LIGHTWEIGHT BUT EFFECTIVE

What can our employees expect from our R&D activities?

  1. All ideas are valued and will be evaluated objectively.
  2. Ideas should be submitted through the form at the bottom of this page.
  3. We do not follow a scheduled review cycle. We review ideas as we receive them.
  4. We try to provide provide feedback (email and in-person) to an employee within 2 weeks of submission.
  5. Ideas are reviewed by a small R&D committee and selected based on multiple factors.
    • Mission value to current or new business areas.
    • Our technical experience to develop the idea.
    • Remaining budget considering other on-going projects.
  6. Once a project is selected, you will be notified and asked to have a kickoff meeting.
  7. We will draft a project plan together to initiate and manage the project.
  8. Duration of most projects varies based on monthly progress and assessed ability to return value.
  9. Each employee whose idea is selected will be provided with overhead hours to assist with the project. Hours will vary depending on your experience to assist and budget.
  10. Employees may be eligible for additional compensation depending on the success of your idea.
