The Human Resources records of the MCI Communications Corporation are a variety of resource and reference materials, including employee handbooks, corporate policies and practices. A collection of organizational announcements in Subseries A provides a comprehensive survey of executive appointments, departmental and divisional reorganizations, reflecting shifts in fortune and adjustments in the emphasis of MCI's business interests. The records of Cynthia Collver, in Subseries B, provide an inside view of the practice of affirmative action in a large corporation. Compensation and benefits policy material in Subseries D documents MCI's spending on employee salaries, stock option plans and other benefits during a period of rapid corporate growth. Subseries E includes a near-complete run of internal telephone directories.

The results of MCI's employee surveys in Subseries C contain opinions and feedback on corporate strategy and culture from as many as 30,000 employees, and they reflect a very different perspective on a period of dramatic upheaval and change in MCI and in American corporate culture as a whole.
