 discussed below, evidence that our human capital management efforts have been successful. We focus on the following strategic human capital imperatives:

•Maintaining competitive compensation and benefit programs that reward and recognize employee performance;

•Fostering a strong culture that values diversity, equity, and inclusion; and

•we make annual grants of restricted stock to employees at various levels, including non-executive management, to foster a strong sense of ownership and align the interests of management with those of our stockholders.
