At the beginning of each year, the market research firm Target honors its employees and freelancers who have distinguished themselves in the past year with a ceremony. Due to the health crisis related to the Covid-19 pandemic, this event will not take place. However, the firm has partially respected the tradition by nominating its best employees.

In the category of permanent staff are Benjamin Mukini, Saleh Sikofu, and Carine Kabundi.

Benjamin was recognized in 2020 for his very objective side and high sense of responsibility. He listens to others, his enthusiasm at work, his integrity, his calmness, and his concentration in his work make him an excellent collaborator for his colleagues.

He is conscientious and knows how to coordinate the work even in the absence of Blaise Pezo, his supervisor. His other qualities are highly appreciated within the team: good role model, excellent collaboration with other departments, good communication, dynamism, helpfulness, always availability, and competence.

1. Saleh is very professional and diligent in his tasks (old and new). He is a person of integrity, solution-oriented, organizational, responsible, conscientious, always punctual, dynamic, discreet, proactive at work, and disciplined.

2. Carine does an outstanding job. She is the one who elaborates on the visuals of Target, which are very attractive and does not hesitate to give advice and suggestions to her colleagues. She is open-minded and welcomes feedback on her work. In addition, she is an exemplary professional. While on maternity leave this year, she generously agreed to coach her replacement.

3. Rodriguez Ajabu, Yvesse Makaba and Vincent Muya were nominated for the outside contributor category. Here are the qualities of each:

6. Vincent Muya: very professional, quickly adapted to his job of follow-up and planning, works with several departments simultaneously, rarely complains about his work, and is conscientious.

The two Best Field Managers of Kinshasa are Charles Benkanga, appreciated for his dynamism, team spirit, and management sense, which made him stand out from the crowd, and Sipho Boyale, who is dynamic, punctual, and orderly. All his missions have been satisfactory.

Henri Katunda is a hard worker. He has a high sense of professionalism and knows how to respect his commitments, while Yannick Bilengi is very diligent in his work and knows how to give his best to make data collection effective. Both were chosen for the Best Supervisors of the Kinshasa category.

Pezo Ailka and Aaron Kimwanga were selected in the Best CAPI Investigators category. The first is described as a very dynamic and responsible boy. He is always available and punctual, respects his commitments with honor, has good discipline, and always follows the logic of work well done. The second is also dynamic on the field, conscientious, and has a perfect relationship with his superiors.

Their colleagues Frines Tshidimu and Thérèse Biona are nominated Best CATI Investigators. Frines' characteristics in 2020 were punctuality and availability. She remained conscientious and very disciplined in all her projects and has always earned her an EXCELLENT rating. For Christian Bwanga, it is won in advance because he is the only one retained in the category of Best Quality Controller. The Management of Target grants him these notes: excellent discipline, rigor, punctuality, and dynamism in the follow-up and the report.

Not easy as in the previous case, Target had to choose between Cherico Yangongo of Mbuji-Mayi, who is professional, dynamic, has a team spirit and a sense of leadership, and his colleague Junior Akilimali of Bukavu, whose qualities are, among others, the rigor and the high sense of responsibility.

For the Best Provincial Supervisors, we find Charles Basongo from Kisangani: very available. He has successfully supervised several studies. He is a team player and is quick in reporting. Kiff Kapwabwa from Matadi has shown great responsibility and taken good initiatives in the field. Kiff allowed his team to do a good job.

The last category is Best Provincial Quality Controllers, where Bienvenu Fataki from Kisangani is found. A very disciplined and rigorous man who provides quality work. He is punctual and very dynamic.

Benjamin Mukini and Rodriguez Adjabu will receive a special encouragement: "Our sincere congratulations, especially to Benjamin and Rodriguez for the excellence in their work. They will officially receive a diploma of merit and a special incentive," says Target's management.

The company wants to point out that all the other employees have not failed. But when it comes to the best, choices must necessarily be made.
