Suggestion Program As employees of Spelman, you have the opportunity to contribute to our future success and growth by submitting suggestions for practical work-improvement or cost-savings ideas. All employees are eligible to participate in the suggestion program. However, exempt employees are only eligible to submit suggestions that are beyond the scope of their assigned duties and areas of responsibility. A suggestion is an idea that will benefit Spelman by solving a significant problem, reducing costs, improving operations or procedures, enhancing student services, eliminating waste or spoilage, or making Spelman a better or safer place to work. Statements of problems without accompanying solutions, or recommendations concerning co-workers and management are not appropriate suggestions. All suggestions must be submitted on a suggestion form and should contain a description of the problem or condition to be improved, a detailed explanation of the solution or improvement, and the reasons why it should be implemented. If you have questions or need advice about your idea, contact your supervisor for help. Submit suggestions to the Office of Human Resources and, after review, they will be forwarded to the appropriate VP, The Provost or the President. As soon as possible, you will be notified of the adoption or rejection of your suggestion. Special recognition will be given to employees who submit a suggestion that is implemented.
