How does GEMS compare with other ideas schemes?
The GEMS Scheme compares well to other suggestion schemes, we have the largest number of staff with access to a suggestion scheme, an average of 2,000 suggestions per year and the highest level of awards payable in recognition of an implemented suggestion. For these reasons and the way in which the scheme is applied and run throughtout the MOD, GEMS is seen as one of the best schemes in the world (covering both public and private sectors).
