Theoretical discussion
Human resources management Human resources management (HRM) is both an academic theory and a business practice that addresses the theoretical and practical techniques of managing a workforce. The theoretical discipline is based primarily on the assumption that employees are individuals with varying goals and needs, and as such should not be thought of as basic business resources, such as trucks and filing cabinets. The field takes a positive view of workers, assuming that virtually all wish to contribute to the enterprise productively, and that the main obstacles to their endeavors are lack of knowledge, insufficient training, and failures of process.
HR is seen by parishioners in the field as more innovative view of workplace management that the traditional approach. Its techniques force the managers of an enterprise to express their goals with specificity so that they can be understood and undertaken by the workforce and to provide the resources needed for them to successfully accomplish their assignments. As such, HRM techniques, when properly practiced, are expressive of the goals and operating practices of the enterprise overall.
Nowadays, the more traditional synonyms such as personnel management are often used in a more restricted sense to describe those activities that are necessary in the recruiting of a workforce, providing its members with payroll and benefits, and administrating their work-life needs. These activities can require regulatory knowledge and effort, and enterprises can benefit from the recruitment and development of personnel with these specific skills.
The goal of Human Resources Management is to help an organization to meet strategic goals by attracting, and maintaining employees and also to manage them effectively. The basic premise of the academic theory of HRM is that humans are not machines; therefore it is needed to have an interdisciplinary examination of people in the work place. Fields such as psychology,
industrial and organizational psychology, sociology, and critical theories; postmodernism, poststructuralism play a major role.

SWOT analysis of HR division
Strength: The main strength of ROBI HR Division is the authority to work. Robi HR Division has authority to maintain the employee properly. The employees from different division have proper respect for HR division. This respect was gained by the HR division.
Weakness: Still Bangladesh has lack of enough HR personnel in the marker. HR division does not have proper HR person to provide responsibilities. It is important to have employee, who understand HR and can work according to Hr need.
Opportunity: ROBI is a huge organization consisting more than 4000 employee. There are four types of employee; Regular, Contractual, Part time and Internee. ROBI HR Division has to look after all types of employee. HR division can work in several sectors along with those employees. Very few Bangladeshi organization have this kind of opportunity. An additional thing is ROBI alos has enough financial resources for successful implementation of HR policies.
Threat: It is also very difficult for ROBI to handel with such a gigantic number of employees. It is very normal that any process can be bewildered when there is nit enough internal resources. Sometimes the total process can be injudicious.
Employee Relations
As a multinational telecom organization Axiata Bangladesh (AXB) Ltd, Robi try to maintain their employee relations in their own way. The ways they are following is absolutely right from my view point.
Employee Satisfaction
Axiata Bangladesh (AXB) Ltd, RObi maintain a positive relation with employees. But after my observation of employee satisfaction I have found that some of the employees are still not satisfied with the current situation of the organization. They want additional benefits and more allowances for various factors like children education, Medical allowance, Marriage allowances.
Recommendations
I want to recommend the followings facts from my view point:
The Human Resources Management system of ROBI is up to mark. But the management authority needs to look some major issues like compensation policies, allowances and transfer policies. In the selection and recruitment process the responsible personnel should be more transparent as some of the internal and external applicants mentioned. As a multinational company for making the process more effective ROBI should analyze the recruitment and selection process of other multinational company of home and abroad. Employee should maintain a positive attitude with coworkers and as well as with management and with others departments. Robi needs more man power for handling its huge volume of employee Tactful discipline is required in order to implement sound human resource management system
CONCLUSION From the above discussion we can easily understand that Axiata (Bangladesh) Ltd. (ROBI) is one of the top mobile Company of Bangladesh. It covers the whole Bangladesh by its network. There are many product and services of ROBI is available in Market. At this moment the company is in growing position. But the strategies of the company will make the company number one mobile company of Bangladesh. So we can easily find out the Human resource practice, recruitment and selection process, employee satisfaction and relations at ROBI is a very developed and effective one. As a multinational company for making the process more effective ROBI should analyze the recruitment and selection process of other multinational company of home and abroad. That can make ROBI perfect in recruiting people and the company will get efficient professionals, that will increased the productivity as well as revenue. The most important key source factor of Axiata (Bangladesh) Ltd is it's efficient human resource. It is using the state-of-the-art GSM technology and continuously monitoring its network traffic to ensure network quality. Moreover, its decisions are based on facts from market research and coverage survey. The company also monitors it's competitor's activities and is proactive in marketing decisions.
