Looking To Hear About Key Challenges Faced By HR / Quality Teams In Effective Suggestion Scheme Implementation

Dear Sushil,

If I give reply to whatever you have written in your latest then possibly it may turn into squabble. I do not wish to do that. Notwithstanding your track record of working abroad in MNCs, or running start ups for the last 14 years, you have failed to read between the lines of my past post(s). Quite unfortunate!

I did not pitch for my services. If at all if I were to do it, why should I do it for a start up? I have quoted specific example of a session on idea generation when external facilitator comes on board. When some internal facilitator conducts facilitation, regular employees treat it as "घर की मुर्गी दाल बराबर" (the loose English translation is wife's beauty is no more valued!) and do not open up themselves. Moreover, this reply was addressed to Mr Saswata Banerjee and not to you!

Mr Nathrao: - The poster did not ask for the benefits of employee suggestions but challenges faced in implementation of suggestion scheme and that too in big companies.

Thanks,

Dinesh Divekar

Mr Dinesh,
Emeshed in my benefits itself are the problem areas.

Shri Dinesh,
Further to my above post
My post about benefits brings out problem areas.
""If response time to implement employee suggestions are quick then more suggestions will come up.""
Responses by management and practical implementation becomes delayed then workers or people who give ideas become demotivated.
Will a financial reward be a good idea for ideas or non financial recognition??
Taking decision as to how to record ideators is also a problem area-some say cash,some say recognition.
I hope this clarifies.

Dear Mr. Nathrao - I agree, I should have been quite elaborate in my background. But on a second thought, if you might agree, I was just opening up a discussion specific to the challenges faced by HR in the implementation process. Me or my background was quite irrelevant, I guess for this discussion.
Dear Mr. Dinesh, The beauty of internet is you never get to appreciate the beauty of the people who post things or rather must say appreciate the context that clearly.
I think the discussion got quite diverted to a different direction.
Agreed, you have a strong point of having external / 3rd party consultants to come and train people. It would nice to hear other experts who have a different opinion to this and how they have succeeded.

VIETNAMHR5 - Thank you for the awesome link, quite a good read actually.
Mr Nathrao - Quite appreciated your summary and to the point notes. Thank you.

Hi NASHBRAMHALL, the topic was actually a 36000 feet and intended to trigger a generic discussion on suggestion scheme related issues. I guess my background was irrelevant but my apologies if that did not make it clear.
