Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL), a state-run telecom giant, plans to hire 10,000 employees in next two years in its sales and marketing division. Presently having 350,000 employees, BSNL was suggested by Sam Pitroda panel to cut down this number by 100,000. This recommendation was opposed by the staff unions, who said that they would go on strike if this is implemented.
On the contrary, BSNL plans to carry out a major recruitment drive, pushing the marketing and sales division size to 25,000. Kuldeep Goyal, Chairman and Managing Director, said, “It has already redeployed and trained about 10,000 people from other departments for the division and would hire about 10,000-15,000 people in the next one to two years.”
BSNL is also in the process of integrating its operations across the country. The public sector undertaking would implement an enterprise resource planning (ERP) project at an estimated cost of Rs 400 crore to integrate all its segments — finance, personnel, marketing, real estate and others, Goyal said. “The implementation of ERP will increase our productivity and efficiency.
Further, we will be able to access information across all segments immediately, as all the processes will be automated,” he said. The company had also started giving incentives to employees, specifically in the sales department, on achievement of targets within the stipulated time, he added. BSNL has set up a sales division in each of its four business verticals — fixed line, mobile, enterprise and new businesses.
With the hiring processes coming to a forefront in the present scenario, it is sure to establish a mark in the area of employment.
