Let’s take a closer look at how to get your workforce involved in coming up with profitable ideas and then putting those concepts into action.

As a bonus, a well-constructed process can improve business skills and enhance morale as employees learn about profit-enhancement strategies, come up with their own ideas and, in some cases, see those concepts turned into reality.
