Carmi rewards efforts in innovation of her employees through a recognition program that celebrates attempts, regardless of the outcome.
Every month, she gives out an award for the "Trailblazer of the Month," showing everyone that trying new things is important.
Additionally, she provides the necessary resources, such as time, tools, and training, to support her team’s experimentation.
She created a safe place for trying new things by having regular meetings where her team can share ideas without worrying about being judged.
Remember, innovation takes time.
Encourage employees to take risks and celebrate their willingness to try new things.
