coordinating the program of hearings of the Director General

[susanna76]

Hi,

Now I'm really stumped. A Director General can hold hearings to listen to the concerns of his employees, but what would you call them when he's admitting to his presence guests? I'm translating a resume and this person is using the same Romanian phrase (literally, "program of audience") for both. I'm not even sure "program of hearings" is 100% correct in the first instance, let alone the second.

Should I maybe just say "program of audiences," with "audiences" (plural)?

Thank you!

Kings and popes have audiences. Normal people have meetings, and so they have a schedule of meetings.

Yes, but ministers and directors of old-style companies also have audiences. Here's from a book:

After his ministerial audience, he would take a morning walk (anything less than an hour and a half was unsatisfactory), often with his children. At 1 P.M., he ...

No, those are government ministers having audiences with the Czar.

Okay then, but how do I express the idea that the Director General receives employees and guests to listen to their concerns? "Meetings" is too general a term. Should I say "hearing schedule"/"schedule of hearings" after all, and if so, which one?
P.S. The problem I have with "hearings" is that it suggests an investigation.

"Meetings with employees to discuss their concerns."
