WHAT IS THIS HR INNOVATION ABOUT?
Organizational culture is shifting and staff need to share and promote best practices of innovation as well as promising ideas across the organization
Bonuses awarded for risk taking and innovative thinking
WHY WAS THIS INNOVATION IMPLEMENTED?
The organization -alike many NGOs- suffered from a lack of funding to design and implement creative ideas in its programs. The idea was to deal with scarcity of time and resources available to promote a culture of organization. To do so, the organization relies on strong support of its HR teams as drivers of transformation.
WHAT ARE ITS MAIN BENEFITS?
A real culture of innovation is implemented within the NPOs and it has been awarded for its creative programs multiple times (World Innovation Summit for Excellence to mention one).
