Telecom service provider Uninor is scaling down operations in four circles and laying off 2,000 workforce from those four circles — Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Orissa. But the company has adopted a unique human resource model where it is inviting its competitors to come and hire from its retrenched staff.
"Around 2,000 people are affected due to this scaling down of operations, of which 400 are direct employees . There are total 17,500 employees in Uninor. We have appointed an outsourcing agency to help them (retrenched employees ) find employment outside . We have been in touch with the HR departments of our competitors and all have expressed interest," Sigve Brekke, managing director , Uninor said here on Tuesday. They are trying to absorb some of the employees in other circles.
