Item 5.02

Election of Directors.

On August 7, 2026, ManpowerGroup Inc. (the “Company”) appointed John B. Gibson, Jr. to its Board of Directors, with service to begin on September 1, 2026. The size of the Company’s Board of Directors will increase from ten to eleven directors in connection with the appointment of Mr. Gibson. Mr. Gibson will serve as a member of the People, Culture, and Compensation Committee. Mr. Gibson is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Paychex, Inc.

As a non-employee director of the Company, Mr. Gibson will participate in the same compensation arrangement as the other non-employee directors of the Company, as described in Exhibits 10.5(a) and 10.5(b) of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Under this compensation arrangement, non-employee directors receive (1) an annual cash retainer equal to $120,000 (or, if elected by the director, deferred stock in lieu of all or a portion of the cash retainer), and (2) an annual grant of deferred stock with a grant date fair value of approximately $180,000 (or, if elected by the director, a grant of restricted stock). Mr. Gibson will receive a prorated retainer and annual grant in connection with his service in 2026. Mr. Gibson will also be entitled to receive reimbursement for travel expenses incurred in connection with attending Board of Directors and Committee meetings.

There are no family relationships between Mr. Gibson and any director or executive officer of the Company, and no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Gibson and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director. Since January 1, 2025, there have been no transactions, and there are no currently proposed transactions, to which the Company was or is a participant and in which Mr. Gibson had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The Company will also enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Gibson, which will be in substantially the same form as the indemnification agreements entered into by the Company with each of the Company’s other outside directors. A copy of the indemnification agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 31, 2006 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The press release issued by the Company announcing the appointment of Mr. Gibson is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
