How does HUAWEI employees’ work connected with the company's success?
Here is one of the keys of HUAWEI's success.
As mentioned by a well-known American writer and philosopher Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915). "The secret of success is this: there is no secret of success."
Indeed, HUAWEI does not conceal that its employees have a great, if not all-important, role in the development and daily progress of the company. Thus, it is not a secret what HUAWEI's driving force is.
Unlike many companies whose employees are selected according to standard norms and rules, HUAWEI’s employees are selected based on a unique value system. Interestingly, applicants are encouraged to be creative and have brilliant ideological ideas to be hired by the company. It is due to the capabilities of such people that HUAWEI has managed to develop at a rapid speed.
HUAWEI employs people who are keenly interested in research and present excellent results, devoting themselves fully to their work. HUAWEI appreciates dedicated workforce, thus it tries to support and keep its employees’ enthusiasm by rewarding them based on the results of the completed responsibilities. For example, in the first years of the company's operation every new employee was provided with blankets and mattresses. You may wonder why. The point is that many of them were so devoted to their work that they stayed in their offices day and night and slept at some corner of the office.
One of HUAWEI's employees said: "These pads and mattresses that we had were a sign hard work, and this idea has now transformed and become a motivational force that helps the employees work harder and devote themselves to their the work they do."
It should be noted that according to HUAWEI's experience, dedicated workforce makes the company more competitive and opens new doors leading to success. Thus, one can conclude that the achievements of HUAWEI are particularly related to the selection of employees, whether in direct or indirect way. The company's policies and established norms encourage the assessment of each employee's personality and special attention to the positive and distinctive characteristics of each employee.
HUAWEI has developed and created an employee ownership system in which they have their virtual shares that cannot be traded and are rewarded for effective performance. In case of leaving the company, these shares are returned to the company and the employees are compensated for them.
HUAWEI has its own management infrastructure. It is governed by a number of managers, while the final decision maker is the founder of the company, Ren Zhengfei. At least once every five years, the union is holding a vote of up to 51 members, as a result of which 17 candidates are being elected to form a board of directors.
Well, after reading this informational article, it becomes clear that in order to be a successful company its very important to have a devoted staff that will do everything to contribute to the development and success of the company.
