Why use a suggestion box?

Suggestion boxes offer a simple yet effective way to collect honest and anonymous thoughts, feedback and ideas from within your team. This insight can be used to:

Identify opportunities for improvement
Could a process be streamlined? Or a specific task simplified? Can you implement something new to help improve the working environment for your team, or the quality of care you offer? A suggestion box can help to uncover opportunities like these.

Recognise your team and boost morale
A suggestion box can help boost morale by making your team feel heard and appreciated. And by implementing their suggestions you can show your team that you’re listening to them and care about what they have to say.

Encourage open communication
A suggestion box encourages open and honest communication between employees and management – essential in any organisation.

How to use this free download

We’ve outlined the four steps to follow to implement and promote a suggestion box in your care home successfully, and created a poster you can use to promote it. 

Simply print out the poster, and add your contact information in the box, in case anyone wants to get in touch with you directly. 

Make sure your suggestion box and poster are visible and accessible – a high-traffic area, such as the staff room, is perfect.
