Findings

A proven mechanism for achieving these goals is an employee suggestion scheme (ESS). This long-established tool is widely deployed to encourage idea generation among workers. Businesses have been using ESSs for more than a century now and their popularity continues to grow in several regions across the world. Nevertheless, many organizations still find it highly difficult to sustain them. The payoff for implementing suggestion schemes can be considerable.
