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.

Rarely is a commercial venture
so much of a philanthropic endeavor that
public, private, nonprofit, and for-profit
interests align to support it without a
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."

"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."
