Chinese tech giant, Huawei, wins best employer award
Chinese tech giant, Huawei, has been named the top employer for the second consecutive year in Botswana.
The award was given by the Top Employers Institute, the global authority on excellence in people practices.
The award which underlines the work that Huawei has done to ensure that its employees across the region feel valued and cared for, comes after COVID-19 disrupted life and working conditions for people around the world.
Huawei Botswana HR (Human Resources) Director Thulisile Mothupi said while announcing this in a statement said, “Throughout the pandemic, Huawei ensured that its employees were a top priority and placed an even greater emphasis on their well-being.
“This, together with our other initiatives to build a strong pipeline of local ICT (information and communications technology) talent, has helped cement Huawei’s position as an ICT employer of choice.
“Huawei Botswana is incredibly proud to receive this award, which reflects our commitment and continued focus toward improving HR best practices within Botswana.”
The Top Employer Awards ceremony also saw Huawei receive accreditation as Continental HQ Top Employer for 2022 in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Through the Top Employers Institute certification program, participating companies are annually assessed, surveyed, and accredited as leading employers in respect of their human resources practices.
“In the past year, they continued to meet the challenges of the wider world of work while working determinedly to positively impact the lives of their workforce,” said Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink.
