Top Employers Institute has recently unveiled the list of certified Top Employer companies. For the fourth consecutive year, the Chinese company Huawei stands out by receiving the Regional Top Employer certification in Africa.
Furthermore, the company has achieved this distinction on a national level in 10 countries in the Northern Africa Region (North, West & Central Africa), including Algeria, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mali, Morocco, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Senegal, and Tunisia.
Each year, Top Employers Institute, a global reference in recognizing excellence in human resources practices, acknowledges companies committed to fostering an optimal workplace atmosphere for their people through the implementation of HR policies and practices that prioritize human well-being.
The Top Employers Institute certification program is based on evaluating companies through their participation and performance in the “HR Best Practices Survey”. This study investigates 6 key domains of human resources – Steer, Shape, Attract, Develop, Engage and Unite – subdivided into 20 themes, covering talent management strategy, work environment, talent acquisition, training and skills development, well-being at work, as well as diversity and inclusion.
“I would like to thank all the dedicated teams at Huawei who invest each year to obtain this recognition, contributing to Huawei’s reputation as a reference employer in Africa,” added Jeremy LIN, Executive Vice President of Huawei Northern Africa. He continued by saying: “We firmly place humans at the heart of our strategy, supporting our teams in achieving their full potential. Our success is propelled by our employees, and together, we aspire to shape a promising future for Africa, encouraging young African talents to stay on the continent to contribute to its growth.”
“Receiving this distinction for the fourth consecutive year reflects our ongoing commitment to promoting the well-being of our employees and our determination to establish a privileged work environment. It mirrors our social ambition at Huawei, focused on local impact in Africa,” said Andy DU, Human Resources Director of Huawei Northern Africa.
Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink says: “Exceptional times bring out the best in people and organizations. And we have witnessed this in our Top Employers Certification Programme this year: exceptional performance from the certified Top Employers 2024. These employers have always shown that they care for the development and well-being of their people. By doing so, they collectively enrich the world of work. We are proud to announce and celebrate this year’s group of leading people-oriented employers: the Top Employers 2024.”
