What are the elements of an employee suggestion system?

A formal suggestion system should include the following elements:

  1. a formal device for the receipt of ideas, usually a suggestion box and bulletin board to keep employees reminded of the plan and make it easy for them to submit ideas;

  2. an administrator or committee to receive and screen ideas and otherwise see that the system functions smoothly;

  3. an established committee to consider forwarded suggestions and approve awards;

  4. recognition and awards for ideas that are accepted and a method to provide suitable explanations for those suggestions not accepted;

  5. a followup system to see that accepted suggestions are put to use and determine their ultimate effectiveness.
