A day with Divine Kawaya at Target

Target is one of those companies where young people and women have the opportunity to excel and advance in their careers. Divine Kawaya is a good example of this. A dynamic young woman, Divine is in charge of administration and finance at the firm. Today at Target, a day with Divine Kawaya.

Spending a day with Divine at her workplace is, first of all, accepting to move too much. At 8:00 am, when she arrives at the office, Divine signs the attendance list sits on her desk to read her emails and glances at the many post-it notes on her desk's wall; she shares an open space with Ghya - Target's Planning and Reporting Manager, and Carine, the in-house graphic designer. Each of them undergoes the pressure of their work in their way. They pour themselves into humor to cushion the pressure of work. So there is much laughter in this office.

While she reads these emails, Divine takes the opportunity to have breakfast. Immediately after reading her emails, she checks the month's attendance. Payroll comes soon, and her administrative hat gives her the right to scrutinize who has been absent, how often, and why. She is assisted in this task by Merveille Bolazi, logistics assistant.

Together, they scrutinize each name meticulously. Each case is checked several times to avoid any inconvenience. The task takes a long time, and as soon as it is finished, Divine does not take time to rest. Computer in hand, she goes down to the 7th level for an exchange with Hortense Mbumba. This time, it is wearing her financial hat that Divine meets with the head of the project department. Together, they analyze the budget proposed by the department for an upcoming study. Long minutes pass during the exchange between the two ladies. At the end of the exchange, Divine returns to her office on the 8th floor and readapts the budget according to the amendments made during her exchange with Ms. Mbumba.

She finishes rearranging the budget and focuses on verifying with Ghya the details of an exchange between Target and an external provider. It is once again a more or less long exchange, interspersed occasionally by Merveille, who brings in the additional information they need to support their argument.

Once again, Divine puts on her financial hat to discuss the budget with Blaise Pezo from the IT department. Blaise's office is on the 8th floor, a few steps from Divine's. She goes there with her computer in hand and takes the time necessary to harmonize her views with Blaise before going to propose everything to General Manager, who has the last word.

When she returns to her office, it's to fill out the week's evaluation form and plan for the next week. Thus ends Divine Kawaya's day.
