An accommodation must be
    effective in meeting the needs
    of the individual.  With
    PERCEVD, we have
    strategically meshed the
    multiple disciplines and
    perspectives essential for
    managing interplay between
    reasonable accommodations
    and conduct rules for combat
    exposed veterans, whether
    an employer's goal is
    diversity and inclusion, ADA
    or USERRA compliance.

"PERCEVD" Diversity and Sensitivity Training Exhibitions:
"Some data is emerging that
employer interventions can
improve productivity and reduce
employee turnover - an important
result because it can cost a
company a year of wages to
replace a worker."

"It appears the more one spends
to intervene, the more depression-
free days one gets."

"It remains possible for employers
to actually save more than they
spend on enhanced depression
treatment, because of the
increased productivity and not
having to replace skilled workers."
