HUAWEI SCOOPS BEST EMPLOYER AWARD IN BOTSWANA

Despite COVID-19 pandemic challenges, Huawei has remained the best employer in Botswana, two years in a row. “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 talent, has helped cement Huawei’s position as an ICT employer of choice,” said Huawei Botswana Human Resourc Director, Thulisile Mothupi.

Mothupi made the remarks after Huawei Botswana was awarded best employer by Top Employers Institute, a global authority on excellence in people practices.

Through the Top Employers Institute certification programme, participating companies are annually assessed, surveyed, and accredited as leading employers in respect of their human resources practices. Commenting on the achievement, Top Employers Institute Chief Executive Officer, David Plink, applauded Huawei, citing that the past two years have negatively impacted organisations across the world. “Huawei has continued to show that it prioritises maintaining excellent people practices in their workplace. 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.”

In addition to Botswana, Huawei also received the prestigious award in Zambia, Kenya, Nigeria, Angola, Malawi, Ghana, South Africa, Mauritius and Uganda. Meanwhile, Huawei also received accreditation as Continental HQ Top Employer for 2022 in Sub Saharan Africa.
