Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

2021 Actions

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company initiated a series of cost management actions designed to increase operational efficiencies within enterprise functions that provide centralized support to our operating units. The actions are designed to align expenses with current expectations for top-line growth.

Restructuring costs incurred in 2021 totaled $4.0 million and are recorded entirely in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings, as detailed below (in millions of dollars):


	Severance Costs





International	$	1.2
Corporate	2.8
Total	$	4.0

2020 Actions

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company took restructuring actions to align costs with expected revenues, position the organization to adopt a new operating model later in 2020 and to align the U.S. field office facilities footprint with a more technology-enabled service delivery methodology.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company took several restructuring actions with a goal to provide sustainable cost reductions as a result of the continuing COVID-19 demand disruption. The restructuring actions included involuntary terminations, a Voluntary Separation Plan ("VSP") and a Voluntary Retirement Plan ("VRP"). Employees were included in the VSP based on the functions that were being reorganized, and not by age or years of service. For the VRP, eligible employees were selected based on their age and years of service.

Restructuring costs incurred in 2020 totaled $12.8 million and were recorded entirely in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings, as detailed below (in millions of dollars):


	Lease Termination Costs		Severance Costs		Total

Professional & Industrial	$	3.5	$	2.5	$	6.0
Science, Engineering & Technology	0.5		0.1		0.6
