Yeah well I was wrong, there were far more variables than I had even begun to consider...
Fortunately, the HR simulation has NOT been a roller coaster ride. There were a few bumps here and there, but surely and sometimes slowly, we were steadily progressing on all levels. Over four quarters our grievances have dropped roughly 40 points, morale increased 14 points, quality increased from 20+ points, turnover decreased from 4 percentage points, and productivity increased from 15 points. All these trends are highly encouraging. Finding a relationship among those trends was key. As the grapher for my team, I created thirteen line graphs to establish some form of correlational evidence to follow the trends. While I cannot go into detail with my findings to avoid leaking company secrets ;) or inadvertent collusion, I must say the results were both expected and unanticipated. Data was far from significant in quarters 1, 2, and even 3. By quarter 3 we could establish whether certain factors had formed positive, negative, or non correlational relationships. Quarter 4, however, proved whether those relationships could be trusted or if they were consistent. This information will certainly be used with heavy consideration for our quarter 5 inputs--we will attempt further verification of our findings and use them to achieve our company goals in hopes of higher levels of success.
