    Always place brackets around the terms you have used the OR operator on:

    Benefits and (employee* or staff or worker*)

    Benefits and employee* or staff or worker*

    Using “OR”
    • Manag* will help you search:
    – Manage
    – Managing
    – Management
    – Managerial
    – Managers
    – Etc….

    • Be judicious in your use of truncation. E.g. car* will get you car and
    cars, but also cards, carrier, carts, care etc…
