the average company saves over 7,000 for each employee suggestion that is enacted? What are your thoughts on this?

intunique I'm not surprised at all. What is surprising is that more companies don't have systems in place to cultivate suggestions from their employees. I'd also like to know what percentage of employee suggestions are actually acted upon. 1 in 5? 1 in 20? 1 in 100?

Vicky86 @Vicky86 (243) • United States 19 Jan 07
