Employee Voting Now Open - CHECK THIS LINK Innovate ITD continues to roll along, even in these uncertain and challenging times. Since the beginning in the spring of 2014, the department's innovation effort has generated nearly $11 million in savings and efficiencies, more than 212,000 hours saved, 660 customer service improvements and more than 1,600 employee ideas. Making things safer, improving processes, and saving time and money is the heartbeat of Innovate ITD, and your input will help us find the Best of the Best from the last 12 months. COVID-19 had a huge impact on the last half of the fiscal year, so it is only appropriate that we recognize those innovations that helped us all deal with the pandemic, move forward, and improvise in order to continue providing exemplary customer service to the public. Innovate ITD continues to impress: the effort was a finalist in 2019 for Idaho Innovative Company of the Year, for the second time in four years - still the only public-service state agency to make that list. Innovate ITD was also the top entry from the U.S. in the recent Gartner international awards. Every employee has the opportunity to engage in making their workplace a little bit safer, better and improve how we deliver services to citizens. Voting for Best of the Best… - Innovation stewards and the Innovative Business Practices team selected finalists for each of traditional seven Best of the Best categories from all the innovations employees submitted. We also added a COVID category this year: Thank you again for all your hard work to make ITD the best transportation department in the country and standing up to be counted in Innovate ITD!
