There is a way round the expensive boardroom/consultant tussles on how to get the best out of a valuable workforce: listen to the "Professionals from the Workface".

ideasUK is an association of suggestion scheme managers who work to share their expertise to help others use colleague ideas to the advantage of the business at next to no cost.

The association's members have saved thousands of pounds on consultancy fees by using the practical experience of existing suggestion scheme managers within ideasUK.

"We are the only non-commercial, not for profit association in the UK dedicated to employee suggestion schemes/reward and recognition processes", point out the organisers.

ideasUK will host its twenty-fourth annual International Conference at the Mecure Holland House Hotel, Cardiff from the 10th to 11th November, 2010. The conference will provide a forum where experts in Suggestion and Innovation Schemes from all over the world will attend and speak and share best practice.

ideasUK also organises the Idea of the Year competition in recognition of the most significant ideas implemented by organisations throughout the calendar year. This competition seeks to recognise employees and organisations for their outstanding ideas. Not only does this competition provide an opportunity for participating organisations to benchmark against other leading organisations, but it also acts as a motivational tool for employees.

"For the first time we are opening up sponsorship opportunities to the wider business community and have a limited number of packages available".
