We've built Employee Community to be as searchable as possible so that you can quickly and easily find what you're looking for. Employee Community's search tools are visually pretty small, but our Search is a powerful tool. We'll show you how it works.

Your global Search tool can be found by clicking the magnifying glass icon in your top navigation menu. To use this search tool...

Before. This distinguishes a search that is before your specific date.
After. This distinguishes a search that is after your specific date.
