Staff Suggestion Scheme process
The Suggestion Scheme process:
- Suggestions are submitted using the online form.
Each suggestion is assessed by a Reviewer Group.
- The Reviewer Group will consult with relevant divisional directors and with the SSUG where appropriate
The Reviewer Group decides whether the suggestion:
- Should be progressed
- Is already being addressed within an existing project
- Is not a priority to progress at this point
Considerations in making the decision include:-
- Will it have a meaningful positive impact?
- What degree of change to processes and ways of working will be required to implement it?
- What level of financial investment would be required?
- Could it be implemented by a single team or division?
If it is decided that a suggestion should be progressed then it will either be:
- Assigned a business owner and be progressed as a business as usual improvement. The rationale and progress will be updated on the website.
- Submitted for approval to proceed within the One Professional Service project
- If approved then a project owner will be assigned and progress will be updated on the website
If it is decided that a suggestion falls within an existing project then the suggestion will be reported into that project team and progress will be updated on the website.
If it is decided that it is not a priority to progress a suggestion at this point then the rationale for this will be posted on the website. This group of suggestions will be reviewed on a six monthly basis to reassess their value to the organisation.
