The purpose of the Bright Ideas Program is to improve the quality of city services by recognizing active employees who propose suggestions that directly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of city operations and/or propose suggestions that significantly reduce safety risks in the workplace.

An award may be granted when one or more employees submit(s) in writing a proposal that directly contributes to improved economy, efficiency, effectiveness or safety of city operations.

The Bright Ideas Program is a program of the Manchester City Quality Council.
