Each director attended at least 75% of the board meetings and meetings of committees on which he or she served in 2023. The board of directors held five meetings during 2023. The board of directors did not take any action by written consent during 2023. The board of directors has established a general retirement age of 75. Under the Company’s corporate governance guidelines, an individual cannot be nominated for election to the board of directors after his or her 75th birthday. Any director who turns 75 during his or her normal term will continue in office until the expiration of that term. William Downe has informed us that he does not wish to stand for re-election at the annual meeting. We express our thanks to Bill for his valuable service to ManpowerGroup and its shareholders, and for his many contributions to the Board over the past 13 years, including as our lead director. Following his retirement, the board of directors will have eleven members. Under ManpowerGroup’s bylaws, nominations, other than those made by the board of directors or the governance and sustainability committee, must be made pursuant to timely notice in proper written form to the Secretary of ManpowerGroup. To be timely, a shareholder’s request to nominate a person for election to the board of directors at an annual meeting of shareholders, together with the written consent of such person to serve as a director, must be received by the Secretary of ManpowerGroup at the principal office of the Company not earlier than the close of business on the 150th day, nor later than the close of business on the 90th day, prior to the date of the annual meeting fixed pursuant to the bylaws. To be in proper written form, the notice must contain certain information concerning the nominee and the shareholder submitting the nomination, including the disclosure of any hedging, derivative or other complex transactions involving the Company’s common stock to which a shareholder proposing a director nomination is a party. In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must generally provide notice no later than 60 days prior to the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting date in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Compensation Elements
| | DESCRIPTION | FOR MORE INFORMATION | | Qualified Retirement Plans | Although we maintain a qualified 401(k) plan in the United States, our NEOs are not eligible to participate (except as described in the following sentence) because of limitations on participation by highly compensated employees under the rules governing such plans. NEOs are eligible to participate only in the first year of their employment (after which they are eligible to participate in the nonqualified savings plan) and in making catch-up contributions for individuals over the age of 50. | Page 50 | | Nonqualified Savings Plan (“NQSP”) | Used to provide NEOs with reasonably competitive benefits to those in the competitive market. NEOs are eligible to participate after the first year of employment. | Page 50 | | Career Shares | Used selectively by the Committee as an incentive in the form of long-dated RSUs, typically with a five-year year vesting date, as needed to attract and retain executives. The Committee makes infrequent use of this compensation element and determines each year whether to make any such awards. | Page 50 | | Other Benefits | The Committee confers limited additional benefits to NEOs. These include financial planning reimbursement, broad-based automobile benefits, participation in broad-based employee benefit plans, and certain other benefits required by local law or driven by market practice. | Page 51 |

How We Determine the Competitive Market: Challenges in Identifying a Relevant Peer Group
How We Determine the Competitive Market: Challenges in Identifying a Relevant Peer Group The Committee devotes considerable effort to identifying an appropriate competitive market for benchmarking our executive compensation. The Committee has determined that simply benchmarking against other U.S. companies in our industry would not yield a meaningful peer group. We present a different profile, being significantly larger, more complex, and more global in scope than other U.S.-listed companies in our industry:
How We Determine the Competitive Market: Challenges in Identifying a Relevant Peer Group
| • | Our two largest competitors, Adecco and Randstad, are based in Europe, and although we review available compensation data for these two companies, their pay practices are different and disclosure practices differ. |
How We Determine the Competitive Market: Challenges in Identifying a Relevant Peer Group
| • | Our nearest U.S. public competitor had much smaller revenue — approximately $6 billion in 2023 compared to our revenue of nearly $19 billion — and the other U.S. public competitors are even smaller. |
How We Determine the Competitive Market: Challenges in Identifying a Relevant Peer Group
Mercer has confirmed to the Committee that attempting to use such competitors would not produce relevant data for benchmarking purposes.
The 2023 Peer Group
The 2023 Peer Group For 2023, Mercer continued to use the peer group methodology the Committee adopted in 2022 to create greater comparability to the Company’s business. The methodology includes the following factors: (i) similar size to ManpowerGroup in revenues, or market capitalization; (ii) companies in the service sector and with global footprints and comparable margin profiles; and (iii) companies where ManpowerGroup is identified as a peer company by the issuer or by proxy advisory firms. This peer group of 23 companies, which is the same as the peer group used in 2022, is designed to align with these priorities on a composite basis.
The 2023 Peer Group
| 2023 Peer Group Companies | | | | Aramark | EOG Resources, Inc. | Nucor Corporation | | Baker Hughes Co. | Fluor Corporation | PACCAR Inc. | | CBRE Group, Inc. | General Mills, Inc. | Textron Inc. | | CDW Corp. | Genuine Parts Co | The Clorox Co. | | CH Robinson Worldwide Inc. | Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. | The Gap, Inc. | | Cummins Inc. | International Paper Company | Western Digital Corporation | | Dollar Tree, Inc. | Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. | WW Grainger Inc. | | DXC Technology Company | Kohl’s Corporation | |
Additional Data Sources
Additional Data Sources The Committee also uses data from U.S. compensation surveys published by Mercer and other third-party data providers that are recommended by Mercer as a means to evaluate compensation for certain NEO positions. The CEO and CFO positions were only compared to companies within the peer group for 2023. Compensation for global functional leaders was compared against compensation survey data recommended by Mercer for executives with similar roles and responsibilities. Ms. Nettles’s position was compared to a composite of U.S. compensation survey data of Chief Human Resources Officers and top functional officers within the peer group for 2023. Mr. Buchband’s position was compared with U.S. compensation survey data of legal executives.
The Committee’s Decision-Making Process
The Committee’s Decision-Making Process The Committee determines the CEO’s compensation levels, including base salary, establishing and determining the achievement of the financial goals and Strategic KPIs and ESG Goals for the annual cash incentives, and any equity-based compensation awards. Generally, the CEO establishes and recommends the achievement of the goals and objectives for the annual incentives for the other NEOs, with the Committee making the final determinations. Similarly, the CEO generally recommends to the Committee any salary adjustments, cash incentive awards or equity-based awards for the other NEOs, which are then evaluated and determined by the Committee. Mercer provides input to the Committee regarding the final compensation for all of the NEOs. This input reflects the Company’s performance results for 2023, external market references against the peer group, internal compensation references and the individual performance of each of the NEOs. Under the Committee’s charter, compensation for our CEO and CFO is subject to ratification by the board of directors. Accordingly, the board of directors ratified the determinations for Mr. Prising and Mr. McGinnis.
Components of the 2023 Executive Compensation Program — Base Salary
Components of the 2023 Executive Compensation Program — Base Salary Base salaries for NEOs are set based on base salaries paid in the relevant competitive market, for the particular position, subject to individual performance factors as described earlier. Base salary levels affect the value of the annual incentive awarded to the NEOs because the incentive is awarded as a percentage of base salary. A higher base salary will result in a higher annual incentive, assuming the same level of achievement against goals. The level of severance benefits each NEO may receive is also increased if his or her salary is increased. The value of long-term incentive awards is not determined as a multiple of base salary. All of the NEOs received an increase between 3% and 6% in base salary in 2023 to better align with the competitive market for their roles.
Components of the 2023 Executive Compensation Program — Annual Cash Incentives
Components of the 2023 Executive Compensation Program — Annual Cash Incentives The Incentive Plan provides for the payment of annual cash rewards to a participant based on the Company’s attainment of one or more financial goals and Strategic KPIs and ESG Goals established for that participant for the relevant year. Incentive amounts are based on achievement of pre-established goals using these metrics. The financial goals include EPS, ROIC and Revenue. The Strategic KPIs and ESG Goals are tied to broad strategic or operational initiatives.
How EPS, ROIC and Revenue are Calculated
See page 35 for a discussion of the specific items excluded from EPS, ROIC and Revenue for 2023. The EPS target is generally based on the Company’s targeted long-term growth rate for EPS, but may be adjusted year-by-year based on economic conditions and the Company’s expected financial performance for the year. From that target, the Committee then sets levels for threshold and outstanding performance. The threshold EPS growth rate reflects a level of performance that is below target but still appropriate for a partial award to be earned. Conversely, the outstanding EPS growth rate reflects a level of performance appropriate for the maximum incentive to be earned. So the comparisons are valid between the two years, the growth rates are based on growth over results of the previous year excluding non-recurring items. The ROIC target is determined based on the earnings growth reflected by the EPS target as well as consideration by the Committee of factors relating to the Company’s level of capital. The Revenue target is generally based on the Company’s targeted long-term growth rate for Revenue. Similar to EPS, it may be adjusted year-by-year based on economic conditions and the Company’s expected financial performance for the year. This methodology is not the same as the Company’s financial budgeting or business outlook for the year. As a result, target performance for purposes of achieving an incentive award will not be the same as performance as the budgeted financial plan, which may be higher or lower than target performance depending on economic conditions and trends at the time.
The 2023 EPS, ROIC and Revenue Goals
The 2023 EPS, ROIC and Revenue Goals For 2023, the Committee continued its practice of setting threshold, target and outstanding goals for EPS and ROIC that were based on its view of appropriate rates of EPS growth based on prior year achievement. Similarly, the Committee set threshold, target and outstanding goals for Revenue that were based on its view of appropriate Revenue growth. The Committee believed the threshold levels for EPS, ROIC and Revenue were the minimum levels at which it would be appropriate to earn an incentive, based on global economic conditions as they existed at the time when the goals were set in mid-February 2023. Each year the Committee sets targets based on macroeconomic factors and the Company’s business outlook for the coming year and does so independently of where the target levels have been set for the prior year. Given the cyclical nature of our business, this may result in targets being set lower than for the prior year, which was the case for 2023 where the Committee assumed continued deterioration in global economic conditions during 2023.

2023 Strategic KPIs and ESG Goals and Annual Incentive Award Payouts
2023 Strategic KPIs and ESG Goals and Annual Incentive Award Payouts
Jonas Prising
The Committee determined that Mr. Prising did not earn a cash incentive award for 2023 for the EPS and ROIC performance goals as actual results for the year were below the threshold level. It determined Mr. Prising earned an award for the Revenue performance goal between the threshold and target levels as actual results were slightly above threshold. Additionally, the Committee approved an incentive award to Mr. Prising based on its determination of the level of performance towards achievement of his various Strategic KPIs and ESG Goals. Based on these results, the Committee determined the amount of the 2023 award to be paid to Mr. Prising to be $727,047. The following table illustrates Mr. Prising’s 2023 achievement of the performance targets in relation to the payment of his 2023 award:

Michelle S. Nettles
The Committee determined that Ms. Nettles did not earn a cash incentive award for 2023 for the EPS and ROIC performance goals as actual results for the year were below the threshold level. It determined Ms. Nettles did earn an award for the Revenue performance goal between the threshold and target levels as actual results were slightly above threshold. Additionally, the Committee approved an incentive award to Ms. Nettles based on its determination of the level of performance towards achievement of her various Strategic KPIs and ESG Goals. Based on these results, the Committee determined the amount of the 2023 award to be paid to Ms. Nettles to be $160,020. The following table illustrates Ms. Nettles’s 2023 achievement of the performance targets in relation to the payment of her 2023 award:

Components of the 2023 Executive Compensation Program — Long-Term Incentives
Components of the 2023 Executive Compensation Program — Long-Term Incentives Each year the Committee determines the appropriate mix of PSUs and RSUs that should comprise the long-term incentives for the NEOs. This flexibility allows the Committee to tailor its program to create the incentive structure that it believes will best align executive performance and the needs of the Company. The Committee determined for 2023 that the annual grant of long-term awards to the NEOs should be made up of 60% PSUs and 40% RSUs. The Committee generally determines and approves equity awards to the NEOs and the related vesting schedules, at its regularly scheduled meeting in February each year, and as required under the Committee’s charter, subject to ratification by the board of directors in the case of Mr. Prising and Mr. McGinnis. The equity awards and related vesting schedules for Messrs. McGinnis and Buchband and Ms. Nettles are generally based on recommendations by Mr. Prising. The Committee may make grants to NEOs at other times during the year, as it deems appropriate. The PSUs and RSUs awarded in 2023 have the characteristics below. The specific long-term incentive grants for each officer are shown in the Grants of Plan Based Awards table on page 55.
Performance Share Units
Performance Share Units For the PSUs granted in 2023, vesting is based on achievement of a pre-established goal for average annual EBITA Margin Percent, over a three-year period ending December 31, 2025. EBITA Margin Percent measures operating efficiency without the impact of amortization while continuing to focus executive officers on the long-term profitability of the Company. The Committee also included a KPI modifier that can increase or decrease the final PSU payout (which will be determined based on the EBITA margin for the performance period and the performance gate described below) by up to 30%, but not more than the outstanding award or less than the threshold award. Under this feature, the Committee established strategic growth objectives and will evaluate how
Performance Share Units

Performance Share Units
well management has performed against those pre-established strategic growth objectives during the three-year period of the PSUs. The number of shares earned will vest and be settled in common stock in February 2026, after the Committee determines the achievement of the performance goals and assesses the achievement of the strategic growth objectives. The specific strategic growth objectives are summarized below.
How the Company Sets EBITA Margin Percent Goals
| | THRESHOLD | TARGET | OUTSTANDING | | EBITA Margin Percent 2023-2025 | 1.00% | 3.80% | 4.10% | | Payout Percentage | 0.0% | 100.0% | 200.0% |
How the Company Sets EBITA Margin Percent Goals
Our business is historically cyclical and is impacted by numerous macroeconomic conditions. The Committee sets each year’s target levels at the beginning of the year, based on both macroeconomic factors and the Company’s business outlook for the coming year, and does so independently of where the target levels have been set for the prior year. Given the cyclical nature of our business, this may result in targets being set lower than for the prior year, which was the case for 2023 where the Committee assumed continued deterioration in global economic conditions during 2023. An EBITA “gate” was also established for the PSUs to ensure EBITA margins are achieved without significantly decreasing revenues. This gate was set at $636.0 million, meaning participants cannot receive more than 100% of the target level payout unless average EBITA for the 2023-2025 performance period exceeds $636.0 million. As mentioned above, the Committee included a KPI modifier to the final PSU payout that can increase or decrease the final PSU payout by up to 30%. At the end of the 3-year PSU vesting period, the Committee will assess the achievement of the strategic growth objectives and may increase or decrease the PSU payout percent (that was determined based on the EBITA Margin Percent for the performance period and the gate) by an amount up to 30% based on strategic growth objectives over the 3-year life of the award. The KPI modifier cannot decrease the payout below the threshold level nor increase the payout above the outstanding level. The following are the strategic growth objectives set by the Committee for 2023:
Shares Earned under the 2021 Annual PSU Grant
Shares Earned under the 2021 Annual PSU Grant As disclosed in previous years, in light of the uncertain environment in February 2021, the Committee departed from its customary use of a three-year performance period and instead used a one-year performance period, based on pre-established goals for OPMP for 2021, with a three-year holding period from the date of grant and application of the KPI modifier. Based on OPMP for the one-year period of 2021 of 2.97%, the Committee determined the 2021 Annual PSU Grant vested at the outstanding level before consideration of KPIs. The operating profit dollar gate was also reached. The Committee used negative discretion in applying the KPI modifier to reduce the final PSU payout to 195% of target. These shares were vested and were settled in common stock in February 2024, after the Committee determined the achievement of the performance goals. The number of shared earned for each of the NEOs is as follows:
Shares Earned under the 2021 Annual PSU Grant
| NEO | PSUs GRANTED AT TARGET(#) | PSUs EARNED(#) | | Jonas Prising | 64,872 | 126,500 | | John T. McGinnis | 19,462 | 37,951 | | Michelle S. Nettles | 6,488 | 12,652 | | Richard Buchband | 5,190 | 10,121 |
Restricted Stock Units
Restricted Stock Units The Committee uses RSUs to align the interests of the NEOs with long-term shareholder value and add balance to the compensation program as they provide both upside potential and downside risk. In addition, RSUs provide a retention incentive to the NEOs to remain with the Company through the vesting date. The RSUs have a three-year cliff vest.
Severance Agreements
Severance Agreements ManpowerGroup has entered into severance agreements (which include change of control benefits) with each of the NEOs. These severance agreements are more fully described on pages 62-63. The Committee believes that severance and change of control policies are necessary to attract and retain senior talent in a competitive market. The Committee also believes that these agreements benefit ManpowerGroup because they clarify the NEOs’ terms of employment and protect ManpowerGroup’s business during an acquisition. Furthermore, the Committee believes that change of control benefits, if structured appropriately, allow the NEOs to focus on their duties and responsibilities during an acquisition. The agreements do not provide for any tax gross up payments and require a double trigger in order for our NEOs to receive benefits following a change in control.
Tax Implications for NEOs
Tax Implications for NEOs The Committee generally seeks to structure compensation amounts and arrangements so that they do not result in penalties for the NEOs under the Internal Revenue Code. For example, Section 409A imposes substantial penalties and results in the loss of any tax deferral for nonqualified deferred compensation that does not meet the requirements of that section. The Committee has structured the elements of ManpowerGroup’s compensation program so that they are either not characterized as nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A or meet the distribution, timing and other requirements of Section 409A. Without these steps, certain elements of compensation could result in substantial tax liability for the NEOs. Section 280G and related provisions impose substantial excise taxes on so-called “excess parachute payments” payable to certain executives upon a change of control and results in the loss of the compensation deduction for such payments by the executive’s employer. The severance agreements with the NEOs limit the amount of the severance payment in the event that the severance payment will be subject to excise taxes imposed under Section 280G, but only where the after-tax amount received by the NEO would be greater than the after-tax amount without regard to such limitation.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in 2023
Nonqualified Savings Plan. Pursuant to the Nonqualified Savings Plan (the “NQSP Plan”), certain executives, including the NEOs, may defer a portion of their salary and incentive awards. Elections must be made by the executive officers before December 31 of the year prior to the year in which it will be earned. The executive officers are permitted to defer up to 50% of their salary and 50% of their annual incentive under the plan. Pursuant to the plan, the executive officers, as well as all other plan participants, may receive a matching contribution of 50% of the deferrals they have made during the year, up to a maximum of 6% of their annual compensation. The NQSP Plan permits the Company to provide an Enhanced Matching Contribution (“EMC”) to participants. The EMC can range from 0% to 50% on the employee’s first 6% of deferrals from the prior year. The EMC is in addition to the regular 50% match of a participant’s deferrals made (on the first 6% of employee deferrals). In 2023, ManpowerGroup did not make an EMC match to the NEOs who participated in the plan in 2022. The NQSP Plan also permits the Company to provide a Discretionary Profit-Sharing Contribution (“DPSC”) to participants. The DPSC is allocated by the Company, based on the participant’s prior year compensation. In 2023, ManpowerGroup made a 1.33% DPSC to the NEOs who participated in the plan in 2022. ManpowerGroup’s contributions to a participant’s account under the NQSP Plan (matching contributions, EMCs, and DPSCs) are not fully vested until a participant has at least three years of credited service with ManpowerGroup, with vesting occurring on a pro-rata basis during those three years. All the NEOs who participate in the plan were fully vested in their matching contributions, EMCs and DPSCs as of December 31, 2023.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS In accordance with our articles of incorporation and bylaws, a nominee will be elected as a director if the number of votes cast in favor of the election exceeds the number of votes cast against the election of that nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast. If the number of votes cast in favor of the election of a director is less than the number of votes cast against the election of the director, the director is required to tender his or her resignation from the board of directors to the governance and sustainability committee. The governance and sustainability committee will recommend to the board of directors whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation or whether other action should be taken. Any such resignation will be effective only upon its acceptance by the board of directors. The board of directors will act on the recommendation of the governance and sustainability committee and publicly disclose its decision, and the rationale behind its decision, within 90 days from the date of the announcement of the final results of balloting for the election.
