Suggestion Scheme: rewards for unsuccessful suggestions

In 1995 British Gas planned to offer scratch cards with cash prizes of £1, £2, or £5 to employees whose suggestion scheme ideas are rejected in a bid to encourage more people to put forward ideas. Employees whose ideas are accepted receive higher rewards. Scratch cards were initially to be offered to the 25,000 people

working in TransCo, the transmission unit of British Gas. Employees in the unit were to present their suggestions to their immediate line managers who had three days to decide whether the suggestion was practical. Any serious suggestions rejected would give the originator the chance of a cash bonus through the scratch cards. In 1993, British Gas rewarded £75,000 to employees whose suggestions were successfully implemented. The financial benefit was £1.8 million. In 1994, one employee suggestion alone saved British Gas £4.4 million.
