"I have a policy with my team that if they have an innovative and helpful idea they can bring it to me at any time. If their idea or system is something that I think could work, we then create a plan, and sometimes even a prototype, together to present to our head office. This policy has generated some powerful ideas in our office over the past three years including a work-share program and some health and safety initiatives."

This is something that I regularly do since I am always asking myself whether there is a more efficient way of doing something. If I had a good idea about how to improve on something, I would discuss it with my colleagues. Those discussions would normally generate fresh insights. In my previous workplace, my team suggested a collaboration strategy with the logistics team. As a result, the average customer waiting time decreased to almost 50%.
Rachelle's Feedback
It sounds like your team was able to get an excellent result from this change in strategy. Asking yourself, 'is there any way to do this more efficiently' should be music to any employers' ears. Efficiency is essential, and it's great that you keep this factor top of mind.
