First Simulation Year
After completing our first year of the HR Simulation, I am left with mixed feelings. I think that my team has done an excellent job of working together and accomplishing tasks in an efficient manner, but I am still somewhat unsatisfied with how the simulation is run. Throughout all four quarters we have received comments on our outputs that we oftentimes feel are irrelevant or misleading. For example, in quarter 2, we recorded grievances 1 point higher than the industry average, and received a comment of "good". Then in quarter 3, we recorded 35 fewer grievances than the prior quarter, and still 1 below average, and received a rather obscure comment of "careful". In addition to these annoyances, our team received flawed outputs in the fourth quarter that incorrectly set us over budget. While it is understandable that there may be programming flaws, these discrepancies are bothersome and poorly timed at the end of the year. I think issues such as these compromise the integrity of the experiment, when we are expected to take the simulation seriously.
