maxbreak: How gets Google the ideas of their employees?
I read that the people at Google can use a part of their working time not for their normal work but to be creative and to invent new ideas during that time. How does the leadership of Google then gets to know this ideas?
Do the people put these ideas into the intranet, where it can be judged by the colleagues. Or is their a committee of some people, which collects the ideas and evaluates them. Or is it quite different?

Google encourages their employees to spend 20 percent of their time working on ideas they feel will be most beneficial to Google.
Based on Google’s lavish employee benefits (i.e. free food, tuition reimbursement, back-up child care, etc.), employees whose ideas become reality most likely get generous compensation. Additionally, they get notoriety and a good shot at a promotion.
I also noticed, while reviewing Google patents, that all contributing employees names appear to be listed.
