Employee Suggestion Box & Innovation Program

Empower Your Team's Best Ideas with Paperform

Every employee has ideas that could transform your business—but only if there's an easy way to share them. This Employee Suggestion Box & Innovation Program template helps you collect innovative ideas, gather feedback on your innovation process, and measure how well your team feels recognized for their contributions.

Built for HR teams and internal communications

Whether you're running a formal innovation program or simply want to open the door to employee input, this template makes it simple. Employees can submit ideas anonymously or with attribution, provide context on implementation challenges, and share honest feedback about how suggestion programs are working (or not working) at your company.

The form captures everything you need: the idea itself, the problem it solves, feasibility considerations, and feedback on transparency, speed of review, and recognition. Conditional logic ensures employees only answer relevant follow-up questions based on their responses.

Why this works better on Paperform

Unlike rigid survey tools or email-based suggestion systems, Paperform gives you a clean, branded experience that actually encourages participation. The doc-style editor lets you add context, examples, and encouragement throughout the form—making it feel human, not corporate.

After submission, use Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically route ideas to the right department heads, create tasks in your project management tool, and send status updates back to the submitter. You can also set up approval workflows so leadership reviews high-potential ideas without losing them in an inbox.

For teams tracking engagement trends, Paperform's built-in AI Insights can summarize common themes across submissions, identify patterns in what employees want improved, and highlight recurring innovation barriers—saving hours of manual analysis.

Perfect for people teams, innovation managers, and internal comms

This template works for companies of all sizes looking to formalize employee feedback loops, increase engagement, and create a culture of continuous improvement. Whether you're measuring satisfaction with your current innovation program or launching a suggestion box for the first time, Paperform gives you the flexibility to adapt the form, automate the follow-up, and integrate with tools like Slack, Notion, Airtable, or your HRIS.

Trusted by over 500,000 teams worldwide, SOC2 Type II & GDPR compliant, Paperform is the modern way to gather employee ideas and measure innovation culture—no developers required.
