GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.--CU*Answers said its employee-driven “Be an Innovator” program has reached its second anniversary with more than 50% of the company’s employees having attended the 13 meetings held. More than 35 ideas have discussed, of which 13 were submitted for executive review, and five have been implemented from start to finish. CU*Answers celebrated “Innovator Day” in September with staff showing support by wearing orange t-shirts sporting the “Be an Innovator” logo.
“What I am most excited about is the professional development opportunities that “Be an Innovator” has created for employees,” said Alycia Meyers, the program coordinator. “It is a unique program that allows employees to implement their own idea from start to finish. And there are other opportunities to be involved such as mentoring or joining a committee to implement an idea.”
Meyers said four ideas are set to be presented at the next meeting in January.
