Pay vs Performance Disclosure [Table] |  |  |
Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] | Pay Versus Performance As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following table provides information about the relationship between executive “Compensation Actually Paid” ​(as defined by SEC rules) and certain financial performance measures. Our Compensation Committee believes in linking executive pay to Company performance and heavily weights variable compensation to reward achievements against pre-established, quantifiable financial performance objectives and individual strategic performance objectives. With the majority of executive pay delivered as variable incentive compensation and in the form of equity-based awards that track our stock price performance over time, the value ultimately realized by our executives is directly tied to shareholder value creation. Please see the Compensation Discussion & Analysis sections of this Proxy Statement for more information regarding the decisions made by our Compensation Committee regarding CEO and NEO pay for performance alignment, and the compensation actually received by our NEOs, which differs from the amounts in the table set forth below. “Compensation Actually Paid”, calculated in accordance with SEC rules, requires several adjustments to the values of our vested and unvested equity awards based on year-end stock price, various accounting valuation assumptions and projected performance payout factors. As a result, the amounts in the table below do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned or paid to our NEOs, and the Compensation Committee did not consider these amounts when making its incentive compensation decisions.

Fair values of equity awards set forth in the table above are computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 as of the end of the respective fiscal year, other than fair values of equity awards that vest in the covered year, which are valued as of the applicable vesting date.

Fair values of equity awards set forth in the table above are computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 as of the end of the respective fiscal year, other than fair values of equity awards that vest in the covered year, which are valued as of the applicable vesting date. The aggregate change in actuarial present value of accumulated benefit under pension plans reflects the amount reported for the applicable year in the Summary Compensation Table. Service cost is calculated as the actuarial present value of benefits under all pension plans attributable to services rendered during the applicable fiscal year. Prior service cost is calculated as the entire cost of benefits granted (or credit for benefits reduced) in a plan amendment (or initiation) during the covered fiscal year that are attributable by the benefit formula to services rendered in periods prior to the applicable amendment. |  |

Tabular List [Table Text Block] | Our Most Important Performance Measures The following table sets forth an unranked list of the performance measures which we view as the “most important” measures for linking our NEOs’ compensation to short- and long-term Company performance. For more information on how our Compensation Committee uses these metrics to assess the performance of our NEOs and determines executive compensation within our pay-for-performance compensation framework, please see the Compensation Discussion & Analysis sections of this Proxy Statement starting on page 53.
​ | Performance Measure | ​ | ​ | ​ | Considerations | ​
​
​ | Non-GAAP Pro Forma ICP Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) | ​ | ​ | ​ | Used as the sole metric for our 3-year long-term Performance Share Unit (PSU) Awards, which account for the largest component of executive pay, this metric drives long-term value creation for our shareholders, as it considers capital allocation decisions as well as the importance of continual discipline in operating performance | ​
​
​ | Non-GAAP Pro Forma ICP Adjusted Revenue Growth | ​ | ​ | ​ | Used to determine 35% of annual short-term incentive pool funding for our NEOs, this metric strengthens the importance of growth and scale to our Company | ​
​
​ | Non-GAAP Pro Forma ICP Adjusted EBITA Margin | ​ | ​ | ​ | Used to determine 35% of annual short-term incentive pool funding for our NEOs, this metric draws focus on margin expansion driven by revenue growth, cost discipline and productivity | ​
