Awards for Suggestions

Awards for Suggestions.

Railway employees may help their managements very materially in the march towards prosperity by bringing to the notice of their superior officers any ideas they may have for the page 12 page 13 betterment of working methods. At Home the suggestions schemes run by the different lines are a big success, and every year immense sums of money are saved as a direct result of suggestions for better working put forward by employees of all grades.

On the Southern Railway added interest has just been given the suggestions scheme by the offer of special awards for the best ideas submitted by members of the staff. For the best suggestion made throughout the year the railway offers an award to the value of £25, in the form of a free holiday for two in any European country, including passage to and from England. Leave without loss of pay is to be granted the lucky winner. The second prize takes the form of a £10 holiday for two in any part of Britain. To the six runners-up there is to be presented a crisp £5 note.
