How to START AND MANAGE An EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION PROGRAM
"Bright Idea
Campaign"
A Step-By-Step Plan to Get Hundreds of Improvement
Ideas
in Three Weeks or Less!
Thursday,
May 10
3:00-4:00 p.m. EST (Atlanta time)
60 minutes
If your organization is going to
be competitive, it is mandatory you involve the minds, hands, and ideas of
everyone in your organization. Getting employees involved not only yields
valuable ideas and suggestions, but also the increased morale of workers
who feel like they are being listened to results in a more productive and
satisfying work environment.
Every organization can make substantial improvements, but finding ways to
do this can be time consuming and expensive. Yet many ignore the untapped
resource of their employees who know their jobs better than any expert.
This involvement
inspires a feeling of community, stimulates motivation, and improves communication among both
workers and management, which in itself creates a more cohesive and
productive work environment.
Easy, Fast, and Tremendously Effective
As a management consultant, I have worked with hundreds of organizations
in designing employee suggestion and engagement programs. Years ago, I
was the Director of Innovation for the U.S. Army Medical Department.
I was responsible for managing the ideas of 72,000 people. Graduate students from Japan came to the U.S. to interview me for ideas to
improve their suggestion programs back in Japan. I have taken what I have learned
over the past 25 years and created the most effective way to boost
innovation and get ideas and suggestions
from your workforce.
This is NOT Your Typical BORING Suggestion Program!
This system is a fast, focused, and fun way to capture hundreds of ideas
to improve productivity while also involving employees. It is not really a
program, but a high energy campaign.
The Bright Ideas Campaign is different than any other program available.
It is an innovative way of sparking the creativity of the workforce, and
providing a proven system of capturing hundreds of ideas in a short period
of time. With most suggestion programs, results are sporadic and slow in
coming. Many good ideas are screened out, lay dormant, or overlooked and
ignored by supervisors.
On the other hand, the Bright Ideas Campaign takes a different twist. The
goal is to get at least one idea per week from everyone in the
organization during a three-week time period. All ideas are evaluated and
each participant receives instantaneous recognition for their
contributions. After the initial three-week period, employees continue to
provide ideas and suggestions for long-term organizational improvement.
Boost Employee Motivation and Enjoy Increased Employee Involvement!
This campaign has a proven track record in hundreds of companies. If you
follow the guide carefully, you can insure a tremendous result, both in
the quality and quantity of ideas and the subsequent motivation of your
workforce. The reverse is true as well. If you haphazardly run this
program, it will backfire, generating negative consequences.
The Campaign is designed to promote an all out search for improvement
opportunities. This search will focus on five areas:
1. Cost Reduction
2. Continuous Improvement
3. Problem Identification
4. Customer Retention and Satisfaction
5. New Ideas that Generate Revenue
