BSG advice from a former BSG Grand Champion

The first screen in on the decision page is corporate citizenship. It's mostly a waste of money. They give the Gold Star Award, but it doesn't do anything for you, except make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. However, you can increase your Image Rating with some of the options. The key, as with the rest of game is to optimize. The choices that will best optimize your image rating are the Ethics Training, which you'll put on 'All Employees', and Workforce Diversity Program, which you'll put on 'Yes'. If you go any further than that, you're spending too much money and your costs will erode your revenues, thus decreasing your profits, which lowers your ROE, EPS, possibly your credit rating, and your stock price. If it lowers 3/5 of your grading criteria, how can you possibly win?
