| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block] | Because a majority of total compensation provided to the PEO and the average paid to the Non-PEO NEOs is via equity-based grants that vest over multi-year periods, the primary driver of changes in “Compensation Actually Paid” totals for the PEO and the average for the Non-PEO NEOs is the change in the Company’s stock price. | |||
| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure [Text Block] | As discussed in other sections of this proxy statement, in November 2022, the Compensation Committee decided to accelerate equity grants to officers that otherwise were expected to be made in the first quarter of 2023. The grant date and year-end 2022 fair values of these November 2022 grants have a significant impact on both the Summary Compensation Total and Compensation Actually Paid. The chart below shows 2022 Officer Compensation (SCT and CAP values) both as reported and excluding the impact of equity grants made in November 2022. | |||
| Tabular List [Table Text Block] | Most Important Financial Measures Related To 2022 Officer Compensation As discussed in the CD&A, the annual short-term incentive plan used revenue growth (constant currency) as the primary financial measure for 2022.
