According to William E. Haberkorn, vice president-employee relations, one of the principles of suggestion pro grams is to encourage new ideas which will result in costs savings. However, the Employee Suggestion Program receives many suggestions with no tangible savings. The program will be suspended effective April 1,1989. “ilre original design of the program has proven beneficial to a limited group of employees, leaving the majority of ideas submitted ineligible for review,” Haberkorn said. “The company believes that now is the time to con sider a program which will include a wider range of employees.” All suggestions received in employee relations prior to April 1,1989, will be reviewed in accordance with the Employee Suggestion Program guide lines. All suggestions received on or after April 1,1989, will be returned directly to the employee. Employees will be advised when, and if, a new program is developed.
