KELLY SERVICES, INC. 999 WEST BIG BEAVER ROAD TROY, MICHIGAN 48084-4782 April 12, 2002 PROXY STATEMENT 2002 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS This statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Kelly Services, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to be held at the corporate offices of the Company in Troy, Michigan on May 14, 2002 for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and enclosed form of proxy are first being sent to stockholders of the Company is April 12, 2002. If the enclosed form of proxy is executed and returned by the stockholder, it may nevertheless be revoked by the person giving it by written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company, by submitting a later dated proxy or appearing in person at the Meeting any time prior to the exercise of the powers conferred thereby. If a proxy in the accompanying form is properly executed, returned to the Company and not revoked, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with the instructions set forth thereon. If no instructions are given with respect to the matters to be acted upon, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted FOR the election of two Directors, designated Proposal 1 on the proxy, FOR the proposal to ratify the selection of independent accountants, designated Proposal 2 on the proxy, and on any other matters that properly come before the Annual Meeting in the manner as set forth on the proxy. Abstentions (but not broker non-votes) are counted for purposes of determining a quorum. However, abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast in the tabulation of votes on any matter submitted to stockholders. Stockholders on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held. At the close of business on March 25, 2002, the number of issued and outstanding voting securities (exclusive of treasury shares) was 3,491,113 shares of the Class B common stock, having a par value of $1.00. Class B common stock is the only class of the Company's securities with voting rights. The cost of soliciting proxies shall be borne by the Company. The solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail. The Company may also make arrangements with brokerage houses, custodians, banks, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward solicitation material to beneficial owners of stock held of record by them and to obtain authorization to execute proxies. The Company may reimburse such institutional holders for reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection therewith. 1

SECURITIES BENEFICIALLY OWNED BY PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT Under regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, persons who have power to vote or dispose of common stock of the Company, either alone or jointly with others, are deemed to be beneficial owners of the common stock. Set forth in the following table are the beneficial holdings on March 1, 2002, on the basis described above, of each person known by the Company to own beneficially more than five percent of the Class B common stock:

Number of Shares Percent Name and Address of and Nature of Of Beneficial Owners Beneficial Ownership(a)(b) Class(b) ------------------- -------------------------- -------- T. E. Adderley.............................................. 3,214,566(c)(d) 92.1 999 W. Big Beaver Road Troy, Michigan 48084 Bank One Corporation........................................ 2,382,709(e) 68.2 One First National Plaza Chicago, Illinois 60670
(a) Nature of beneficial ownership of securities is direct unless otherwise indicated by footnote. Beneficial ownership as shown in the table arises from sole voting power and sole investment power unless indicated by footnote. (b) Because Securities and Exchange Commission attribution rules require stock held in trust to be treated as beneficially held by each co-trustee sharing voting power for the stock, the numbers of shares and percentages shown total more than one hundred percent of the class. (c) Includes 952,100 shares directly held; 2,189,840 shares in the William R. Kelly Trust of which he is a co-trustee and has sole investment power and has shared voting power with Bank One Corporation, the other co-trustee; 71,825 shares in an irrevocable trust, of which he is beneficiary; 625 shares held in five separate trusts of which he is co-trustee with sole or shared voting and investment power, in which he has no equity interest; and 176 shares owned by Mr. Adderley's wife, in which he disclaims beneficial interest. (d) Because of the shares in the William R. Kelly Trust of which he is a co-trustee with Bank One Corporation and his own substantial stockholdings, Mr. Adderley may be deemed to be a "control person" of the Company under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. (e) Based upon a report filed by Bank One Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Schedule 13G and upon subsequent information received from Bank One Corporation upon which the Company relies for the information presented. The report indicates that the 2,382,709 shares of Class B common stock held by Bank One Corporation are categorized as follows with respect to voting power and dispositive power: Voting Power: sole voting power 108,782; shared voting power 2,262,290; limited voting power 11,637; Dispositive Power: sole dispositive power 11,637; shared dispositive power 2,371,072. 2

(c) See footnotes (c) and (d) to first table. Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. 3

BOARD OF DIRECTORS The business, property and affairs of the Company are managed by the Board of Directors, which establishes broad corporate policies and performance objectives but does not actively manage the day-to-day operations. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors are held in each quarter and special meetings are scheduled when required. The Board held four meetings during the last fiscal year. The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee, composed of M. A. Fay, C. V. Fricke, V. G. Istock and B. J. White, which held four meetings in 2001. The Audit Committee's purpose is to review the scope of the work and fees of the independent accountants and to review with the independent accountants their report or opinion on the Company's financial statements. The Compensation Committee, whose functions are described in the Compensation Committee Report on page 5 of this Proxy Statement, held six meetings in 2001 and is composed of M. A. Fay, C. V. Fricke, V. G. Istock and B. J. White. During 2001 the Board of Directors did not have a nominating committee. All of the Directors of the Company attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and committees on which each served. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Directors of the Company who are not salaried officers are paid an annual fee of $50,000 (consisting of a $25,000 cash retainer fee and a stock award worth $25,000), a fee of $1,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended and a fee of $800 for each meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors attended. The $25,000 stock award portion of the annual fee is made under the Non-Employee Director Stock Award Plan approved by the stockholders in 1995, as amended on May 14, 2001, from which each non-officer Director receives an annual grant of shares of the Company's Class A common stock equal in value to the Director's annual cash retainer fee. On May 10, 1999, the stockholders approved the adoption of the Kelly Services, Inc. 1999 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan, under which the Board of Directors from time to time may make discretionary grants of options to purchase shares of Class A common stock to non-employee directors. In 2001, the Board granted to each non-employee director an option to purchase 1,500 shares of Class A common stock at the Fair Market Value of the stock on the day of the grants. Each of these 10-year options vests in thirds on the first day of January of each of the three years immediately following the grant. 4

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT COVERING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Company's compensation program for executives is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of B. J. White (Chair), M. A. Fay, C. V. Fricke, and V. G. Istock, each of whom is an independent director. The Committee has responsibility for review and final approval of all adjustments in salary and short-term incentive awards for executives of the Company, including, with respect to 2001, administering the Kelly Services, Inc. Short-Term Incentive Plan. The Committee also administers the Kelly Services, Inc. Performance Incentive Plan (the Company's long-term incentive plan) and makes recommendations with respect to granting awards under such Plan subject to review and approval by a majority of the full complement of those members of the Board of Directors who are "disinterested persons" as that term is used in Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. COMPENSATION PRINCIPLES The philosophy underlying the Company's executive compensation program has the following goals: (a) to align key executive and management employees with the Company's strategic and financial objectives; (b) to attract and retain a management team of high quality; (c) to create incentives which motivate employees to achieve continual growth and increasing profitability of the Company; and (d) to promote appreciation of the common interests of stockholders, executives, and key management employees. Total compensation is directly related to the successful achievement of the Company's performance objectives. Short-term objectives are established on an annual basis, the achievement of which is rewarded annually. Long-term objectives are linked to a two-to-five-year performance period, the achievement of which will be rewarded accordingly. All compensation, other than stock options and restricted stock awards, whether in the form of salary, short-term incentive awards, grants of performance shares, or cash equivalents, are based on successful accomplishment of periodically established objectives reflecting the Company's business and financial goals. Performance objectives, which are identified as short or long-term, provide standards for the measurement of Company and unit performance. Some performance objectives are Company-wide; others will vary, depending on individual responsibilities, groups of employees, or particular projects and plans. The Company ordinarily seeks to provide performance-based compensation that allows for maximum deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. However, tax deductibility is only one of many factors that must be considered in any final decision regarding executive compensation. In order to best serve the Company and the interests of its stockholders, the Company may determine that payment of non-deductible compensation is necessary and appropriate to provide awards consistent with the overall philosophy and objectives of the compensation programs. The Company also seeks to encourage substantial stock ownership by the Company's senior executives so as to align their interests more closely with the stockholders' interests. In order to do so, the Committee has approved share ownership guidelines as objectives to be worked toward by these executives. The guideline for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is ownership of shares having a value five times his base salary; for the President and Chief Operating Officer, the guideline is four and a 5

half times his base salary; for executive vice presidents, the guideline is four times base salary; and for senior vice presidents, the guideline is three times base salary. The following is a discussion of the major elements of the Company's executive compensation program along with a description of the decisions and actions taken by the Committee with regard to 2001 compensation of Mr. Adderley as the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. ANNUAL COMPENSATION Annual cash compensation for executive officers consists of base salaries and cash incentive bonuses. Base salaries for executive officers are targeted to be competitive with the marketplace, identified by national surveys of executive compensation in which the Company periodically participates and which are recognized as credible within the professional field of compensation management. Because the Company competes to recruit executive-level personnel from many industries and not just from the staffing industry, the companies included in the surveys referred to above are not the same as those included in the Peer Group Index used in this Proxy Statement for performance graph purposes. Base salaries are targeted to correspond generally with the median of the range of salaries in the surveys consulted. Competitive assessments include reviewing salary survey data of comparative companies, not necessarily in the staffing industry, and other relevant factors. Individual performance is also a factor in determining base salary. The Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the annual salary budget for all officers. In April 2001, Mr. Adderley received a 3.75 percent salary increase from $800,000 to $830,000 to bring his annualized base salary more in line with the median base salaries of chief executive officers of other companies of comparable size. All potential 2001 cash bonuses to executive officers (including Mr. Adderley) were subject to the terms of the Company's Short-Term Incentive Plan. In accordance with that plan, in the first quarter of 2001 the Committee established target and threshold goals relating to corporate diluted earnings per share and a payout schedule for each executive showing a range of potential bonus amounts the executive could receive under the plan, which depended on the extent to which the Company's actual 2001 diluted earnings per share met or exceeded the threshold. The entire potential bonus for Mr. Adderley and for the each other named executive officer was tied solely to this objectively determinable standard. The potential bonuses for other executive participants in the Plan were tied partially to this corporate earnings standard and partially to other performance goals, which also were established by the Committee in the first quarter of the year and were set in light of the particular functions and responsibilities of the individual executives. The Company's actual earnings per share for the year 2001 did not exceed the payout threshold the Committee had established for the year. After the end of the year, the Committee determined that, based on the schedule, no cash bonus would be approved for 2001 for Mr. Adderley or for any named executive officer and that no payment under the corporate performance portion of the Plan would be made for any other executive. Similarly, because the other performance goals taken into account for participants in the Plan were affected by the same factors that caused the overall corporate performance 6

to fall below the bonus threshold, the Committee decided that no regular bonus payments would be approved for 2001 for any executive in the Plan. LONG-TERM COMPENSATION The long-term incentive compensation for executive officers can consist of cash and stock-based awards made under the Company's Performance Incentive Plan. Non-Qualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, and, in the case of certain executives, Restricted Stock Awards, are currently the only type of awards outstanding under the Performance Incentive Plan. During 2001, there was a review of compensation components for chief executive officers in companies of similar size. As a result of that review, the Committee during 2001 recommended that Mr. Adderley be awarded a Non-Qualified Stock Option to purchase 45,000 shares of Class A common stock, in accordance with the parameters of competitive practice. The decision to grant stock options is considered periodically by the Committee during each year. Grants may be given to new hires, employees promoted to new positions, and other key managers and executives as deemed appropriate by the Committee. Grant size is determined based on a guideline of option shares for each management level that is generally competitive with the median level of grants awarded by companies of similar size. In 2001, Mr. Adderley and the other most senior officers of the Company were granted Restricted Shares of the Company's Class A common stock under the Company's Performance Incentive Plan. These Restricted Shares vest over a three year period. Mr. Adderley received two Restricted Share Awards totaling 22,500 shares. Since 2000 was the final year of the last Performance Share Award granted by the Committee, there were no Performance Share payments to anyone in 2001. No new Performance Share Awards were made in 2001. CONCLUSION The Committee believes that the Company's executive compensation program, providing as it does for competitive base salaries along with short and long-term incentive compensation opportunities, is an important factor in motivating executives as well as maintaining an appropriate focus on increasing stockholder value.

OPTION GRANTS IN 2001 The following table shows all grants of stock options to the officers named in the Summary Compensation Table above in 2001. The exercise price of all such options was the fair market value on the date of grant. One third (1/3) are exercisable one year after the grant date with an additional one third (1/3) exercisable on each of the next two anniversary dates. Upon exercise of an option, an officer purchases all or a portion of the shares covered by the option by paying the exercise price multiplied by the number of shares as to which the option is exercised, either in cash or by surrendering common shares already owned by the officer.

(1) Option type is either Incentive Stock Option (ISO) or Non-Qualified Stock Option (NQ). (2) The dollar amounts under the 5% and 10% columns in the table above are the result of calculations required by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and therefore are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation of the stock price of the Company. As shown in the 0% column above, no gain to the named officers or all employees is possible without appreciation in the price of the Company's common stock, which will benefit all stockholders. For example, with respect to the grants expiring on August 13, 2011, in order for any of the named officers to realize the potential values set forth in the 5% and 10% columns in the table above with respect to the exercise price of $25.60 (the fair market value on the date of the grant), the price per share of the Company's Class A common stock would be approximately $41.70 and $66.40, respectively, as of the expiration date of their options. 12
