EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION PROGRAM

|
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. The campaign drives involvement and commitment from the
lowest parts of the business to the top. The ideas your front-line
workers submit will not only be worth millions of dollars in cost
savings, but also generate a positive change in attitude toward your

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.

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.
