Career Planning Service

In times of economic difficulties, many organisations are forced to let go some of their valued staff. Some organisations might also consider to offer assistance to the affected staff so as to help them manage a smooth career transition. Besides the existing employee assistance services offered to organisations, such as on-site stationing, outplacement counselling, workshops and training programmes for management in assisting them to help staff face job change, Employee Development Service (EDS) is delighted to launch a comprehensive career planning service to staff of organisations, which includes individual career assessment and counselling, coaching on resume writing and interviewing skills. Through our extensive services, employers could be assured that personal, social and career needs of affected staff are taken care of in their career planning during the transition period. Therefore, the staff will be able to adjust to the career change as quickly as possible and minimise the stress brought forth. Moreover, staff morale and corporate image can also be bolstered. For details of the services offered, please call us at 2731 6350 for further information.

Our Team is Stronger ...

The professional team of EDS has been strengthened with the joining of our clinical psychologist, Ms Huang Hai Yen. Service has been improved with the support of Ms Huang in individual assessment and psychotherapy so that staff with psychological problems can be served better.
