What happens when you ask people for
their ideas and suggestions? Do you get blank stares? Are your suggestion
boxes empty? People have great
ideas, but you must have an effective process to get them excited about
their ideas. That is why most suggestions systems are a flop!
Having an open work
environment where employees can share their suggestions and ideas is a
critical factor leading to organizational success. High performing organizations such as
Sony, Yamaha, Rubbermaid, and Wainwright Manufacturing focus their
operations solely on the ideas and suggestions of their workforce. These
organizations perform better than their competition. Not only can
employers cut costs and improve productivity based on employee
suggestions, but survey after survey shows employees prefer this type of
work environment to others. We provide several programs and information on
how to capture ideas and suggestions from your workforce.
What Makes This Program Unique:
-

Special Notice
Employers’ need for
suggestion systems has increased due to new government regulations
and other developments in the post-Enron business environment. The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates all publicly held companies have
a mechanism in place by April 26, 2003 to enable employees to submit
confidential and anonymous messages to the audit committee of that
company. Our systems provide employees a safe way to
address issues internally. |
A bottom-up
communications campaign that asks employees to focus on cost reduction or
customer satisfaction.
This
campaign is designed to tap the knowledge and experience of every member
of your organization -- those on the front line and in support positions. It asks
each group and department to find how they can better satisfy the needs of
their internal and external customers. The campaign in flexible enough to
extend its focus to quality and other areas that need improvement ideas
from employees.
Variation to the Theme. You can vary
the campaign by asking your employees to suggest ideas to reduce costs by at least a dollar day. The campaign creates a climate that is receptive to change and
improvement, resulting in major improvements that can produce millions of
dollars in annual savings.
