Telenor Norway is one of Norway's major
workplaces. With a history stretching back to
the 1850s we have rich traditions as a working
partnership in which the employees see how
their efforts help to shape society every day. Our
technology contributes to shaping the society
around us. As Norway's major telecoms operator
Telenor Norway is also one of Norway's largest
workplaces. Therein lies an obligation. Our ambition
as one of Norway's major employers is to make
Telenor a productive and diverse workplace for our
employees.
Ethics and good business practice
The entire Telenor Group has a shared platform
which we call The Telenor way. All the Telenor
companies base their national company culture
on this platform. The Telenor way has three
main pillars: All initiatives must be assessed
in relation to the customers' best interests,
employees have to get involved and engage
with the company, and everything we do must
be of a high ethical standard. We have strict
ethical guidelines which all our employees
commit themselves to follow. In order to ensure
that every aspect of Telenor Norway's activities
in Norwegian society conforms to the same high
standard we actively work to ensure that all our
suppliers also conduct themselves completely
ethically and responsibly.
An inclusive workplace
Our employees have cutting-edge expertise
in a wide variety of areas. We want to have
the best people, and this requires that as an
employer Telenor Norway sees the potential
where many others still stop at the limitations.
As one of Norway's major companies we also
consider it our obligation to lead the way for
other companies. For this reason we actively
work to give employees with physical disabilities
or mental disorders an opportunity to enter the
employment market. Furthermore, we believe
that a major Norwegian workplace should
reflect the diversity in the modern Norwegian
population by recruiting employees from
immigrant backgrounds.
