Key Performance Indicators
In 2011, Resolute Forest Products began developing a set of metrics to help the company meet operating requirements, including statistics on overtime, absenteeism, recruitment, retention and performance. These metrics were used to develop a long-term strategy focused on succession planning, leadership development programs, cross-functional collaboration, and learning and growth opportunities.
Resolute is committed to continuously developing our understanding of the attraction and retention challenges faced in each of our operating regions, and to implementing new leadership and human resource practices to create an inclusive workplace that attracts, retains and engages a diverse workforce. We regularly report on employee hires and turnover, carefully tracking any variation from year to year.

Employees by Age, Gender and Location
As specified in Resolute’s Code of Business Conduct, the company is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all qualified persons without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, disability or handicap, gender, pregnancy, age or any other basis prohibited by law. It is also Resolute’s policy to take affirmative action in employment as required by applicable legislation. All personnel decisions, including recruitment, hiring, compensation, promotion, transfer, dismissal, recall and selection for training, are made solely on the basis of job-related criteria and, when applicable, in accordance with collective bargaining agreements.
In 2021, while we were a public company, Resolute adopted a board-level
diversity policy requiring a minimum of 25% representation of each gender (ie.
male and female) on its board of directors as well as an executive leadership
level diversity policy that acknowledges diversity as a key factor in the
company’s talent management strategy. We are
striving to increase women’s representation on the board to 30% by 2024.
The following graphs show the age and gender of employees across all of our operating locations for the 2019 to 2022, as well as demographic information for members of Resolute's board of directors, executive team and middle management.
