Today I discuss the role staff members play in making Missouri State better.
My Ideas Program saves University thousands
We have so many talented staff members here at Missouri State. Staff often have a different view of the University’s routine processes than administrators because they work day in and day out in the operational units. Because of their different perspectives, staff are sometimes better positioned to develop process improvements and solutions.
Recognizing this, a few years ago we developed the My Ideas Program. This program allows staff to submit ideas for improvements to our way of doing business at the University. A committee evaluates the ideas and selects ideas for quarterly and annual prizes. The annual grand prize is awarded at our Staff Recognition Banquet and includes $1,000 in supplemental pay.
You might recall that we awarded a grand prize at this year’s Staff Recognition Banquet. The award-winning idea was for the pharmacy at Taylor Health and Wellness to do a quarterly inventory instead of a yearly inventory to increase the amount of refunds received on underutilized items. A truly brilliant idea by one of our talented staff members that we have successfully implemented.
I would encourage all of our staff to look for ways we can improve our processes and operations at Missouri State. If you have an idea, please submit it for consideration as part of the My Ideas Program.
Thanks for all you do for Missouri State!
