New eBook: How to Start An Employee Suggestion Program

Those even considering adding an employee suggestion program to their organizations are already ahead of the game. The changing nature of work means many things for businesses, including the fact that employee engagement has never been more important than now.

First, job hopping is less taboo than it used to be. It is almost expected these days, especially among millennials, as 91% of millennials plan to stay at a job for less than three years.

Recession-era layoffs and the practical disappearance of pension plans has reduced the notion of security in corporate America. In turn, workers are looking for purpose in their jobs. Second, notoriously ambitious millennials are eager to progress in their careers. If they don’t find learning and promotion opportunities at their current company, they are likely to look for those things elsewhere.

These trends prove the need for employee engagement and retention. It’s a multi-faceted initiative, and process improvement and innovation has a lot to do with it. People want to work on cutting-edge and meaningful ideas, and they need a well-run organization to do that in.

Employee suggestion programs are at the forefront of all of this.

With employee suggestion programs, managers can listen to employee suggestions and identify ideas for process improvements or new products. This way, employees can directly affect the bottom line, which helps for both engagement and retention rates. Managers reading this eBook may have some skepticism about the effectiveness of employee suggestion programs, or, they may feel inspired to launch one but confused on just where to start.

In this eBook, we’ll address all of these things. We’ll look at some problems with current approaches to suggestion programs, explain the benefits of a digital solution, and give tips on how to successfully launch an employee suggestion program (sometimes referred to as an idea program).
