Huawei has established an effective mentorship program which serves to help new employees adapt to Huawei. The department leader assigns an experienced employee to a new employee when he/she reports for work. The mentor's role is to provide useful knowledge and advice, including an introduction of the living environment around the company, and also to help him/her overcome any difficulties that could arise.

The mentor is responsible for the new employee's performance during the three month probation period, which also affects his/her own performance. Furthermore, Huawei provides a certain amount of money every month for informal interaction over a cup of coffee or dinner during their leisure time, in order to encourage communication between the new employee and his/her mentor.

Other than the mentorship program meant for new employees, we also have a group of senior and experienced employees in every department who act as counselors for our employees. As retired specialists from research centers or professors from renowned universities, they draw upon their rich working experience in the high-tech industry and use their ability to put themselves in the shoes of young employees to provide helpful advice, solutions and counseling when employees encounter problems in their life and/or work.
