How to cultivate cost-savings attitude among employees

As I have mentioned in my post on office cost-saving ideas, the most important part when you are thinking to save cost on your company expenses is to educate your staff on the importance of cost-saving and its benefits to the company, the individual and to the global as a whole.

The next question would be “How to educate my staff on the importance of cost-saving?”

One solution would be to create a cost-saving awareness program among employees on how to help your company save costs. Since the employee is the living part of your company, there are no other people who can understand your company better than your employees.

Once the employees understand the company, they will know where does the money flows to and how to prevent more money flowing out from their company.

To start, pick a date. Create a cost-saving suggestions program among your employees.

Make it compulsory for all employees to participate. Better if every one of your staff must come up with at least 5 practical cost-saving ideas.

Make the program fun and more meaningful by rewarding employees with the best and most practical cost saving suggestions. Or reward employees with the most cost-saving ideas. The rewards can be in the form of monetary value or other incentives.

Encourage employees to suggest as many ideas as possible.

Remember to give employees enough time to come out with effective and practical suggestions.

Final thoughts

From this program, the company will have hundreds or thousands of fresh, useful and practical cost-saving ideas from their own employees.

For the employees, by participating, they are practising accidental learning on the importance of cost-saving ideas for the company. As an employee, it’s great to know that their idea does matter and can help the company to move forward.

And not forgetting, they will have the opportunity to grab the cash incentive too. Make sure that the company will take action and practise useful cost-saving ideas.

After all, great ideas are meaningless if not been practised.

Lastly, I hope my sharing above on ways to cultivate cost-saving attitude among employees is beneficial to you and your organization.
