Industry Profile


TELECOMMUNICATION INDUSTRY

The telecommunications industry is responsible for radio, television, voice communications, and broadband services. The growth and innovation of the telecom industry has enabled people to communicate across the globe and access endless amounts of information over the internet. Broadband services are becoming faster and easier to access with fiber optic networks and wireless services like WiMax and CDMA. Many of the major telecom companies have merged over the last 10 years in order to offer massive product and service portfolios, as well as further capitalize on bundled media packages ('triple play"). These new technologies and growth through mergers are enabling these companies to find new revenue sources and growth opportunities in a mostly mature market.

World’s telecom industry is an uprising industry, proceeding towards a goal of achieving two third of the world's telecom connections. Over the past few years information and communications technology has changed in a dramatic manner and as a result of that world telecom industry is going to be a booming industry. Substantial economic growth and mounting population enable the rapid growth of this industry.

The telecommunications market is expected to rise at an 11 percent compound annual growth rate at the end of year 2010. The leading telecom companies like AT&T, Vodafone, Verizon, SBC Communications, Bell South, Qwest Communications are trying to take the advantage of this growth. These companies are working on telecommunication fields like broadband technologies, EDGE(Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution) technologies, LAN-WAN inter networking, optical networking, voice over Internet protocol, wireless data service etc.

The telecom industry is taking a crucial part of world economy. The total revenue earned from this industry is 3 percent of the gross world products and is aiming at attaining more revenues. One statistical report reveals that approximately 16.9% of the world population has access to the Internet.

The telecom industry has grown and evolved at an incredible pace for the last 20 years, dramatically changing the way people communicate and transforming everyday life along the way. Mobile broadband subscribership has topped 200 million worldwide. And the rollout of 3G networks in emerging markets means there is the potential for mobile broadband subscribers to outnumber wireline broadband subscribers within the next decade.

http://www.wikinvest.com/wiki/Broadband_Technologies


This rapid growth has created a dynamic and competitive industry climate with continually evolving technology and staggering financial stakes. The shift of revenue from fixed to mobile and from voice to data is accelerating. Data and media are being untethered from specific devices or networks. Powerful new mobile devices deliver a combination of functions previously available only from multiple tools.

The telecommunications industry was comprised of a club of big national and regional operators. Over the past decade, the industry has been swept up in rapid deregulation and innovation. In many countries around the world, government monopolies are now privatized and they face a plethora of new competitors. Traditional markets have been turned upside down, as the growth in mobile services out paces the fixed line and the internet starts to replace voice as the staple business.

Indian Telecom Industry

The India telecom market ranks among the fastest growing industries in the country. The improvement in the standard of living and the development of infrastructure and connectivity are some of the mains reasons for the significant growth of the telecom industry. The growth is expected to be more over the years.

Presently, there are around 200 million telephone lines in India which make it the third largest phone network in the world after China and the US. Today, the telecom market in India enjoys a growth rate of around 45 % which is the highest in the whole world.

India continues to be one of the fastest growing telecom markets in the world. Reforms introduced by successive Indian governments over the last decade have dramatically changed the nature of telecommunications in the country. The sector ranks second in the world, with over 225.7 million telephone subscriptions by 2008-end.The fast track growth of the Indian telecom industry has made it a key contributor to India’s progress. India adopted a phased approach for reforming the telecom sector right from the beginning. Privatization was gradually introduced, first in value-added services, followed by cellular and basic services. An independent regulatory body, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), was established to deal with competition in a balanced manner.This gradual and thoughtful reform process in India has favored industry growth. Today, there are more than 225 million telecom subscribers in India. Every month, 6-7 million new subscribers are added. Upcoming services such as 3G and WiMax will help to further augment the growth rate. Furthermore, the Indian economy is slated to sustain its 7-9 per cent growth rate in the near future. This is supported by the political stability that the country is experiencing currently. India’s demographic outlook makes it one of the largest markets in the world. A conducive business environment is also created by a favorable regulatory regime.There exists enormous business potential for telecom companies on account of the country’s low teledensity, which is close to 19 per cent presently. The Indian telecom industry is growing at the

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/monopoly.asp

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/deregulate.asp


fastest pace in the world and India is projected to be the second largest telecom market globally by 2010

The Indian Telecommunications network with 200 million connections is the fifth largest in the world and the second largest among the emerging economies of Asia. Today, it is the fastest growing market in the world and represents unique opportunities for U.S. companies in the stagnant global scenario.

History of India Telecom Market

It was in the year 1851 that the British first introduced telecommunication services in India through operational land lines near Calcutta. Gradually, the telephone service was made operational in the year 1881. After independence, the foreign telecommunication companies were nationalized and the Posts, Telephone and Telegraph (PTT) Company was set up by the Ministry of Communications.

In the year 1985, the Department of Telecommunications (DOT) was set up to provide domestic and long distance telephone services. In the year 1986, the government established two companies namely Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) for metropolitan telephone services and Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) for international telephone services.

With the economic liberalization in the 1990s, the telecom market in India was also benefited to a great extent. The service was improved and the tariffs were also significantly lowered. In the year 1997, the government set up the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to provide a comprehensive telecom service in the country. In 1999, modification was brought to the policy and the cellular services were introduced.

According to Broadband Policy 2004, Government of India aims at 9 million broadband connections and 18 million internet connections by 2007. The wireless subscriber base has jumped from 33.69 million in 2004 to 62.57 million in FY2004-2005. In the last 3 years, two out of every three new telephone subscribers were wireless subscribers. Consequently, wireless now accounts for 54.6% of the total telephone subscriber base, as compared to only 40% in 2003. Wireless subscriber growth is expected to bypass 2.5 million new subscribers per month by 2007. The wireless technologies currently in use are Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). There are primarily 9 GSM and 5 CDMA operators providing mobile services in 19 telecom circles and 4 metro cities, covering 2000 towns across the country.

Current Scenario and Growth of telecom Industry

The Indian telecommunications industry is one of the fastest growing in the world and India is projected to become the second largest telecom market globally by 2010.

India added 113.26 million new customers in 2008, the largest globally. The country's cellular base witnessed close to 50 per cent growth in 2008, with an average 9.5 million customers added every month.

According to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the month of October 2009 saw telecom operators in India register a record number of 16.67 million new mobile subscribers. The number, which combines GSM, CDMA and FWP subscribers, brings the total number of wireless subscribers to 488.4 million as of October 2009.

In all, the country's total telephone subscriber base has increased 3.26 per cent, from 509.03 million in September 2009 to 525.65 million at the end of October 2009, according to TRAI, which added that the overall tele-density (telephones per 100 people) has touched 44.87.

According to Business Monitor International, India is currently adding 8-10 million mobile subscribers every month. It is estimated that by mid 2012, around half the country's population will own a mobile phone. This would translate into 612 million mobile subscribers, accounting for a tele-density of around 51 per cent by 2012.

It is projected that the industry will generate revenues worth US$ 43 billion in 2009-10. Moreover, according to a study conducted by Nokia, the communications sector is expected to emerge as the single largest component of the country's GDP with 15.4 per cent by 2014.

The Indian equipment market is estimated at US$ 24 billion in FY09. Finnish giant Nokia is the market leader, with over US$ 3.4 billion revenues last fiscal, followed by Ericsson at US$ 2.11 billion. With the availability of the 3G spectrum, about 275 million Indian subscribers will use 3G-enabled services, and the number of 3G-enabled handsets will reach close to 395 million by 2013-end, estimates the latest report by Evalueserve.

According to a Frost & Sullivan industry analyst, by 2012, fixed line revenues are expected to touch US$ 12.2 billion while mobile revenues will reach US$ 39.8 billion in India.

Value-Added Services Market

Currently, mobile value-added services (MVAS) in India accounts for 10 per cent of the operator's revenue, which is expected to reach 18 per cent by 2010. According to a study by Stanford University and consulting firm BDA, the Indian MVAS is poised to touch US$ 2.74 billion by 2010.


Major Investments

The booming domestic telecom market has been attracting huge amounts of investment which is likely to accelerate with the entry of new players and launch of new services.

Norway-based telecom operator Telenor has bought a 60 per cent stake in Unitech Wireless for US$ 1.23 billion.

The government has approved the foreign direct investment proposal of the Federal Agency for State Property Management of the Russian Federation to buy 20 per cent stake in telecom service provider Sistema-Shyam for US$ 660.1 million.

Tata Teleservices is planning to invest an additional US$ 1 billion in its recently-launched GSM service Tata DoCoMo. It had already committed an investment of US$ 2 billion for the GSM services when it was launched in June this year.

Reliance Infratel, the tower subsidiary of Reliance Communications (RCom), will build 56,596 telecom towers by financial year 2010, increasing the total number of towers to 100,000.

BSNL, India's leading telecom company in revenue terms, will put in about US$ 1.16 billion in its WiMax project.

Vodafone Essar will invest US$ 6 billion over the next three years in a bid to increase its mobile subscriber base from 40 million at present to over 100 million.

Bharti Airtel will invest US$ 126.5 million to ramp up its networks in the Assam and Northeast circles in 2009-10.

Loop Mobile, formerly known as BPL Mobile plans to invest around US$ 75 million in its Mumbai operations.

Manufacturing

India's telecom equipment manufacturing sector is set to become one of the largest globally by 2010.

Mobile phone production is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 28.3 per cent from 2006 to 2011, totalling 107 million handsets by 2010. Revenues are estimated to grow at a CAGR of 26.6 per cent from 2006 to 2011, touching US$ 13.6 billion.

Rural Telephony

Rural India had 76.65 million fixed and Wireless in Local Loop (WLL) connections and 551,064 Village Public Telephones (VPT) as on September 2008. Therefore, 92 per cent of the villages in India have been covered by the VPTs. Universal Service Obligation (USO) subsidy support


scheme is also being used for sharing wireless infrastructure in rural areas with around 18,000 towers by 2010.

Policy Initiatives

The government has taken many proactive initiatives to facilitate the rapid growth of the Indian telecom industry.

100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) is permitted through the automatic route in telecom equipment manufacturing.

FDI ceiling in telecom services has been raised to 74 per cent.

Introduction of a unified access licensing regime for telecom services on a pan-India basis.

Introduction of mobile number portability in a phased manner, starting in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The government is implementing a program of connecting 66,822 uncovered villages under the Bharat Nirman programme. The government will invest US$ 2 billion to set up 112,000 community service centres in rural India to provide broadband connectivity in 2008-09.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has stated that foreign telecom companies can bid for 3G spectrum without partnering with Indian companies. Only after winning a bid, would they need to apply for unified access service licence (UASL) and partner with an Indian company in accordance with the FDI regulations.

Quick Facts

Total telecom subscribers 429.72 million (March 2009)

Wireless subscribers 391.76 million

Wire line subscribers 37.94 million

Tele density 36.98 per cent

India’s service providers revenue in Q1 (2009)

$8.2 billion

India’s Rural Mobile Phone Users : 100 Million


Major Players

Bharti-Airtel leads the wirless market with 24% market share. The company recently achieved the magic figure of 100 million subscribers. However, Bharti-Airtel expects a bloodbath in the Indian telecom market in the near future, and is looking to spread its risks by entering new geographies (Bharti-MTN deal is discussed in Industry Update Section).

With 12-13 players present in the market there would be a severe pressure on margins. Be it an Aircel or Etisalat, the new operators would not remain fringe players in the Indian market, but would try and rock the applecart of existing operators. The growth in Indian market could start tapering off very soon.

According to an industry expert the subscriber base will not expand beyond 800 million in coming years from current number 400 million. There have been talks about 3G and IPTV pushing growth, but it all seems far-fetched. The third generation of mobile services (3G) will be used by telcos to gain more spectrum. Besides, the services will be used only in urban areas.


Telecom industry trends

Throughout the world, telecom industry are being controlled by private companies instead of government monopolies. Traditional telecom technologies are also being replaced by modern wireless technologies, specifically in case of mobile services. One of the major objectives oftelecom industry is to enhance the quality and speed of Internet technology.

These days, telecom industry is more concerned with texts and images (Internet technologies), rather than voice (telephone service). Most of the research works are going on Internet accessibility, specifically on data applications and broadband services. The other major division


of telecom industry is mobile network sector, where lots of innovative research works are going on. Previously the traditional telephone calls used to earn the maximum revenues, but these days mobile service is going to replace traditional telephone services.

The Road Ahead

The target for the 11th Plan period (2007-12) is 600 million phone connections with an investment of US$ 73 billion. Apart from the basic telephone service, there is an enormous potential for various value-added services. In fact, the real potential for telecom service growth is still lying untapped. According to the CII Ernst & Young report titled ‘India 2012: Telecom growth continues’, revenue from India’s telecom services industry is project to reach US$ 54 billion in 2012, as against US$ 31 billion in 2008.


India is the world’s largest untapped mobile market

Competitors Profile

The main competitors of Bharti Airtel Ltd. Are

VodafoneBSNLMTNLIdeaTata TeleservicesReliance Infocomm

BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited)

On October 1, 2000 the Department of Telecom Operations, Government of India became a corporation and was renamed Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL). BSNL is now India’s leading Telecommunications Company and the largest public sector undertaking. It has a network of over 45 million lines covering 5000 towns with over 35 million telephone connections.

The state-controlled BSNL operates basic, cellular (GSM and CDMA) mobile, Internet and long distance services throughout India (except Delhi and Mumbai). BSNL will be expanding the network in line with the Tenth Five-Year Plan (1992-97). The aim is to provide a telephone density of 9.9 per hundred by March 2007. BSNL, which became the third operator of GSM mobile services in most circles, is now planning to overtake Bharti to become the largest GSM operator in the country. BSNL is also the largest operator in the Internet market, with a share of 21 per cent of the entire subscriber base

MTNL

MTNL was set up on 1st April 1986 by the Government of India to upgrade the quality of telecom services, expand the telecom network, introduce new services and to raise revenue for telecom development needs of India’s key metros – Delhi, the political capital, and Mumbai, the business capital. In the past 17 years, the company has taken rapid strides to emerge as India’s leading and one of Asia’s largest telecom operating companies. The company has also been in the forefront of technology induction by converting 100% of its telephone exchange network into the state-of-the-art digital mode. The Govt. of India currently holds 56.25% stake in the company. In the year 2003-04, the company's focus would be not only consolidating the gains but also to focus on new areas of enterprise such as joint ventures for projects outside India,


entering into national long distance operation, widening the cellular and CDMA-based WLL customer base, setting up internet and allied services on an all India basis.

MTNL has over 5 million subscribers and 329,374 mobile subscribers. While the market for fixed wireline phones is stagnating, MTNL faces intense competition from the private players—Bharti, Hutchison and Idea Cellular, Reliance Infocomm—in mobile services. MTNL recorded sales of Rs. 60.2 billion ($1.38 billion) in the year 2002-03, a decline of 5.8 per cent over the previous year’s annual turnover of Rs. 63.92 billion.

RELIANCE INFOCOMM

Reliance is a $16 billion integrated oil exploration to refinery to power and textiles conglomerate (Source: http://www.ril.com/newsitem2.html). It is also an integrated telecom service provider with licenses for mobile, fixed, domestic long distance and international services. Reliance Infocomm offers a complete range of telecom services, covering mobile and fixed line telephony including broadband, national and international long distance services, data services and a wide range of value added services and applications. Reliance IndiaMobile, the first of Infocomm's initiatives was launched on December 28, 2002. This marked the beginning of Reliance's vision of ushering in a digital revolution in India by becoming a major catalyst in improving quality of life and changing the face of India. Reliance Infocomm plans to extend its efforts beyond the traditional value chain to develop and deploy telecom solutions for India's farmers, businesses, hospitals, government and public sector organizations. Until recently, Reliance was permitted to provide only “limited mobility” services through its basic services license. However, it has now acquired a unified access license for 18 circles that permits it to provide the full range of mobile services. It has rolled out its CDMA mobile network and enrolled more than 6 million subscribers in one year to become the country’s largest mobile operator. It now wants to increase its market share and has recently launched pre-paid services. Having captured the voice market, it intends to attack the broadband market.

TATA TELESERVICES

Tata Teleservices is a part of the $12 billion Tata Group, which has 93 companies, over 200,000 employees and more than 2.3 million shareholders. Tata Teleservices provides basic (fixed line services), using CDMA technology in six circles: Maharashtra (including Mumbai), New Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Karnataka. It has over 800,000 subscribers. It has now migrated to unified access licenses, by paying a Rs. 5.45 billion ($120 million) fee, which enables it to provide fully mobile services as well. The company is also expanding its footprint, and has paid Rs. 4.17 billion ($90 million) to DoT for 11 new licenses under the IUC (interconnect usage charges) regime. The new licenses, coupled with the six circles in which it already operates, virtually gives the CDMA mobile operator a national footprint that is almost on par with BSNL and Reliance Infocomm. The company hopes to start off services in these 11 new circles by August 2004. These circles include Bihar, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Kolkata, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh (East) & West and West Bengal.

Indian regional operator IDEA Cellular Ltd. has a new ownership structure and grand designs to become a national player, but in doing so is likely to become a thorn in the side of Reliance Communications Ltd. IDEA operates in eight telecom “circles,” or regions, in Western India, and has received additional GSM licenses to expand its network into three circles in Eastern

India -- the first phase of a major expansion plan that it intends to fund through an IPO, according to parent company Aditya Birla Group .


DISCUSSION ON TRAININGDISCUSSION ON TRAINING


WORK PROFILE

I joined Airtel Enterprise Services Corporate (one of the strategic business unit of Bharti Airtel Ltd.) on 17th September’09 as a management trainee in the HR Department.

I was given the role of “EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT”

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Employee engagement, also called work engagement or worker engagement, is a business management concept. An "engaged employee" is one who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about, his or her work, and thus will act in a way that furthers their organization's interests.

Employee engagement is the thus the level of commitment and involvement an employee has towards their organization and its values. An engaged employee is aware of business context, and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit of the organization. The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement, which requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee.’ Thus Employee engagement is a barometer that determines the association of a person with the organization

Three basic aspects of employee engagement according to the global studies are:-

The employees and their own unique psychological make up and experience·The employers and their ability to create the conditions that promote employee engagementInteraction between employees at all levels.

Thus it is largely the organization’s responsibility to create an environment and culture conducive to this partnership, and a win-win equation.

Engagement is important for managers to cultivate given that disengagement or alienation is central to the problem of workers’ lack of commitment and motivation. Meaningless work is often associated with apathy and detachment from ones works. In such conditions, individuals are thought to be estranged from their selves .Other Research using a different resource of engagement (involvement and enthusiasm) has linked it to such variables as employee turnover, customer satisfaction – loyalty, safety and to a lesser degree, productivity and profitability criteria.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_management

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_management


HR practitioners believe that the engagement challenge has a lot to do with how employee feels about the about work experience and how he or she is treated in the organization. It has a lot to do with emotions which are fundamentally related to drive bottom line success in a company. There will always be people who never give their best efforts no matter how hard HR and line managers try to engage them. “But for the most part employees want to commit to companies because doing so satisfies a powerful and a basic need in connect with and contribute to something significant”.

An organization’s capacity to manage employee engagement is closely related to its ability to achieve high performance levels and superior business results. Some of the advantages of Engaged employees are

Engaged employees will stay with the company, be an advocate of the company and its products and services, and contribute to bottom line business success.They will normally perform better and are more motivated.There is a significant link between employee engagement and profitability.They form an emotional connection with the company. This impacts their attitude towards the company’s clients, and thereby improves customer satisfaction and service levelsIt builds passion, commitment and alignment with the organization’s strategies and goalsIncreases employees’ trust in the organizationCreates a sense of loyalty in a competitive environmentProvides a high-energy working environmentBoosts business growthMakes the employees effective brand ambassadors for the company

A highly engaged employee will consistently deliver beyond expectations. Thus employee engagement is critical to any organization that seeks to retain valued employees. The Watson Wyatt consulting companies has been proved that there is an intrinsic link between employee engagement, customer loyalty, and profitability. As organizations globalize and become more dependent on technology in a virtual working environment, there is a greater need to connect and engage with employees to provide them with an organizational ‘identity.’


KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Problem Faced During the Traning :

During the training, the HR Department faced a problem regarding the training. Before conducting a training the HR department informs all the employees about the trainings to be held for the month and then seeks the nominations from the employees regarding participation. After receiving the conformations from the employees, the training is conducted.


During one of the training “Building Collaborative Relations” the HR Team got nominations from 12 participants. On the day of training nobody turned up and we had to cancel the training. Though the training got cancelled but the amount was debited to the company’s account which was a loss to the company.

So for the next training to be held, firstly HR Team seek the confirmation for the employee participation from their reporting managers. After receiving the confirmation from the reporting managers, we confirmed the participation from the employees. After this the training program was conducted.

HR Report

Bharti Airtel Limited (popularly known as Airtel) is the flagship company of The Bharti Enterprises. A telecom giant, it is the pioneer and the leading brand name in the private telecom service providers with its services spanning 94 cities. It is divided and organized in mobile services, Airtel telemedia services and enterprise services (corporate and carrier) services business divisions.Airtel values its human resources and its HR policies are aimed at targeting and retaining best talent in the industry. With the focus on the same, Airtel also has a Bharti Campus Recruitment Program to recruit young students from various elite campuses

The key functions of the HR Committee include the followings:

Attraction and Retention strategies for employees. Employees Development Strategies.

Compensation (including salaries and salary adjustments, incentives/benefits bonuses, stock options) and performance targets for the Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) and Joint Managing Directors (JMDs) Executive Directors.

All Human Resources related issue.

Other key issues / matters as may be referred by the Board or as may be necessary in view of Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement or any statutory provisions.

Measurement is indeed a key driver of business within Airtel. A philosophy of constant monitoring has been established. `Measurement Boards' for every department are prominently displayed where the performance indicators of the same are displayed graphically; Airtel's HR success was powered by a well defined rewards and recognition system. This was backed by a strong training programme. ``Unlike most other organizations, we let our employees decide their training needs. And if the individual does not know what his training needs are, then we don't need him,'' says Nayar.

To encourage learning within the organization, the company has set up a state-of-the-art learning centre. Here, employees can get logged on to customized training programmes developed by British Telecom (BT). Though the material is transmitted through the Internet, they are not accessible to anybody outside the organisation as the access is protected. Airtel also seeks to certify every employee on quality and IT. ``

Eventually, there are the performance-related bonuses that set the tone for these activities. Padhi informs us that 60 per cent of the employees are on a variable pay structure, and that explains the success Airtel has had in business and HRD.


The HR department also sets up cross-functional teams in times of product or service launches. ``Such teams typically constitute high performers from each department, who collectively make it happen,''

To further HR interface, every member of the HR department has been assigned two departments each to discuss and sort out all HR, personnel and administration issues. ``The idea is to provide employees with a single window to the department,''


Conclusion

The company analysis has outlined a scenario of the Bharti Airtel. i.e, current scenario, future perspective, business development, retention of customers, Hr policies.

Bharti Airtel speedy activity is one of its best attributes that has made it gain an international status across the world. It is always updated with the latest data and is highly competent. Quality remains the prime concern and is maintained strictly by the team.

With such achievements, Bharti Airtel is still ruling the Indian telecom Industry and is aiming high to gain popularity and success around the world in brand building by making new discoveries every day. Based on the above, observations can be made that it promises unprecedented and efficient control over the market.

SWOT ANALYSIS

Strengths

Very focused on telecom. Leader in fast growing cellular segment. Pan – India footprint. The only Indian operator, other than VSNL, that has an international submarine cable

Weakness

Price competition from BSNL and MTNL Untapped Rural Market

Opportunities

Fast expanding Indian cellular market. Latest and low cost technology Huge market

Threats

Competition from other cellular and mobile operators


Saturation point in Basic telephony service

SUMMARYEmployee Engagement is the buzz word term for employee communication. It is a positive attitude held by the employees towards the organization and its values. It is rapidly gaining popularity, use and importance in the workplace and impacts organizations in many ways.The company hasn’t laid out the importance of Employee engagement on the success of a business. Airtel has thus recognized employees, more than any other variable, as powerful contributors to a company's competitive position.

We would hence conclude that Airtel believes in raising and maintaining employee engagement that requires a perfect blend of time, effort, commitment and investment to craft a successful endeavor.
