Several participation formats depending on your objectives

• The ideas box is open continuously: It allows employees to freely share their ideas at any time, whether it's a small operational improvement or an ambitious idea. This format promotes spontaneity and reinforces the feeling of being listened to.
• Calls for thematic ideas and highlights : They allow you to launch targeted campaigns on topics (e.g., CSR challenges, product innovation, process simplification). These key moments are organized with defined durations and clear objectives to generate maximum engagement.

Support for formalizing ideas

• The virtual assistant : During submission, an intelligent assistant guides the collaborator in formalizing and/or structuring their idea (benefit, problem solved, possible needs, forecast ROI, etc.)
• The customizable form : You can define your own fields to guide contributions: strategic axes, impact criteria, etc.

A dynamic of peer engagement

• Likes, votes and comments : Contributors can support or enrich posted ideas. This stimulates discussion and helps identify the most relevant ideas.
• Co-creation and building of project teams : Collaborators propose ideas alone or in teams, others can ask to join the project team to enrich and develop the idea together.

A complete process up to implementation

• Customizable moderation workflow: Ideas follow a path defined according to your internal rules (intermediate validation, configuration of moderation stages, etc.).
• Scoring and evaluation by jury : You have the possibility of setting up evaluation jury groups according to predefined criteria (in order to evaluate projects according to geographical areas, or according to thematic expertise, for example).
• Project monitoring and reporting : Once an idea is selected, your collaborators can track its status (in progress, in experimentation, in development). You also have access to dashboards allowing you to track data in real time (engagement rate, ideas proposed, number of contributions, etc.).

Examples of suggestion boxes based on concrete use cases: how Beeshake meets your challenges

Beeshake is a single idea box with multiple strategic uses. The features presented above can be configured to suit different objectives, depending on each organization's priorities.

1- Examples of idea boxes: Engage your teams in your CSR strategy

The context Faced with consumer needs, employee expectations, and regulatory requirements, companies are deploying ambitious CSR roadmaps. But for these plans to come to life and become concrete, they must involve teams and identify internal ideas and best practices.

The Beeshake Response : With Beeshake, you make your CSR strategy a shared project, experienced and supported by your teams. Rather than limiting CSR to a document posted in the break room or to very top-down discussions, Beeshake opens a space where each employee can become an agent of change at their own level.

You then capture ideas from the field that are concrete, innovative, and directly applicable. Your employees thus take ownership of CSR issues, you strengthen the consistency between discourse and actions, and you contribute to the roadmap with authentic contributions rooted in everyday life.

Example : Cospirit Groupe has structured a collaborative approach using Beeshake to broadly mobilize its teams. Thanks to spaces for open expression, thematic working groups et sustained animation, Employees were able to propose, debate and put forward concrete CSR ideas. Result: 75% employee engagement with a collective dynamic that sustainably fuels the Group's roadmap.

2- Examples of idea box: Resolving field irritants to improve performance

The context In all organizations, employees experience daily obstacles to efficiency: poorly designed tools, cumbersome processes, disconnected decision-making. When poorly identified, these irritants slow productivity and motivation.

The Beeshake Response : Beeshake allows you to bring irritants to the surface where they can truly be addressed: at the right level, at the right time, with the right visibility. You transform everyday frustrations into opportunities for continuous improvement and into a dynamic of listening, where each weak signal becomes a potential avenue for optimization. You then move from a dynamic of observation to a dynamic of resolution, fueled by those who experience the processes on a daily basis.

Example: ANAP relied on Beeshake to create a structured space for expression, able to do identify business irritants and respond to them collaboratively. Every irritant becomes an opportunity for dialogue and resolution fueled by members' ideas and supported by a rigorous processing workflow. Result: 4000 committed members et concrete solutions that emerge directly from the field.

3- Examples of idea boxes: Bringing innovation to the forefront from the field

The context It's no longer a secret that innovation can no longer be the responsibility of a single department or a small circle of experts. Field employees, in direct contact with customers, products, and organizational realities, are often the first to identify needs or avenues for improvement. But without the right tools, these ideas remain untested or invisible.

The Beeshake Response : Beeshake makes innovation accessible to all by unleashing initiative at the grassroots level. Far from being a top-down innovation model, the idea box allows each employee to feel empowered to propose, test, enrich, and bring new ideas to the table. It transforms your organization into an agile ecosystem where ideas emerge where value is created. Employees are no longer just executors of an innovation strategy; they become its co-authors.

Example: Worldline relies on a structured and engaging digital system in order to to centralize ideas which has to assess its impactt, encourage their realization and especially create a common culture of innovation. Result: 160 ideas proposed, more than €100 in potential savings over a year and a collective dynamic in progress.
