The simulation begins on Period 0 with 60 employees. A Distribution Report shows the distribution of employees by type/minority and the Employee Data screen shows several attributes for each employee. A distribution of the population by type/minority can be displayed by selecting the 'Population' option from the Distribution Report Selection Box. Also available for selection is the 'Utilization' option. This option produces a report of the percentage (Under)/Over utilization of employees relative to minority employment. Under utilization percentages greater than 5% are shown in red.

Three decision buttons are available to control the overall makeup of your workforce.  Selecting the 'Hire Manager' button allows you to add up to 2 mangers from a pool of available managers. Selecting the 'Hire Workers' button allows you to add up to 5 workers from a pool of available workers. Selecting the 'Change Employee' button allows you to change the status of up to 10 employees. These changes include training, promotion, layoff and termination.

Use the 'Requirements' button to show the expected number of employees by type for each period in the simulation. Failing to meet these requirements will lower your Effectiveness score. Press the 'Simulate' button to begin the simulation.  The Results area is updated showing scores for Compliance and Effectiveness, and a display of the number of employees leaving your firm (Turnover) is registered. To see which employees are leaving, select the 'Turnover' option on the Employee Data screen. After simulating your decisions for 12 periods, your combined score for compliance and effectiveness is your best measure for success in this simulation. Use the 'ReSet Sim' button to re-start the simulation.
