Idea Pool
Employees share ideas on open topics or independently; proposals are scored against criteria, accepted ones are implemented and results are announced.

How It Works
Open a topic or propose
An authorized person opens a topic and employees respond; anyone can also submit an independent proposal.
Evaluate
Topic ideas are marked; proposals go through screening, scoring and decision steps.
Implement and recognize
Accepted proposals are implemented or piloted; results are announced and rewards recorded.

Common Questions
In Kolekto's Idea Pool module, if the organization allows it, an employee can submit an idea anonymously, and their name does not appear on the idea, its attachments or the result announcement. Revealing identities stays off unless it is separately enabled in the organization settings; when it is, only an Idea Pool administrator can reveal an author, and every reveal is written to the activity log.
In Kolekto's Idea Pool module, proposals are evaluated by scoring each of the impact, feasibility, cost, fit and risk criteria from 1 to 5; the organization sets the criterion weights, and higher cost and risk scores lower the total. The decision is accept, pilot, reject or postpone, and a rejection requires a rejection reason and an explanation.
Pending approvals, resolved requests and new assignments are delivered both in-app and by email. Employees track the stage of their request from their panel.
Access is role-based: only those with HR module permission see employee records, and every employee can access their own. Critical actions are written to the audit log, so who viewed and changed what is traceable.
