Workface Solutions To Boardroom Blues
The country’s foremost association for the promotion of employee involvement programmes. We are a not for profit organisation (a registered Charity) that was founded in 1987, aimed at assisting organisations - in both the Public and Private sector - to develop robust ideas programmes and to provide a forum for membership networking.
It is our firm belief that in these challenging times, quality ideas can significantly help business become leaner, as well as helping the front line staff make a real difference to the overall objectives of the organisation. Our 2009 Annual Survey highlighted the following benefits amongst our membership:
 |
Cost savings of over £100m with the average implemented idea worth £1,400.00. |
|
Return on Investment of at least 5:1. |
|
Employee involvement increased with average participation rates of 28% |
We do not receive any formal funding from government or business and are not considered to be consultants. We are a membership organisation with around 100 current members’ worldwide (organisations such as Diageo, HSBC, Ministry of Defence,) and have worked with many times that number over the years to establish successful ideas programmes.
The executive board of ideasUK is made up of experienced ideas management practitioners, each with their own ‘day job’ (I myself work for Boots). Through ideasUK, we can support other organisations to design, develop and manage staff involvement programmes.
This year our Annual Conference will be held at the Mercure Holland House Hotel in the beautiful city of Cardiff. It offers you the ideal opportunity to meet other innovation professionals, learn how employee driven innovation can transform your business and start the journey of continuous improvement.
We have designed our conference programme this year to appeal to you whether you are an experienced ideas scheme manager, just starting down the road of employee driven innovation or just want to find out more about what is involved in creating a staff involvement programme. The conference culminates in an awards ceremony, where the IdeasUK Idea of the Year for 2010 will be revealed – last year the winner was from BT and the idea saved over £24 million.
