Dubai Municipality has organised a ceremony entitled, “Together, Let’s Innovate†to honour employees who submitted innovative suggestions under the DM’s Suggestion Scheme. The corporate suggestion scheme, with the slogan, “Have Your Sayâ€, picked up 89 winning ideas which were implemented by the civic body, resulting in performance enhancement as well as material savings and income for the municipality.
The municipality has been organising annual celebrations to document the winning suggestions and honouring employees from different departments who come up with creative ideas. Employees have been rewarded for winning ideas which have a significant impact in reducing expenses.
