Have a Great Idea to Improve Carilion? Submit a Finding Better Ways Suggestion.

We know that you take pride in the work that you do, and that you look for ways to serve our communities better. Over the years, you and your coworkers have made many suggestions that have helped us reduce costs, improve quality and enhance operations in your department or area.

Since 2001, we’ve offered a formal employee suggestion program, known as the Savings Suggestions Program, to recognize you for your
cost-reduction and quality-improvement ideas. While many employees have participated in Savings Suggestions, many employees also have submitted great suggestions that could not be quantified. To help encourage you to continue finding better ways to improve Carilion, we’re expanding our employee suggestion program to include recognition for those solutions that may positively affect your department, yet not be directly correlated to reducing costs. In addition, we’re renaming the program Finding Better Ways to be aligned with what we do every day: find better ways to serve our communities. The new program will be effective April 1, 2006.
