Minutes of SAC Meeting
19 June 1958
The minutes of the regular Committee meeting held
on 6 March 1958 were approved.
Chairmaas a. The basic problem we have in our program is obviously
to obtain interest on the part of the supervisor --
not the first line, but the 75th line supervisor.
b. Security precludes publicizing. some awards which
could. do the program so much good. This limits our
salesmanship possibilities. We have to think faster
and harder with each idea we have for promoting the
program.
c. I think a new thing we can do to get the supervisory
group interested is to cut the supervisor in when we
approve a suggestion. With the $8,500.00 award for
changes in the reports system, the supervisors were
very instrumental in getting the case approved. But,
it has been almost impossible to get adequate
recognition for the supervisors --- I think we would
possibly get this through the Honor Awards system.
However, it seems to me that this Committee must
devise some system. We can learn from Industry that
salary increases. for merit performance are very worth-
while. I have been in stiuations in Industry where
a salary increase by management turned a bad situation
into a state of great progress. We cannot do this
in Government, at least not yet. However, maybe we
could have a separate board called a Merit Performance
Board., That is under consideration and I intend to
push it. I think we must seize every opportunity to
get the supervisors "on the team".
d. This is why we see an advantage in changing the
Committee members annually. The person who has
served with the Committee is suggestion minded and
even though he or she has finished a term, we can
count on loyalty and enthusiasm from them. In other
words, they are still one of us.
Exarguat a. Suggestions in process at this time total 225 cases.
