Competence management

In a flexible and dynamic working life, continuous learning provides a crucial competitive advantage. Today, a successful company is characterised by its ability to learn and convert newly gained knowledge into action, the ability to develop and pass on knowledge, and the will to change and to apply new insights and learning.

TeliaSonera places great expectations on both the organisation and its individual employees. Employees are expected to take significant responsibility for their own professional development, their training, and their careers. The company, primarily through operational managers, is responsible for encouraging initiatives for professional development and for creating conducive conditions. We expect a continuous dialogue between managers and their staff on professional development, training, and career choices.

At TeliaSonera, we focus on the following vital factors for success:

Attracting appropriate talent

The TeliaSonera corporate brand and Shared Values offer an attractive employer brand for potential employees with the necessary skills and expertise. These potential recruits come from both within and outside the company.

Recruiting and deploying employees

Internal recruitment is normally preferred to external. New employees and employees who change assignments should always be given a comprehensive introduction to the work place and work assignments. Succession management ensures professional management of the company and continuity of business.

Ensuring performance

We focus on excellent performance both from employees and management and use effective performance management tools such as scorecards, follow-up measurements, and planning and development dialogues.

Developing skills and expertise

We offer continuous learning and development opportunities for our employees in order to secure the competence required for current and future business needs and to ensure that our employees remain employable.

End of employment

It is our primary goal that anyone who leaves TeliaSonera does so with a full understanding of the background to the decision and the reasons behind it. Where possible, we strive to ease the transition from employment at the company to searching for a new position on the job market. Our aim is to maintain a positive relationship between TeliaSonera and the individual concerned.
