I have been tasked to write a speech for the company director to read at the end-of-year meeting with the employees at the company HQ. I am only 3 weeks old in this role as an HR/Administrative Assistant. Please help me with guidelines to draft this speech. Thank you in advance.

Dear Peter,
Writing a draft of the end-of-the-year speech is the job of the Executive Assistant to the Director. He/she should prepare the draft, show it to some senior official like the VP, and then submit it to the Director.
We, the members of this forum, are outsiders. We do not know anything about your company such as the nature of the business, the challenges your company faced in the year and how these were overcome, achievements of the year, and so on. Therefore, what can we propose?
Anyway, I recommend you approach the senior member who has been working for several years in the company. Ask him/her what were the noteworthy things in the year. In your draft, you may include something on the COVID-19 pandemic. How did it impact your company's business and how was the situation handled?
Thanks,

Rightly pointed out by the learned member, Mr. Dinesh Divekar, it is better to seek help or guidance from one of the senior members who can assist you within the organization.
