Organizational Efficiency Plan

Note 6 Organizational Efficiency Plan

 

The Company is regularly evaluating ways to deliver its products and services more efficiently and at a lower cost. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company committed to a plan to increase its organizational efficiency and reduce costs through a series of actions including employee headcount reductions. As a result, the Company recognized a charge in other operating expenses of $60 million pre-tax ($40 million after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2013, primarily for severance costs. As of December 31, 2015, the remaining balance associated with this plan was not material.
