EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION PROGRAM

View my video You will need speakers

The Bright Ideas Campaign is different than any other employee suggestion program. The Campaign is a proven way to capture hundreds of ideas to improve productivity, cut costs and drive improvements from the bottom up.  It is not a "program", but a high energy motivational campaign. 

 

The Bright Idea Campaign is Powerful and Fast

The Bright Ideas Campaign is a streamlined and powerful variant to typical suggestion programs. With most suggestion box programs, results are sporadic and slow. Many good ideas get screened out, lay dormant, or are overlooked and ignored by management. On the other hand, this high intensity campaign generates hundreds of ideas in three weeks or less.

The Bright Idea Campaign is designed to focus on specific improvement opportunities. Employees are asked to submit ideas on one or more of these areas:

1. Cost reduction

2. Continuous improvement

3. Problem identification

4. Customer retention and satisfaction

5. New product and service generation

6. Safety improvement

The goal is to get one idea from each person during each week of the Campaign. Supervisors cannot say "no" to any idea. Each one is evaluated and every participant receives instant recognition for the idea they submit. After the initial three-week period, employees continue to provide ideas and suggestions for continuous improvement.

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 communication channels, build trust and identify opportunities for changes for the better

3. The ideas motivate and energize larger ideas with greater 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.

Over 30 years of research and experience in suggestion and employee involvement programs went into creating this system.

 

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