Overview: For economic operators, social responsibility is the challenge of the hour, and to meet it, Huawei has, above all, had to change its work system by favoring telework via digital workspaces and videoconferences, and by limiting the physical number of those who have to work in the offices of Huawei facilities. This, under strict compliance with the barrier measures in particular, regular hand hygiene – the compulsory wearing of masks – the taking of body temperature – and social distancing. And, at the same time, the company has not failed in its pecuniary duties as an employer, although the health crisis has tarnished its turnover worldwide.
