Yet many ignore the untapped resource of their employees who know their jobs better than any expert.   Fact #1: Just 41% of employees think their senior management supports new ideas and new ways of doing things. Fact #2: Just 37% of employees think senior management tries to be visible and accessible to employees.  Fact #3: A whopping 60% of employees think their organization's employee suggestion program does not exist or is ineffective.   During the past 30 years, I have worked with hundreds of organizations in designing employee suggestion and engagement programs. As a Board Member of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, I had the opportunity to examine and evaluate how leading organizations use their Employee Suggestion Systems (ESS) to produce results. I trained managers at Yamaha and learned how they drive continuous improvement with their Kaizen process. My experiences have taught me what works and what does not. We will focus on two programs. The first one is called the Bright Idea Campaign and the other is a more formalized Idea Management system called MyeNovation which includes an online tracking system. Watch Youtube video.  https://youtu.be/yCs1Y7ohzS0 Discover how to create employee suggestion systems such as Idea Campaigns, Idea Olympics, Idea-A-Day, Kaizen, STAT VA and Vampire Extermination Expeditions, just to name a few. The results of these programs can increase revenues, cut costs, improve customer satisfaction and have a major impact on job satisfaction and motivation.

However, once those chores, pets, and other attention-sucking things start stealing your focus, you could easily become overwhelmed Here are some quick and easy tips to help you focus and make sure you keep working at home as normally as possible – for as long as it might be necessary. More information How To Navigate Your Business Through The Coronavirus Outbreak Times right now are uncertain with our businesses. The COVID-19 virus has left everyone reaching every option to keep their business running. While we understand social distancing and “Safer at Home” are the right choices to make for the population, it is still hard. Everything is shutting down and hitting our economy hard. There are a few things you can do to navigate your business through the coronavirus outbreak. Stay Informed It is very important to keep your staff as informed as possible. Everything is changing at a very fast pace. Trying to stay informed and up to date can be tricky sometimes. Your business may be one that is able to stay open right now but by the end of the day, they've decided you need to close. Keep Your Staff Up-To-Date You don’t want to just assume that your employees have all the information they need. Just because they can watch the news or go online to read it. It doesn't mean that they know what the future holds for their job. You as the owner or manager of the company needs to make sure you are taking the time to sit down and communicate with your staff. Make out a schedule of specific times that you and your staff will sit down to discuss important topics. It will allow you to inform and update them on where things are with the business. Information is changing from minute to minute on guidelines to follow. Make a Plan When everything with the media is fast-paced and changing minute by minute. Be proactive and make a plan for your business for COVID-19. You and your employees will greatly appreciate it. By doing this, you are making it possible for your employees to plan ahead. Work Remotely If you're able to allow your employees to work from home, help them make a schedule. Be clear on what you expect them to accomplish at home. Write out what time they need to start work, and what they need to get done during the day. Also, help them navigate how they need to communicate with clients. Communicate With Your Team Make sure everyone understands all the protocols for your business. Make it easily accessible during these trying times when people are panicked. Communicate with them and make sure they understand what role they play. All in all, everyone is scared and uncertain. Try to help each other out and stay in communication about the business. ~ Written for us by our associate Gary Sorrell, Sorrell Associates, LLC. Copyright protected. All rights reserved.
