To celebrate our Sistema.bio values and culture, we launched a nomination process in which we got the input of all employees from all our hubs. The goal is to recognize employees who embody our values and express attitudes that represent who we are and who we want to be. After that, each country voted for the winners. Take a look at our 2021 winners here:
We are environmental activists
LATAM team: Jordi Manzo
“Jordi is in charge of a society that supports and encourages the use of bicycles to reduce car use. I believe he also has another project, like a collective of organic produce. Being an environmental activist is a very strong part of his personality.”
Kenya team: Joseph Wambugu
“He’s a smart technician who goes beyond the expected duties to ensure that our farmers get the full benefits of our system. His face lights up each time he explains to the farmer how their lives will change for the better. He readily gets involved in farmer demo events to show the massive benefits of Sistema.bio.”
India team: Prabhu Andanur
‘’Prabhu has great environmental skills. He demonstrates the Sistema.bio environmental activist value.”
We are honest & direct because we care
LATAM team: Cécile Pompeï
“Cécile is always direct with me; when I fail or something goes wrong, she is always there to acknowledge my work or give me advice on how to improve. She is communicative and always shows confidence when deciding or saying something.”
Kenya team: Juma Kilumbu
“While dealing with a client whose system wasn’t working he used a direct approach in explaining the reasons why it had not inflated. He used a direct and honest approach to get the farmer to understand the correct feeding process for the biodigester to work. The farmer was eventually calm and happy when conducting the M1.”
India team: Shraddha Bhanage
“Shraddha is honest in her work and she continuously attends to the team’s needs.”
We work hard because farmers work hard
LATAM team: Francisco Javier Sánchez
“Francisco Javier demonstrates his commitment to farmers month after month, and he always goes beyond TechOps work -for example, by supporting the commercial area and alliances with other institutions.”
Kenya team: Raymond Ngetich
“I remember despite being on a rainy day Raymond made sure that he reached out to a client who had an issue with her digester and one who needed to register. The client was pleased with our dedication and the respect we have for the work.”
India team: Sachin Poojary
“Sachin is hardworking and inspiring, he always looks for ways to keep the technical team together, he is a good team worker and attentive in his work.”
We expect high performance of each other because we are solving humanity’s biggest problems
LATAM team: Enrique Reyes
“Enrique is always in a good mood and solves problems quickly, even under high pressure. He also looks for ways to keep the technical team together and takes into account the opinions of others.”
Kenya team: David Karanja
“David Karanja is a high performer, he does his work professionally and makes sure 100% of the farmers he installs understand the biodigester functionality and expectations, that is according to the size of the reactor. During my monitorings, I got positive feedback from a client he installed for on how skillful he was and his high level of professionalism.“
India team: Thejesh KR
“Thejesh is always a high performer and he is very actively involved in solving farmers’ problems.“
We are a team that trusts, respects and supports each other
LATAM team: Brianda Suárez
“Brianda is a friendly person who is always willing to help everyone in the team, always with a smile and a kind attitude.”
Kenya team: Bilha Gakenyi
“Bilha is always there to support a lot of people behind the scenes, both personally and professionally. I don’t think this aspect of her work is recognized enough because she doesn’t bring it up or fuss about it. She has been there for me when things were tough for me personally due to the pandemic and I needed someone to talk to.“
India team: Amol Palave
“Amol is always helpful and respectful to the team, he supports us all and always carries a positive attitude which is visible in his team too.”
We grow by learning and sharing
LATAM team: Irene Hernández
“When I went to the field the farmers told me directly that Irene had supported them when they needed it most and said they were extremely grateful for the way she had taken care of them. Irene always answers with a smile, her kindness makes working with her a delight.”
Kenya team: John Nyateng
“John doesn’t hold back in sharing the skills he has. Having worked with him, he ensured that I understood every small detail and was always ready to answer my questions. John goes the extra mile to recap the day’s lesson so as to ensure his colleagues get everything right. A man full of humor, John displays the Ubuntu philosophy “I am because you are.“
India team: Swati Dhaigude
“Swati is always interested in sharing information which is required by us. She works in customer support and ensures that all the support is provided to our customers and employees wherever necessary.”
