Idea Management
Our services
New ideas can bring that decisive competitive edge. The Bayer Ideas Pool is a platform for collecting smart ideas on how to improve processes and workflows. Our offices and coordinators register and process the ideas submitted by your employees and arrange for payment of cash bonuses to reward them for effective improvements. Many ideas center on subtle details that are not immediately obvious. We can therefore arrange for an experienced assessor to screen ideas for you and evaluate the potential benefits for your company.
Your advantages
- Your employees know the workflows in your company best so their suggestions can contribute to process improvements.
- Our team helps you process ideas quickly to make sure cost savings are achieved as soon as possible.
- Prizes encourage employees to develop and share ideas that optimize working processes. The software used by the Ideas Pool is directly linked to the relevant human resources data to ensure that bonuses are paid as quickly as possible.
Our strengths
Our extensive experience of running idea management plans ranges from processing suggestions and arranging for them to be put into practice to paying employees the bonuses due to them. Because of the large number of employees eligible to participate in the Bayer Ideas Pool, we can also offer attractive prizes (e.g. cars, vacation trips) for idea management competitions. Professional organization ensures that cash bonuses and other prizes are allocated fairly and that companies derive the greatest possible benefit from the Ideas Pool. As well as managing the Ideas Pool, we believe our role includes promoting new developments.
