Question

QUESTION 1

1. As an Organizational Psychologist, you have thought of arranging a picnic in two weeks’ time for your employees from all departments and their families to unwind their work stress and give them a healthy mental break. There are many fun activities that you have planned. For the children, there will be games like three-legged races and kite-flying. For the adults, besides the baseball game in the afternoon, there will also be sack race and horseshoes. There will be prizes for the winners of all the events. Lunch should be around noon, and you are generously providing all the food and drinks, so let your employees know that they do not need to bring anything.

Your Task: Write a memo requesting, but not demanding, that employees attend the picnic. Also ask your employees to confirm at least one week in advance whether they are coming or not, and also how many guests they are bringing. Also, make sure employees know when and how to respond to you. Be sure to list the activities for that day as well.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you already know how to go about the introductory part of the memo, so, I will just jump to the body of the memo in itself.

I am writing to inform you of an upcoming picnic, scheduled to hold in 2 weeks time. You are all invited as well as the members of the family. I believe you all need a little break so as not to be overworked, thus I am organizing this picnic.

I have set out interesting events to make sure you all enjoy yourself on that day. There will be enough food and drinks. There are games I've lined out for the kids, and the adults too. The children will have to play games like kite flying, three legged race, and even athletics. The adults, have sack races, horseshoes and also sprint races.

I am hoping you all would find it pleasing to attend the little event, you can call it my little way of giving back to those who work for me diligently. I will appreciate if you can reply me as early and up to a week before the picnic on if you would be coming, and how many guests you would be bringing.

Thank you all.
