The main reason for having a suggestion box is pretty Say hello to the suggestion box for the modern workplace Combine this with the recent shift to work-from-home for many and there’s very little reason for the suggestion box to continue as a physical item in an office.

A year passed by and the tape was exactly as I left it. Next, I placed a small piece of tape on the suggestion box’s lock. A few months went by and the suggestion box remained where it always had been. One day, I decided to leave a note in the suggestion box – suggesting that it be moved to another part of the office with higher traffic.

It sat in the corner of a supply area, collecting dust and coffee rings as business marched forward around it.

In my younger, much more satirical years, I worked at a small business that had a suggestion box. Say goodbye to the traditional suggestion box Why? Because traditional suggestion boxes are outdated and can cause more problems than they’re meant to solve. Our team concentrated on automation & integration as a topic for March, and I quickly became obsessed with the idea of demonstrating a way to create an online suggestion box using Microsoft Forms, Teams, and Power Automate – and do so in under 10 minutes.
