Telenor has a 170 years old history of constant transformation and during the last few decades, Telenor Shared Services has been there to help – delivering business critical, internal systems, services and support.

We know that our people’s knowledge, engagement and willingness to serve is the key to our success. To get the best from our employees, we want to offer the best environment to work and grow in. We strongly believe that to be a combination of multiple factors;

In TSS we are striking a balance between your monthly salary and long term benefits. We are dependent on the right level of competence, so we offer a fair salary compared to the marked value. In addition you can participate in in our Employee Share Program (ESP), buying stocks in Telenor and become a co-owner of your own workplace!
In all our locations we offer pension arrangements or gratuities aiming to safeguard our employees after retirement. In some locations we also have bonus agreements.

Telenor Group has its own Telenor Academy that offers a wide range of individuals and corporate development programs within different competency domains. All Telenor employees are encouraged to spend at least 40 hours per year - within their working hours - for personal, job related development. This can include traditional class-room trainings, online training courses within most relevant professions via Telenor Academy platform – or designated expert or leadership programs designed to support individuals careers within Telenor Group.

As part of Telenor annual People Dialogue process, we encourage all our employees to discuss their development plans, either it is within their current competency area – or to be able to broaden the competency, and to follow up throughout the year.

Telenor’s culture is what binds us together across all the societies we serve. It is defined by our purpose and our behaviors. Our behaviors are both aspirational and descriptive – they say something about the culture we strive for, but they also describe what we believe to be true about our culture. We use our behaviors to attract, retain and develop employees and leaders. We also use them, together with our Code, to guide our actions and identify areas of improvement. We have four behaviors that guide the way we work:

 

Always explore

Learning, curiosity, daring

We believe growth comes from learning every day.
We’re curious and we dare to challenge, test, fail fast and pivot.​​​​​​​

 

 

Create together

Diversity, involvement, collaboration

We believe diverse teams find better solutions.
We seek different perspectives, share, involve and help each other succeed.

 

Keep promises

Trust, integrity, reliability

We believe that trust is key in all our relationships.
We take ownership and pride in delivering with precision and integrity.

 

Be respectful

Equality, care, humanity

We believe in the unique human ability to understand what matters to people.
We meet everyone at eye level, listen and show that we care.

At Telenor high performance is not only about exceeding our goals and targets. It is also about how we behave towards each other and the world around us. We want to be a trusted partner – to our customers, shareholders and colleagues, and to our business partners and the communities where we operate. Our business depends on this trust, and we are committed to conducting our business in a responsible, ethical and lawful manner.

The Code of Conduct is the foundation of our corporate culture and sets out high standards of integrity on how we do business. Our Code guides us through day-to-day dilemmas and is the basis for how we behave as guardians of Telenor’s integrity. It helps us make informed decisions and explains where to go for more information and guidance.

The four Code Principles and specific requirements contained in the Code Sections form our basic obligations. Additional requirements in our Policies and Manuals must also be understood and followed.
