“In companies with innovative environments, employees feel management is open to new ideas and experimentation. These companies understand that new strategic ideas come from all levels of an organization,” says Mike Ryan, senior vice president of Madison Performance Group, a premier global reward and recognition design and consulting firm.

Research shows, according to the Madison briefing, that innovators flourish at workplaces where employees are rewarded for idea development.

“Companies that give positive attention to new ideas demonstrate to employees that it’s okay to experiment and develop new ideas— even if they aren’t ‘perfect’ the first time around,” says Ryan. “In fact, showering positive attention on new ideas is considered a best practice at innovative companies.

The new electronic version of Madison Performance Group’s executive briefing, Performance Perspectives, offers three ideas for igniting innovation in the workplace.
