Incident Reports...
In my opinion, the most enjoyable part of the HR simulation is dealing with the incident reports. Unlike the constant number crunching and budgeting of the input sheet, the incident reports allow an excellent group discussion to occur. Also, it allows insights into other aspects of the simulation. For one incident, I can remember my group reading a report and finding a strong connection with another section of the input sheet. We decided to change around some budgeting, and it really paid off by boosting some of our average statistics.
Also, the incident report is so valuable as a management experience. Making a major error in this simulation may gain someone negative feedback from the instructor, but at least he or she will not lose his or her job. The constant weighing of circumstances, ethics, and budgets is the clearly the most enjoyable part of the simulation. That is, of course, aside from having $1,600,000 to play with.
