Bill Sims consultants help you develop a simple, easy to administer Bright Idea Program to get employees to share their ideas in safety improvement/risk reduction, scrap reduction, quality improvement and more. The program is designed to avoid the pitfalls plaguing most suggestion systems, and to challenge employees to implement their own ideas instead of expecting management to do it.
Bright Ideas Case Study
Everything was kept simple. Employees submitted a narrative explaining an idea with an estimated cost, benefit and savings that was then signed off by their manager. All recipients became eligible for a grand prize drawing that was done every quarter for a cruise. The more scratch off tickets one received, the more chances they got to win a cruise.
For an cost of $25,000 per year (less than half of what was budgeted!), the program earned a documented $2.2 million in savings and "cost avoidance" the first year and a half, delighting management and writtenup as an innovative best practice by the Department of Energy.
The BillSims company carried all inventory, tracked all administration for the organization, and even allowed employee points to be redeemable"forever." One enthusiastic couple took a camping trip using 100% of the camping equipment earned from the program!
Kathy decided to set some new goals and create an incentive program to get the desired results she was after. She benchmarked with several organizations including Florida Power & Light, who had previously won the prestigious Baldrige Award for quality. FPL had good success with a program they did in conjunction with the Bill Sims Company and ultimately she contacted them as well for their perspective and help in implementing the program.
