suggestion boxes

Employee idea collectors

Suggestion boxes are containers where people can submit anonymous feedback or ideas, typically found in workplaces.

The physical box with a slot has become largely metaphorical—many organizations now use digital equivalents.

The term sometimes carries a cynical edge, implying suggestions go unread: That feedback form is just a suggestion box nobody checks.
