How we helped the City of Kent Washington
EDS initially conducted a training and development needs assessment and conducted Diversity Awareness training for all staff. Subsequently, EDS has assisted in developing Kent University, providing ongoing training in Team Building, Conflict Management, Customer Service, Men and Women Working Together, Generational Differences, and Sexual Harassment Prevention. Individual coaching, team building and retreat facilitation are provided on request.
“We hired EDS to provide Diversity Awareness Training to all our staff. As we worked with them during the initial phases, it became clear they could help us with other training needs and were instrumental in helping us establish our Kent University program. EDS has provided conflict management, leadership, team building, gender differences and sexual harassment prevention training. We have also used them in executive coaching, consulting and retreat facilitation. We have been very pleased with the results they have demonstrated as well as their ability to help us develop new curricula for our staff. They are very responsive.”
