BAD Employee Idea Campaign “Buck-a-Day”

BAD Idea Suggestion Program

The BAD Campaign is a bottom-up 30-day communications campaign that asks employees to focus on cost reduction.

The Objective: Find a way to reduce costs by at least a dollar a day. The BAD campaign creates a climate that is receptive to change and improvement, resulting in major improvements that can produce millions of dollars in annual savings!

SET A TARGET

How about a buck a day? It’s something everyone can understand and relate to. It’s specific, it’s challenging; and it’s a goal everyone can reach. Put the program in 30-day time frame, so it moves quickly and achieves its objective before it becomes part of the woodwork.

CHALLENGING

By setting a goal for each employee that is challenging yet attainable – at least a dollar a day in job-related savings – BAD Month stimulates a high level of employee participation. It’s light, low-key and fun and gets everyone working toward a common objective.

LONG TERM IMPACT

Although the idea-collection phase only lasts for thirty days (BAD Month), the cost savings generated by the program have a permanent impact. Organizations have found it highly effective to repeat the program each year.

INVOLVES EVERYONE

Buck-A-Day is a bottom-up communications program that gets everyone to focus on cost elimination. Complementing the traditional top-down approach to cutting costs, BAD asks every employee to reduce costs in his or her job area.

NO BIG GIVEAWAYS

Buck-A-Day is a professionally designed campaign that is personalized for each client organization. It obtains an extremely high level of voluntary employee participation without the use of monetary awards.

GUARANTEED SUCCESS

Buck-A-Day has been run successfully in more organizations, ranging from manufacturing plants and hospitals to banks, insurance companies and service industries. It has achieved such a high level of success that we now offer it with a money-back guarantee.

    Kitty Burch

    Program Coordinator Maplegrove Community Education and Children's Program


    "I have seen a lot of suggestion programs come and go over the years. However, this one was different. Seeing senior management actually participating in the Campaign showed me they were truly serious about my ideas. The Campaign changed my entire outlook about this organization. I now know management cares about me and my ideas. I am much prouder of my organization."

    Mary Rodriquez

    "I want to thank you for a great product! We had a good response rate from our staff. During the three-week Campaign we captured: -140 ideas from 59 people during the first week -140 ideas from 49 people during the second week and -189 ideas from 49 people during the third week. That is a total of 469 ideas from 168 people. I am very pleased and satisfied with your Bright Ideas Campaign."
