...Training will be held in the staff gym next Tuesday at 5pm on the dot.

This is correct. Bruno uses the idiom "on the dot" to refer to the time of the training session. "On the dot" describes something exact or precise, and is generally used to refer to the time. Example: Our train left the station at 3 o'clock on the dot. A "dot" is the small round mark made by a pen or pencil, it is also the name of the "." in ".com".
This is correct. Bruno writes "I think a little bit of exercise will do us all some good", meaning playing dodgeball will improve the physical condition of the Delavigne staff. "(A bit of exercise) will do you good" means that exercise will have a positive effect on you.
This is incorrect. Bruno writes that the Delavigne staff are "invited to exhibit their dodgeball skills", which does not mean that they are invited to an "exhibition" (or an "exhibit" in American English). To "exhibit (your skills)" is to present or make public your skills. Bruno wants the Delavigne staff to show their competency at dodgeball.
This is incorrect. Bruno writes that "presence (at the special training session) is compulsory." The word "compulsory" refers to something "required" or "obligatory". Example: It is compulsory for Russian women tennis players to be young, pretty and blond.
