The solution to your issue completely depends on which version of Angular you are on and whether you're using Http or HttpClient.

If you're using HttpClient, then:

empservicecall() {
  return this.http.get("http://localhost:3000/api/Employee");
}

And in your Component:

GetEmpName(){
  this.Emp.empservicecall()
    .subscribe(response => {
      console.log(response);
      this.name = response[0].name
    });
}

If you're using Http(which has been deprecated after the introduction of HttpClient in Angular 4.3 BTW), then:

import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';

empservicecall() {
  return this.http.get("http://localhost:3000/api/Employee")
    .map((res: any) => res.json());
}

And in your Component:

GetEmpName(){
  this.Emp.empservicecall()
    .subscribe(response => {
      console.log(response);
      this.name = response[0].name
    });
}
