:B.B. Games, Inc. is a small family-owned business that makes board games for children and adults. The company was founded in 1960 by the late Bradley Buttersworth of Peterborough, Ontario, and it is now run by his son, Bradley Jr. The company occupies a modern factory in Peterborough and has 100 employees. You are the Human Resources Director for B.B. Games. The pandemic is not yet over, and it has hit many sectors of the economy and caused a global recession. B.B. Games has suffered just as other small businesses have. One issue is that fewer people are playing board games today as so much gaming happens online. Fortunately, no one at B.B. Games has lost their job; however, salaries have been frozen, and bonuses have been cancelled. Employee morale is low as workers fret about job security and loss of income. Your task is to increase employee morale at B.B. Games by planning an activity that will bring people together and allow them to have a good time with their colleagues. The company also also has good news to share: although social isolation and stay-at-home orders are no longer in effect, people are still engaging in family activities in the home, including playing board games. For the first time in a decade, the demand for board games is increasing, and sales at B.B. Games are on the rise. Here is your event planning guide: • You have a budget of $2500 (525 per employee). • Your activity must be completed within one day (no overnight trips). • Your activity may be onsite or offsite. The factory has outdoor space for an onsite event, weather permitting. You get to decide how to spend this budget, and then you must communicate your plan to the 100 employees of the company. Write a memo to the employees of B.B. Games, telling them what the company's situation is and what event is planned to give them a good time and raise their morale. What should my memo look like? The ideas you come up with are entirely up to you. You can use your imagination but also be realistic. For further guidance and support, refer to the "How to Write a Memo" document. • Use the heading MEMORANDUM. • Use standard memo format including TO, FROM, DATE and SUBJECT fields. • Use block format, with an extra space between paragraphs, and no indention for new paragraphs. • Decide whether your pattern should be direct or indirect. • Make sure employees are given all the details of your plan; consider using graphic organizers for key event details (date, time, location, special instructions). • Thank employees for their commitment and service to the company. :B.B.
