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."

Rarely is a commercial venture
so much of a philanthropic
endeavor that public, private,
nonprofit, and for-profit interests
align to support it with no sense
of conflict.
"PERCEVD truly opened my eyes
to many of the obvious and subtle
challenges faced by transitioning
Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and
other people with disabilities in the
workplace.  This training goes a long
way towards helping our staff to
better understand many of the
various nuances regarding mental
and physical disabilities and create
a more inclusive workplace
environment."
