Use new technology to crowdsource your team’s ideas

Take advantage of online tools, such as crowdsourcing platforms, to quickly gather employee feedback and measure engagement. Platforms can help you to better understand the views and feelings of employees in different parts of your business, when compared to the traditional suggestion box, by creating a space where ideas can be commented on and reacted too. Virgin Trains has won praise for its use of Yammer to crowdsource actionable ideas from its staff while other tools, such as TemboSocial, can be easily built into your company’s intranet so employees can share their thoughts and ideas whenever they like.
