Revised September 2025

Purpose

The purpose of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) is to assist the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Kelly Services, Inc. (the “Company”) in identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board; recommending to the Board the nominees for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders or for appointment to fill vacancies and newly created directorships; making recommendations to the Board concerning the size, composition and leadership structure of the Board and its committees; organizing and overseeing the annual evaluation of Board and committee effectiveness; periodically reviewing CEO, and Board and Committee succession plans; developing and overseeing compliance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles; overseeing and periodically reporting to the Board on matters concerning the Company’s Corporate Sustainability Strategy, including corporate responsibility, environmental, social, and governance initiatives, and sustainability performance; and advising and making recommendations to the Board with respect to corporate governance matters generally.

Organization, Authority, and Resources

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Committee, shall appoint annually no fewer than three of its members to serve as members of the Committee and shall designate the Chair of the Committee from among the members of the Committee. All members of the Committee shall meet the independence requirements set forth in the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) listing standards and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Members of the Committee shall serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified or their earlier resignation or removal. The Board may remove or replace any member of the Committee at any time with or without cause.

The Committee may request any officer or employee of the Company or the Company’s outside counsel to attend a committee meeting or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to retain and terminate any search firm used to identify director candidates and have sole authority to approve the fees payable to such search firm and any other terms of retention. The Committee shall have similar authority to retain and terminate any legal or specialized consultant used in the review and evaluation of matters relative to governance. The Company must provide appropriate funding for the payment of reasonable compensation, as determined by the Committee, to retain advisors.

Procedural Matters

The Committee shall meet at such times as the Committee shall consider appropriate to fulfill its duties, but not less frequently than four times a year. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and a vote of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall constitute the action of the Committee. Annually, the Committee will establish a calendar of agenda topics to be discussed during the year (to the extent these can be foreseen).

The Committee will keep a record of its meetings and report on them to the Board of Directors. The Committee may meet by telephone or virtually and may act by unanimous written consent in lieu of meeting.

The Committee may delegate any of its responsibilities to its Chair or a subcommittee comprised of one or more members of the Committee in each case as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that the Committee shall not delegate any power or authority required by law, regulation or listing standard to be exercised by the Committee as a whole.
