You are the Special Events Manager at your job that schedules 100 events per calendar year. Your job is to plan the events, and schedule staff to work. The one aspect of the job that you have no control or knowledge of is the overtime budget. This is a report that comes out every week and you are not privy to the information due to the sensitivity of it. The overtime budget is "replenished" at the beginning of the year in January and is expected to last throughout the year. In April of that year, the CEO calls you and inquires about the use of the budget. He says that two employees in particular are using a lot of the overtime budget. You state to him that these employees "happily" volunteer to work events in order to get paid the overtime. He does not care and wants you to find a solution to save the budget so it will last until the end of year. In summary, he wants you to get people to work multiple events each weekend with minimal or no overtime opportunities. What would be your communication plan going forward to your event staff regarding this issue. Remember, you have to keep staff motivated and excited to work events because they are representing the organization. The CEO is mainly concerned about saving money in the budget and not how people feel. You are the Special Events Manager at your job that schedules 100 events per calendar year.
