Workplace Resolution

Companies are beginning to understand that employees are not one-dimensional; rather, they are a complex package. They bring to the organization not only their skills and abilities but also their personal relationships and problems. (Johnson & Gardner, 1999).  D’VA will provide collaboration with local domestic violence agency that will provide full services to employees.
