Because of tangible.benefits direct
ly produced by beneficial suggestions
jat times may not seem large as compared
•to the time and thought involdedin pro
; cessing them, some supervisors mayfeel
that that are a "waste of time". Such
an attitude fails to t&ke into account
I the importance of beneficial suggest
ions as a medium for making employees
feel that they are a part of the Naval
Establishment and not merely working
for it. Only this sense of belonging
Can produce the sort of employee dedi
cation which pays off in maximum effi
ciency and productivity.
As.a result of this "failure to
understand", we sometimes find simple
•suggestions spending months "out" for
; local investigation, whereas sustained
"employee interest requires prompt pro
! cessing. But promptness alone is of
no value if replies are perfunctory
and made without a real effort to see
the true ‘ value of ideas which would
change existing, familiar procedures.
There is also the occasional case
of the supervisor who fears that -the
approval of too many employee suggest
ions will be interpreted on higher
levels, as an indication that the em
ployees under him "know his job better
than he does". Could this be you?
The Navy Department strongly endor
ses the beneficial suggestion program.
It therefore behooves all members of
the supervisory team to . support it
wholeheartedly and thereby encourage
full employee participation.
