The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee oversees our strategies and policies related
to human capital management
6
During the past year, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee (LDCC) met with management and reviewed
matters that included our human resources programs, including review of certain workplace discrimination and harassment
reports, worker safety and workplace conditions, and diversity, equity, and inclusion matters, and feedback from shareholder
engagement. Workplace safety and our response to the COVID-19 pandemic have been significant topics of discussion and
oversight at those meetings since the onset of the pandemic
The LDCC oversees programs related to compensation for hourly employees, such as offering highly competitive compensation,
with an average starting wage of over $18 an hour; leading benefits, including 401k, up to 20 weeks family leave for birth parents,
and health insurance; and providing a positive, supportive work environment
The LDCC has overseen our safety report, "Delivered with Care," which details a 43% decrease in our lost time incident rate; our
companywide diversity, equity, and inclusion goals; and the expansion of our upskilling programs
The LDCC also oversees our programs supporting our ambition to be Earth's Best Employer. Amazon has identified and is
systematically addressing what we believe are the top 100 employee experience pain points, and we have committed to
undertake an independent racial equity audit for our nearly one million U.S. hourly employees
