EFC-StrEdge partnership offers customized business solutions

Expanding the portfolio of the ‘Solutions’ arm of the Employers’, the Federation of Ceylon (EFC) recently entered into a partnership with StrEdge Advisory (Pvt) Ltd. Following the MoU signed between the EFC and StrEdge, the collaboration now offers a broad spectrum of new services to the EFC members as well as non-members.
“This partnership will facilitate our objective of offering a wider range of products and services, particularly focusing on the strategic side. StrEdge, with its acumen in financial management will add value,” said the Director General of the EFC, Kanishka Weerasinghe in a media release issued by the EFC.

“The EFC-StrEdge partnership has scaled up the existing portfolio of the solutions arm of the EFC. In addition to the customized HR and Legal solutions it has been providing, the new partnership makes an array of other solutions possible and thereby enables a wider range of services to both the members and the non-members. Particularly, the financial and strategic management expertise StrEdge brings in, blends in with the labour law and HR expertise of the solutions arm,” said Sewwandi Jayatunga Wijesekera, Assistant Director General and Head of Solutions (HR& Legal), EFC. 
The partnership, as she further notes, is a win-win where some of the best experts in their respective fields from both organisations will collaborate to leverage the business needs of modern day. 
Director/CEO of StrEdge Advisory (Pvt) Ltd Sumedha Wijesekera, said: “Business consultancy which has become ingrained in today’s business world comes at a cost, very often facilitated through overseas bodies. We at StrEdge deliver a gamut of services developed by our team of experts which brings with themselves hands-on experience reaped at state, private and multi-national level. This not only enables the companies to partner with consultants who understand the pulse of Sri Lankan business but retain a considerable amount of money within the country which otherwise would have gone beyond our shores.”
