EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION PROGRAM

employee suggestion program, employee suggestions

An Employee Engagement Program that Captures Hundreds of Employee Suggestions from Your Workforce

 

"Bright Ideas Campaign"


Getting employees' ideas is no longer an option. If your organization is going to be competitive, it is mandatory you involve the ideas and suggestions of everyone in your organization. Getting employees involved not only yields valuable suggestions, but also the increased morale and retention of workers who feel they are valued and being listened to. This results in a more productive and satisfying work environment.

 

"One has to assume, first, that the individual human being at work knows better than anyone else what makes him or her more productive . . .even in routine work the only true expert is the person who does the job."  --

 

Peter Drucker

 

Every organization needs to make improvements, but finding effective ways to do this can be difficult, time consuming, and expensive. Yet, many ignore the untapped resource of their employees who know their jobs better than any expert.
 

Use This Program to:

  • Initiate a highly effective, high energy, and motivating suggestion program

  • Give your current suggestion program a shot-in-the-arm

  • Target specific aspects of your business such as process improvement, safety, employee retention, cost reduction, or customer satisfaction

  • Improve communication

  • Get 100% participation from the bottom of the organization to the top

  • Kick off a new program or product

Easy to Initiate, Fast, and Powerfully Effective

The Bright Ideas Campaign is a proven way to capture hundreds of ideas to improve productivity while also involving and engaging your staff and employees. It is not really a program, but a high energy motivational campaign.  Here is a quote from a client,

 

"I have seen a lot of suggestion programs come and go over the years, and frankly I was a little skeptical in the beginning. However, this one was different. Seeing senior management actually participating in the campaign showed me they were truly serious about my ideas."

 

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. Because of our success, Graduate students from Japan came to the U.S. to interview us on ways to improve employee engagement in Japan. As a result, I have taken what I have learned over the past 25 years and created the most effective way to boost innovation and capture thousands of ideas and suggestions from your workforce.

Most Employee Suggestion Programs Don't Work!

 

The Bright Ideas Campaign is different than any other suggestion 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 box programs, results are sporadic and slow in coming. Many good ideas are screened out, lay dormant, or overlooked and ignored by supervisors. Not with this campaign!

On the other hand, the Bright Ideas Campaign takes a different twist. The goal is to get at least one idea from each person during the campaign. First line supervisors cannot say "no" to any of the ideas. Each idea is evaluated and each participant receives instantaneous recognition for each idea submitted. After the initial three-week period, employees continue to provide ideas and suggestions for long-term organizational improvement.

 

The Bright Ideas Campaign can be used as a stand a lone program or compliment an existing suggestion program.

 

The Idea Campaign Will Improve Trust, Communication, and Confidence


A Towers Perrin survey shows employees don't have strong confidence in senior management's ability to inspire and lead. For instance:

  • Just 41% think their senior management supports new ideas and new ways of doing things.

  • Just 37% think senior management tries to be visible and accessible to employees.

  • Only 36% think senior management effectively communicates the reasons for important business decisions.

  • And a mere third believe senior management communicates openly and honestly to employees.

"These findings are particularly worrisome because leadership in the workplace is one of the key drivers of employee engagement. Employees are looking for guidance, direction, vision and clarity -- from both top management and their direct supervisors -- and they don't believe either are delivering to the extent they would like,"  according to a Towers Perrin executive. 

 

Boost Employee Motivation and Enjoy 100% Employee Involvement!
 

Do you remember the last time someone thanked you for your ideas?  How did it make you feel? Just imagine if you could multiply that powerful feeling to all of your workforce?   

 

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 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

 

Innovate Your Organization

 

There are many reasons to run a Bright Ideas Campaign.  Whether you are trying to cut costs or improve job satisfaction, this campaign will bring in hundreds of new ideas and innovation.

 

Your workforce has good ideas--they want to be engaged and involved. This campaign is one of the most effective ways to capture their ideas and suggestions.

 

Idea Campaigns have many uses. Companies use this campaign to kick off a new program or a new way of doing business.

Expect 100% Employee Participation!

The Bright Ideas Campaign emphasizes one principle -- focus on your job and look for as many improvements as possible.

By doing this, you accomplish three things:

1. You allow everyone to get involved and thereby create a receptive atmosphere for change, innovation, and continuous improvement.


2. You open up communication channels and identify opportunities for changes for the better


3. The small ideas motivate and energize larger ideas with more significant impact.

Build Teamwork and Employee Engagement

It is this receptive atmosphere that allows ideas to become improvement realities. The same people who last month may have ignored requests for co-operation are now enthusiastic and team oriented. Things get done faster than ever before. Communication on all levels improves and bottlenecks are unplugged.

The goal is to get people to look at their jobs, work together, and communicate in a collaborative manner. Employees are asked to suggest cost saving ideas and ideas to improve quality and customer satisfaction. It is important to get people to consider even the smallest ideas that can improve the overall organization.

Included in the Bright Ideas Campaign are...

  • Roles and responsibilities of key individuals

  • Barriers you have to overcome to achieve a successful campaign

  • How to get support from management

10 Reasons to ORDER the Bright Ideas Campaign

 

1) Become an Engagement Hero!

The results generated from this campaign are so powerfully successful you will gain the admiration and respect from those in your business.

 

2) Revitalize Your Current Suggestion Program.

The campaign can be used to compliment your current suggestion program or used as a stand-a-lone program.

 

3) Build Teamwork and Enhance Communication.

Many organizations say this is more like a motivation program than anything else. It helps to tear down barriers between departments, stimulates creativity, and improves communication. One person told me, "I now know my company cares. They asked me for my ideas!"

4) Tear Down Walls and Barriers.

Do you ever get frustrated because departments/sections don't work with each other? This program is designed to work cross-functionally. It helps you identify barriers and conflicts that inhibit productivity and communication. It does it in a non-threatening, non "finger pointing" way.

 

5) Saves Money.

Organizations with active employee suggestion programs report the average savings from employee ideas is more than $1,000 per year, per employee. An effectively run campaign can generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost savings ideas from your employees.


6) Easy to Implement.

Our complete instructions and guidelines provide a foolproof system for you to launch a successful suggestion and employee involvement program.  If you need us, we can also help you over the phone.
 

7) Enjoy 100% Employee Participation.

No other program available will get people as excited and engaged as this one. If you follow the directions and guidelines we can almost guarantee you will get ideas from every employee in your organization.
 

8) Boost Employee Morale.

When you encourage employees to share their ideas...and when the employees participate in implementing their ideas...their morale goes up. This improves productivity and lowers costly employee turnover.
 

9) Self Contained Program.

Everything you need to start a high powered suggestion and employee campaign is provided. The only things you may add are the prizes and awards to give out to your employees.

 

10) Sarbanes-Oxley Act Compliant.

 

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.
