Michael Pack, Executive Vice President and President of the Vocational Segment at Oshkosh Corporation, spoke at a May 2022 FEI Chapter Meeting alongside Tina Seashore. During the presentation, Pack described Oshkosh as being "back in growth mode" with "tremendous demand" in its businesses, noting the company had roughly $7.7 billion in revenue the prior year and guidance in the "low 8 billion range." He stated that the company had nearly 15,000 team members across 24 countries and 130 locations. Pack highlighted Oshkosh's recognition as a seven-time World's Most Ethical Company and its inclusion on Fortune's Most Admired Companies list and the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. Pack discussed the partnership between finance and HR, saying that if the company cannot "attract and retain the right level of talent," it cannot accomplish its mission. He described initiatives such as financial acumen training that began with HR and later broadened to other areas, stating that sharing financial information beyond finance is "critical for the success of the organization." Pack also noted that Oshkosh added diversity goals with "meaningful metrics" tied to incentive compensation for leaders. He said that during the pandemic, the company implemented pay reductions and furloughs but did not cut benefits or stop the 401k match, and that the board approved an incentive compensation payout below threshold after management presented a "compelling story" of its actions.
