Virtual Business Management Challenge #1 Hints

When you open the Challenge file, you do not have any employees working in your warehouse and you have five customers. Without enough employees you will not be able to fulfill orders.
If you don�t have enough employees staffed at each job position, you can create bottlenecks within your warehouse. Be sure to review the Tutorial so that you know the job descriptions for each of the positions.
Be sure to supervise your employees. You may give your employees warnings if they are absent too often or if their productivity levels aren�t high enough.
If employees fail to improve after you have warned them, you may fire them. Be sure to warn them at least two times before firing them. Otherwise, you will be at risk for a lawsuit.
Be sure to monitor your employees� reaction to workload and pay. You may stop the simulation and click on an employee to see how they feel. Employees will quit if they are unhappy with workload or pay.
If you would like to give your employees a raise, you may use the Compensate Employees screen to give groups of employees a raise. You may also give all of your employees at once a raise.
Remember, you may complete the competition file as many times as you wish and upload as many scores as you would like. We will always rank you based on your best score.
