FOD Finder of the Month

Employees find FOD constantly, so why not promote their diligence. FOD Finder of the Month is simple yet effective. The criteria can range from the most FOD found to the most exotic FOD found and everything in between. The recognized employee should be prominently displayed with a picture of the FOD found to keep employees focused on FOD.

An issue can arise from such a program though. Employees might start making/manufacturing FOD to win the award. The best way to counteract this mentality is to keep the reward low. Example: If the prize is a day off from work, employees will be tempted to make/manufacture FOD to win the reward. Therefore, keep the reward low, such as recognition or something simple.

Remember the goal is to keep FOD control on the minds of your employees, not to give extravagant rewards.
