TRAINING POLICY [G4-LA9] [G4-LA10] [G4-LA11] [G4-DMA Training and education]

5.1.6

Such classification allows the Group to ensure the internal equity of remuneration packages; moreover, Technicolor participates to relevant salary surveys to assess the competitiveness of remuneration in the proper marketplaces. This provides Technicolor with sustainable, objective and equitable means of remunerating employees while closely controlling its wage bill. The total remuneration policy is structured around flexible and competitive fixed and variable compensation elements driven by market best practices and the Group’s objectives for long-term value creation appropriate to circumstances and goals: competitiveness: appropriate market benchmarks of total ■ compensation against comparable companies allow Technicolor to offer competitive compensation packages to employees in accordance with competitive pressures in the marketplace. This ensures that Technicolor continues to attract, motivate and retain high potentials and key contributors for which Technicolor competes in an international market place while controlling cost structures; equitable approach: Technicolor believes that it remunerates its ■ employees on an equitable basis in each of its geographical locations both in line with local standards and proposed corporate programs. The remuneration policy is set according to the Group’s “broadbanding policy” which allows consistent assessment of responsibility, contribution and levels of expertise on an international business basis across all businesses and functions. In addition, the remuneration policy of top executives is managed by Corporate Human Resources to facilitate consistency of various remuneration components and ease international and cross-business mobility; business and skills focus: the remuneration of professionals, ■ engineers and managers is a sound, market-driven policy and ultimately administered to stimulate business performance. A substantial part of the total remuneration package is composed of variable elements which drive a performance culture and support the Company’s strategy. These variable elements are meant to stimulate, recognize and reward not only individual contribution, especially innovation and risk-taking, but also and in particular, solid and consistent Group and divisions performances. In accordance with the principles and rules established by the Group, each Group entity is entitled to recognize the potential and encourage the development of its employees by means of various remuneration factors defined by the Group. At constant currency rate exchange (end 2017) and at constant population of employees (all employees present both in 2016 and in 2017), the evolution of the base salary payroll mass (without variable elements and social contributions paid by the employer) between 2016 and 2017 increased by 4.12%.
