Growth in Benefits + Rewards Services accelerated and On-site Services margins improved, despite the inflationary backdrop. Net new business was strong, and retention was at an all-time high. Our balance sheet has also been strengthened significantly.

We accelerated the transformation of our food models through several organic and external investments while also actively managing our portfolio of activities. The transfer of P+L responsibility to regions and countries, fully effective from October 1, 2022, will simplify the organization.
