Huawei Earns Recognition As Greece’s Top Employer For Third Year Running

Huawei has once again earned a prestigious spot among Greece’s top employers for 2025, according to the Top Employers Institute, marking the third consecutive year it has received this distinction at the national level, and the sixth year running in Europe.

This honour, awarded by the independent organisation, recognises companies worldwide for their outstanding practices in key areas including Human Resources Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning and Development, Diversity and Inclusion, and Employee well-being.

The award highlights Huawei’s unwavering commitment to creating a supportive and dynamic work environment that fosters employee growth. This is further reflected in the company’s ongoing investment in educational and professional development programmes. Huawei also continues its mission to drive digital transformation and sustainable socio-economic development, delivering meaningful benefits to Greek society as a whole.

Eliza Apostolou, HR Manager at Huawei Greece, shared: “We are incredibly proud that Huawei has been named a top employer for the third year in a row in Greece. This achievement underscores our dedication to fostering a workplace that nurtures both innovation and the well-being of our people. We thank all our employees for their contributions — this success is the result of our collective effort.”

As part of its commitment to talent development, Huawei is also amplifying its efforts to create equal opportunities in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector. A key example is the continued funding of the Huawei Women in Tech training initiative. Now in its second year, this programme partners with the Public Employment Service (DYPA) and Interlei to offer skill-building opportunities to unemployed women aged 25 to 45. The goal is to enhance their digital competencies and help close the skills gap, empowering women to thrive in the modern workforce.

TikTok Returns To US App Stores 

TikTok is once again available for download in the Apple and Google app stores in the US, following a delay in the enforcement of its ban by former President Donald Trump. The ban’s postponement until April 5 gives the administration additional time to evaluate the situation.

Key Developments

The decision to restore TikTok access came after Google and Apple received reassurances from the Trump administration that they would not face legal consequences for reinstating the Chinese-owned app. According to Bloomberg, US Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter outlining these guarantees.

In an executive order signed on January 20, Trump instructed the attorney general not to take enforcement action for 75 days, providing time for his administration to determine how to proceed.

Uncertain Future For TikTok In The US

While TikTok is back on the US app stores, its long-term survival remains uncertain. If no deal is reached by early April to address national security concerns, the app may face another shutdown. ByteDance, the parent company, has insisted that TikTok is not for sale.

Legislation And Pressure On ByteDance

The Protecting Americans from Foreign Enemy-Controlled Apps Act, which passed with bipartisan support in Congress, mandates a nationwide ban on TikTok unless ByteDance sells its US operations. This law was signed by President Joe Biden in April of last year.

In late January, the app was briefly removed from US stores following the ban’s activation, impacting over 170 million American users. However, TikTok was restored soon after, following Trump’s intervention in his first hours as president. During that time, he signed an executive order allowing 75 days for a deal that would safeguard national security. Trump also suggested that the US could take a 50% stake in TikTok, a move he believed would keep the app “in good hands.”
