It was felt that a GC subgroup would work if it had authority to implement the suggestions, not just investigate and write a report. Bob Fryberger suggested that we start with the comments gathered from the roundtable discussions and deal with those issues. Staff suggestions will most likely fit with user issues. The main point is that the GC should be a focal point for suggestions and an agent for change. Managers are asked to encourage suggestions from staff.
Managers can investigate and implement quick-hitters.
Others should be brought to the GC and worked on if in line with priority list or if they re put in line. But either way, suggestions are welcomed and will be acted upon either immediately or in the long term, or will at least be responded to if they can not be broached at this time. Managers need to be proactive in appreciating staff day by day. We all need to communicate better what we do and how we do it. It should be all of our jobs to publicize compliments our staff receive.
