Innovations

Can someone please help me with an innovation which I can introduce in my company. It can be a new form or a template, an idea to reduce operational costs, a new policy...

Sorry, Rosy... your question is too broad, I think. What's behind your question?

Thanks Keith. This is not a assignment, put part for my KRAs for this financial year. I'm struggling to get one since we already give lots of benefits to our employees. Almost everything that you have listed. Can you please clarify what you mean by - Managers back to the Floor...

Not a very SMART objective

A quick Google will throw up what is meant

Could you ask your employees what they would like to see? At least then you'll have some data and will be introducing something that is more likely to drive engagement. Or, speak to your leaders to find out what would help them do their jobs better.

The practice we've introduced in the last year that staff are most pleased about I think, is offering croissants at 10am on Friday mornings. Sounds trite I know, but people look forward to it all week (or maybe that's just me ...). Wouldn't do anything to contain costs (quite the reverse) but it's a very practical way to say thank you.

Thanks Nina. We do offer something similar - 4 different types of cereals, fresh fruits, 2 different types of pasties, bread, jam and butter

Some topical things at the moment that have worked well for us (as a result of reviewing absence data) have been:
- trained mental health first aiders on site
- trained mediator on site
- linking with an occupational health organisation to offer a back pain and lower limb programme
