Q. How do I research a company's human resources (HR) policies?

Most companies don't publicly list their internal policies. However, you may be able to find small pieces of information searching through several sources:

• Search news and magazine articles in Business Source Complete and Proquest Central with a company name and "human resource policies" or "hr polic*".
• Search Google for company name and "human resource policies" or "hr polic*" and filetype:pdf or filetype:doc ; this will locate if any documents have been posted on a website.
• Search the company in the Career Insider-Vault guides. See employee reviews and Vault commentary on working at the company. Note: you will need to create a separate account with Vault. 
• Finding company job postings. See company's website, major job boards like ZipRecruiter.com or Monster.ca, as well as do a Google search for company name and "job posting".
• If it's a Canadian company, see SEDAR. Search your company name and then locate their 'annual information form'. This often contains small pieces of HR-related information.
