One of the objectives of ARE Wisdom is to incubate qualified small and medium enterprises (SMEs), business start-ups, non-profit making organisations and social enterprises which are in need of help with the aid of the experience and power of the elderly.
As such, when we perform work matching, we will inform the elderly (Service Providers) whether the Service Recipient seeking service is a “Target Service Recipient” and will encourage the elderly to provide services to a Target Service Recipient at a discounted price.
We will review the eligibility of “Target Service Recipient” from time to time.

Our free-of-charge services to Service Providers in different stages
Stage 1:
Pre-work Couseling
Group counseling services to be provided by way of seminars, workshops and sharing sessions
Individual counseling services to be provided to those elderly with special needs (referral by our staff)
The counseling services enable the elderly to better understand their potentials, be willing to explore new experiences, and be prepared psychologically to adapt to work and providing services after retirement
We welcome the elderly accompanied by their family members in participating our group counseling, this enables the family members to better understand our services and let the elderly join this project at ease.

Provision of useful information and tips about working again or providing voluntary services after retirement through our pre-work counseling or publications
Provision of information on the Employment Ordinance, the rights and obligations of a self-employed persons, occupation safety, employment compensation insurance, MPF etc.
If required, we may refer a Service Provider to insurance services companies
Stage 3:
Work Matching
We perform the work matching based on the principle of “count on talent”
We encourage the Service Providers inform us in advance their preferred working time, mode etc. so that we could identify appropriate work or service opportunities to their satisfaction
Stage 4:
Post-Contract Case Follow Up Services
Once an ordinary job agency has procured the signing of a contract, it will no longer follow up the case and the contracting parties are left to deal with their own cooperation relationship; when the relationship turns sour, the parties could be quite helpless and frustrated
Unlike ordinary job agencies, after procuring a contract be signed, we pay attention to whether the elderly adapt his new job and the cooperation relationship between the elderly and the Service Recipient
Therefore, we provide case follow up services in order to co-ordinate the relationship between the elderly and the Service Recipient and make efforts to protect the elderly’s legal rights, enabling them to have a pleasant work/service experience
