- EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
- Rated in Compute! Magazine as "One of the World's Best 101 Programs !"
- Know who it is that you are hiring. The Employee Management System
- is a highly-accurate "personality management" program. EMS helps you
- know what motivates your employees and will enable you to reduce
- advertising and interviewing costs. Reduce employee turnover by
- correctly matching employees to the work environment. EMS is an
- amazing "blow your socks off" program that can significantly reduce
- your personnel costs!
- REDUCE EMPLOYEE TURNOVER. Employee turnover is extremely
- expensive. It reduces production and increases internal friction.
- Use the EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM to:
- HIRE THE RIGHT PEOPLE. Every job has its own "ideal personality".
- Would you place a quiet, thoughtful person out in the sales field, or
- does that job require a self-motivated go-getter? EMS evaluates the
- personality needs of any job according to your specifications. Then
- it will instantly tell you which of your applicants matches that job
- requirement.
- KNOW THE WORK PERSONALITY of the applicant in a matter of minutes.
- Discover the positive work traits, decision making methods, stamina
- level, management methods, and performance characteristics of any
- employee/applicant in less than five minutes.
- KNOW WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR EMPLOYEES. EMS tells the MOTIVATIONAL and
- DEMOTIVATIONAL factors for each employee. This will help the manager
- know how to motivate an employee, to make that employee happy, and
- also how to avoid demotivating that person.
- REDUCE ADVERTISING & INTERVIEWING COSTS. EMS keeps track of all
- employees and job applicants so that when a position opens, applicants
- can be matched to the job immediately, without having to repeat the
- expensive hiring process.
- The Employee Management System is an accurate and amazing answer to
- the task of hiring employees and then keeping them happy once they are
- hired. Regis 95.oo

- ==============================================================
- EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 5
- ABSOLUTE POWER. EMS5 is our incredible next generation management
- program. It includes everything featured in our basic Employee
- Management System package, then adds the following features:
- STRESS EVALUATION SYSTEM. Stress can be very detrimental to your
- business. Excessive stress in employees causes irritation, loss of
- production, and eventually loss of that employee. EMS5 shows you key
- areas of potentially harmful stress so that you can help your employee
- overcome that stress before it becomes a business liability.
- PERSONNEL DATABASE SYSTEM lets you track important employee/
- applicant information. Define your own information requirements and
- design reports according to your needs. Keep records of any employee
- information you want: vacation and sick leave, work experience,
- personal and family information, job skills, and much more. PDS ties
- in to the Personality Evaluation Program to provide you with extensive
- reference capabilities. Do you want to locate all applicants in your
- files that live within your city limits, are age 18-34 and have
- outgoing personalities? With PDS you can do this and much more.
- COST EFFECTIVE. The EMS line of programs provides versatility and
- power at a low cost. Unlike many other programs of this nature, there
- is only a single, one-time fee. There are no "per report" charges, no
- additional costs. EMS was written specifically for the business
- environment. It is not an "adapted" psychological program. It does
- not "pull skeletons out of the closet". EMS will save you money,
- make your business more productive, and improve employee/management
- relations. Let us demonstrate EMS to you. We think you'll be amazed.
-

- more than pay for itself the first time it helps you improve employee
- relations. EMS5 is more expensive than EMS, but our clients agree its
- advanced features are worth every penny. Regis $495.

- Also includes the NOTEABLE MUSIC COURSE
- Is your computer confusing to you? This is probably because you do

- English). This wonderful course will have you understanding your
- computer in one week (or less) by way of its hands-on approach.

- In a "role-playing game" you take on the characteristics of someone
- (or something) from the realm of fantasy or science fiction and play
- the game as if you are that character. While RINGWIELDER does use
- both the worlds of fantasy and science, the occult and extreme
- violence so prevalent in other games are omitted. This provides a
- parents a viable alternative to just saying "no".

- supersonic speed. Regis 35.oo (Ringwielder) 10.oo (Slug)

- How TRY-THEN-BUY works: SHAREWARE is a term which refers to a
- method of marketing. Operational copies of the programs are made
- available for a small duplication charge. You are allowed to try out
- the program for a short period of time (usually 10-30 days). If you
- decide to continue using the program, you pay the registration fee.
- If not, you discontinue use of the program and pass it on to a friend.
- Registration always brings you extras like a printed manual, the
- newest version of the program (which often contains additional
- programs and features), free telephone support and the legal right to
- use the program. Shareware is a wonderful way for you to examine our
- software before buying it, which is a good deal for both of us. It
- means that when you do buy our product you're already satisfied with
- it. That's the way we like to do business.
