, as the individual and exclusive bargaining organization for the employees, then
management must bargain with it in regard to wages, rate of pay, hours of work, and other
conditions of employment. The principal tasks involved in handling labor relations are
contract negotiation, contract interpretation and administration, and grievance handling.

My internship Plan:
My experience in PTCL Branch where I did got internship being internee at PTCL my area
of focus was HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT
I observed and learned lot of things under the supervision of Mr.Abdul Waheed / ES ACS
COORDINATOR HRA LHR/ PTCL, Mr. Shahzada Khurram as well as . Ms. Sadaf Usman
Assistant Manager in PTCL
28
HR Department in which I got internship:
Under the supervision of Sir Waheed I perform some tasks which are as follows:
FSTC:
FSTC means free telephone service .This service is available to the staff of PTCL. Mr.
Waheed deal with all the cases if anyone wants to change his residential number or office
number they simply send their request by mail to MR. Waheed and then he proceed the case
as per the requirements. The file work is maintained of each and every case. I have learned
the file work of the cases.
Attendance Software:
I have enrolled majority of the staff of PTCL in the attendance software. The enrolled is done
through hand prints the verification is done thrice to confirm the originality.
Office Environment:
I have learned how to behave in office environment small things like how to deal with people
and be on time as well as time management and being on time in office.
29
My point of View:
I would say no doubt in PTCL my internship duration I have learned a lot of things and the
whole staff is very helpful, friendly, and suggest all their helping aid to me because of the
whole staff supervision is great. I am able to practice the different departments and I was
swivel to handle the singular tasks which is give to me in my tenure of internship.
During my internship I realized that PTCL is an outstanding, well and first-rate organization
and fully centralized. All the power lies in the hand of CEO of the company. PTCL
organizational structure is straight forward.
So no doubt PTCL is take pleasure in monopoly .Human resources are the most important in
the organization It incorporate all the performance and functions of the company like job
analysis, recruitment, staffing, training, designing compensation package, employee’s
appraisal system.
Human Resource Department plays the key role in the hiring, retention, motivation and
promotion of the employee’s .Although the strategies they are adopting are good but they
still need further improvement for the satisfaction of their employees and best utilization of
human resource so in return they would be able to increase their market share.
FEEL THE DIFFERENCE is PTCL slogan they are now providing the most innovative and
advanced technologies to their customers.

Recommendations:
During the term of my six weeks internship in PTCL I get to a close by analyzing the
different procedure of PTCL so I would like to give some recommendations as per my
knowledge.
The Human Resources should take fewer times in recruitment and training the staff.
Highly eligible & skilled staff may be deputed in HR department.
Stimulating courses should be adequate and more frequent during the year.
PTCL should also encourage the Billing On line system that each and every customer
should have to pay his/her bill on line basis.
The system of E-PAYMENT which although exist in PTCL finance system but there
is need of improvement this facility.
PTCL should also provide the detail of local calls made from any Land Line Number
which would be provided in Micro level to the customer.
PTCL should make Customer Care Centers in remote areas.
PTCL is not utilizing its surplus profit in long-term investment projects which be
done.
PTCL management should give concentration towards the Securities of deposit and it
should be on maximum level.
Human Resource Department may advice and train employees for one window
operation in order to reduce the time and conserve the resources.
Agents for the promotion of the company policies and to facilitate the customers by
the Human Resource Department may be appointed with proper check and balance
system.
Pay packages may be revised in the light of profit earned by the organization.
