The Power of a Suggestion Box

Your team has great ideas—but most of them never get shared.
Why?
❌ They can’t find the right time to bring it up.
❌ They mention it to a colleague, who shuts it down.
❌ They assume you won’t like it, so they say nothing.
🚀 Bring back the old-school suggestion box.
✔ Put a simple box in the staff room.
✔ Provide paper slips and a pen—right next to it.
✔ Put up a small poster encouraging ideas.
Make it clear: This isn’t just about business improvements—it’s also about what will make the team’s workday better.
People are more likely to write down an idea than speak up in a meeting. And you’ll be surprised at what comes through—efficiency hacks, small process fixes, and quality-of-life improvements that could make a real difference.
💡 The best businesses listen. The best teams know their input matters. Give them an easy way to share ideas—and see what happens.
