  • regularly review organizational structure, headcount and turnover, employee wellbeing, and inclusion and diversity;
  • regularly review with the President and CEO his plans for the structure, development and succession of the Finning leadership team;
  • ensure a broad plan of executive compensation is established that is competitive and motivating to attract, retain and inspire executive management and other key employees, while taking into account the overall cost of compensation of the executive management and the interests of shareholders; and
