I hope the company can build an initiative mailbox, praising initiatives, even small ones, weekly, monthly to encourage employees to bring the company's labor productivity higher. When productivity is improved, we will have better competitive conditions and bring better income to employees.
Member of the Party Central Committee, Chairman of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Nguyen Anh Tuan spoke when accompanying the working delegation to visit, work, attend the initiative and creativity demonstration program and give gifts to outstanding workers at Hanel PT New Generation Technology Joint Stock Company on June 7.
This is a suggestion on how to promote a very important resource that not every business effectively exploits, which is the intelligence and creativity of employees.
When it comes to innovation, people often think of new technologies, modern production lines or large investments in research and development.
However, in actual production, many initiatives originate from workers who work directly every day.
They are the ones who understand best which stage is wasting time, which operation can be shortened, or which small detail can help save fuel, electricity and production costs.
Many improvements that seem very small can create significant value for businesses when applied on a large scale.
In this sense, the suggestion of the President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor is not a simple suggestion box, but how to create an environment for workers to be listened to and recognized.
This is also not a private matter of Hanel PT but needs to become a common practice in businesses across the country.
Each business can choose different forms, from initiative mailboxes, feedback forums, periodic dialogues between leaders and employees, or digital platforms to receive innovative ideas.
The goal is to ensure that workers have the opportunity to express their thoughts and receive serious and responsible feedback from business owners.
Reality shows that in many places, feedback channels exist but operate in a formalistic way. Workers are reluctant to propose because they believe that their opinions will not be concerned or will not create any changes.
There are also many places where even a small idea is considered, recognized and praised by business leaders, making employees feel that they are a part of the business development process. From there, the spirit of responsibility, attachment and creative motivation in them are also strongly awakened.
For small initiatives to create great values, workers need a mailbox - an environment where they are listened to, respected and recorded opinions.
When millions of workers are given the opportunity to contribute their intelligence, it will be a huge source of innovation for each business and for the entire economy.
