The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has rejected a plea against the Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) 2012 launched recently by PTCL for its employees. According to details, some outsiders had filed an application in the IHC to stop the proceedings of VSS offered by PTCL to its employees, taking the plea that the scheme was not voluntary in nature. The court, however, rejected their application after hearing all the arguments and evidences.
Syed Mazhar Hussain, SEVP (HR) PTCL, told reporters: “To stay afloat in the intensely competitive environment of telecom industry in Pakistan, we have to ensure that our employees’ skills set are in sync with the evolving business requirements and changing industry dynamics. With the changing scenario, the business processes are changing and many jobs have become outmoded because of technological obsolescence.”
