Suggestion system  In this page you will learn:
  • ow MRI can help you set a suggestion system for all your employees.
"When you employ a pair of hands you also obtain the head for free. Use it!"

The main problems with suggestions systems are:

It takes too long to respond
Too many restrictions are put on the type of suggestions
A large percent of the suggestions are rejected
Decisions are usually made by corporate staff far removed from the problems
Employees are not recognized for their contribution

Employee suggestion programs can offer any organization a distinct competitive advantage with their many benefits including cost savings, increased revenues, decreased waste, improved quality, safety, customer service, employee satisfaction and improved corporate culture. Employee suggestion systems have been in existence for over one hundred years in one form or another, ranging from the proverbial suggestion box to fully-developed suggestion systems overseen by administrators, evaluators and idea specialists.

We offer a full range of training and consulting services for employee suggestion programs including development, implementation, assessment, certification, re-engineering, team building, in-house training and seminar weeks. We can customize any training to suit an organization's specific needs in areas such as Rules and Guidelines, the Suggestion Form, Eligibility, Award Structure, Promotions, the Evaluation Process, Suggestion System Business Plans, Records Management, Administrator and Suggester Training and more. Our proven tools and strategies will help you build a strong foundation for successful employee suggestion programs.

Our experience with different companies resulted in less than 10% of the employees suggesting a change to more than 60% with their suggestions implemented within a week.

 

We know that next generation suggestion systems  can provide a route to cost reduction and additional income generation, but they also recognize that an active suggestion program offers many other improvements to the way their organization performs by:

  • Fostering an environment of change and continuous improvement

  • Improving customer satisfaction, and driving  the ability to respond to the marketplace

  • Increasing employee participation and innovation

  • Providing an unfiltered channel providing feed-back on changes to policy and process.

  • Intelligence gathering

  • Promoting employee alertness

  • Identifying training needs

  • Reducing waste and unnecessary tasks

We all know that employee suggestion programs are not a new idea, and we also remember the failed "box on the wall" of yesteryear - take it down now! We can tap into the benefits latent in the organization by avoiding these pitfalls:

  • Lack of Top Management support

  • Poor Employee motivation, because ideas get lost under Administrator overload and don't get implemented

  • Poor communication about progress to the Suggestor

  • Failure to manage the evaluation of ideas

  • Failure to recognize the contribution for ideas
