Huawei Sub-Saharan Africa listed among top employers in global ranking

Huawei Sub-Saharan Africa has seen the number of country offices represented in the Top Employer Institute’s top employer rankings rise from nine to 11. The recognition represents the company’s dedication to a better world of work and excellent HR policies and people practices.

The Top Employers Institute programme certifies organisations based on the participation and results of their HR Best Practices Survey. A survey that covers six HR domains consisting of 20 topics including People Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Wellbeing and more.

“We’re incredibly proud to have a growing number of Huawei offices across the Sub-Saharan region recognised as top employers, as well as to have seen improved rankings in several markets. “Our South African office’s rise into the top 20 of Top Employers in the country is particularly noteworthy”, Huawei Southern Africa Region, HR Director Yu Chen.

According to Chen, the increased representation in the annual rankings is a testament to the work Huawei has put into employee wellbeing across the region over the past 12 months. He further noted that the company is proud to have seen improvements in its rating for employee wellness that is largely due to the programmes for staff physical and mental health.

“We remain committed to addressing this challenge, focusing primarily on skills transfer and training. Across the region, we have a number of industry-leading intern and graduate programmes aimed at developing our ICT Talent Ecosystem,” Chen stated.
