Research Guidelines

See sliceResearch Guidelines for complete principles. Key points for HR research:

  • HR-specific sources: SHRM, Josh Bersin, McKinsey, and Deloitte publish regular HR benchmarks
  • Compliance priority: For legal topics, always prefer official government sources (DOL, EEOC, EU Commission)
  • Regional awareness: HR practices vary significantly by geography; always note jurisdiction
