Suggestion Box

One of the easiest, most efficient and least intrusive ways to get employee input is to set up a suggestion box. (You may want to use an electronic suggestion box if you have the capability to make it confidential) Make sure to:

• promote it to employees both before and during the period it is set up
• Ask for suggestions about Organizational culture, Healthy Lifestyle choices, Occupational Health and Safety.
• emphasize that all suggestions within the bounds of what the workplace can offer  will be considered seriously and confidentially
• make the suggestion box attractive, visible and easily accessible
• follow up on all the suggestions in some way — even if it’s just acknowledging them
