Read the case below and answer the questions that follow.
You are attempting to achieve a positive and helpful tone to invite employees to the benefits fair. Your goal is to get as many employees to attend as possible. In this exercise, you will assume the role of a human resources (HR) specialist for your company. Each year, your company holds an open enrollment period during October. During this period, employees can make changes to various benefits, such as health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and retirement packages. As part of the open enrollment period, you hold a benefits fair. At this event, representatives for each of your approved insurance and retirement plan vendors are available. Also, representatives from your own office are there to answer questions. To attract employees to the event, you also invite several high-profile speakers to discuss health care and retirement planning. You are writing several messages to employees to invite them to the event. You will send these messages via email and as announcements on the corporate intranet. You expect that you can be particularly influential by posting to the benefits blog, which is one of the most widely accessed blogs on your corporate intranet.
