1. EMPLOYEESUGGESTION

2. Rig Veda says …………
“ Aa No Bhadra Kratavo Yantu Vishwatah”
Means,
“Let us receive good thoughts and ideas
from all directions”

3. GOOD IDEAS ARE NOT BASED UPON
• EDUCATION :
eg: Kabir Das, Tulsi Das, Meera Or Arya Bhat
did not attend schools.
• AGE:
eg: sant Gyaneshwar died at age of 23, Adi
Shankaracharya and Swami Vivekanada died at the
age of 32.
• PHYSICAL CONDITION:
eg: Helen Keller was deaf, dumb and blind.
So let us not shy away from inviting ideas from
young, illiterate/semi-literate and physically weak

4. Employee’s ideas are very important as:
• They have real knowledge , because they work at grass root level
• They encounter problems and they have probable solutions
• They come from different backgrounds hence, management gets
another perspective.

widely adopted mechanism for improvement since long, all
