Have a company suggestion box? Consider this suggestion: ditch it for a system that works.

Sharing a proposition via a suggestion bin was a simple process for both the business and the employee. All that needs to happen is an employee writes down their advice and places it in the container. A company can then read the proposals from their suggestion boxes and apply them if they are affordable or necessary. That used to be an effective way for businesses to listen to any suggestion given to them by their staff members on the ground floor. However, as comfortable and productive as this process was, it would eventually become less useful over time as companies and careers evolve. There are multiple reasons why the suggestion box is more hindering than helpful.
