A message to our Customers from the Director of the
Office of Human Resources and Organizational Services
We are pleased to introduce EPA's Career Resource and Counseling Center.
This brochure briefly describes our new Center and tells you how to take
advantage of all we have to offer.
President Clinton directed each Agency to provide a basic level of
outplacement and job services support through a Career Transition Center.
EPA is fortunate to have avoided massive outplacement and RIFs of
employees. However, many other pressures currently affect our workforce,
such as changing supervisor to staff ratios, transition to team-based
organizations, limited fiscal resources, ceilings on promotions to grades 14
and 15 and many personal and family issues that working individuals and
families face in today's world. In addition, many employees are dedicated to
the Agency's mission, and would like to remain with EPA, but are ready for a
new job challenge.
We have designed the new Career Resource and Counseling Center to
provide "one-stop shopping" for EPA employees seeking help with career
changes or personal counseling services. We encourage you to contact the
Center's staff directly or to make use of the "Virtual Center" we have created
for the Agency's intranet. Either way, we are committed to providing you
with the high quality services and assistance you need to enhance your
opportunity for greater levels of personal and professional responsibility and
growth.
Sincerely,
David J. O'Connor
