0 About Banglalink:
Banglalink is the latest addition to the GSM famil y of OTH. Naguib Sawiris, Chairman and CEO of OTH, announced the acquisition of Sheba Telecom (Pvt.) Limited with a cost of US$60m in September of 2004. The company aims to make a difference in the lives o f the people. Its vision is to understand people's needs best and will create and deliver appropriate communication services to improve people's life and make it easier. Their mission is, therefore, to reduce the total cost of ownership of buying and usi ng a mobile phone. Moreover, to achieve this vision, the company has established some values that it tries to instill in its employees. They want their employees, and the company as a result, to be straight forward, reliable, innovative and, above all, pas sionate. As Sheba Telecom, the worst performing network operator in the industry, the company had onl y 30,000 subscribers. To dispel this image, OTH had re -branded Sheba as Banglalink in an attempt to give it a completel y new image. With that kind of a reputation at its disposition, the Banglalink management has placed one of the highest priorities on improving its network. In this respect, they have installed state-of-the-art equipment from Siemens and Huawei and brought in over 1,000 people, including e xperts, from 15 countries around the world to set up the required infrastructure. The system took a record of four months (less than half the normal time) to build. When Banglalink entered the Bangladesh telecom industry in February 2005, the scenario changed overnight with mobile telephony becoming an extremel y useful and affordable communication tool for people across all segments.
Within one year of operation, B anglalink became the fastest growing mobile operator of the country with a growth rate of 25 7%. This milestone was achieved with innovative and attractive products and services targeting the different market segments; aggressive improvement of network qualit y and

6.0RECOMMENDATION
The training development program is the most effective policy of Banglalink Telecom. However, the training policy of Banglalink is the best among the other Telecom Industries. The employees are efficient and hardworking. Moreover they have the capacity to take instant important decisions regarding their departments. The Human resource Team judges the business need of the departments and after analyzing and calculations the observation report is evaluated by the HR (Human resource) director. Then, the report is transferred to the departments head. Finally, the developed training program is essential for a leading Industry or company. It helps to motivate employers to face any sort of internal and external barriers or problems. Moreover, the enhanced training facility also increases self-esteem and knowledge. Thus, Banglalink should focus more on Training Development program because the knowledge and skill of an employee is the companys brand image.
