18. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS
In recognition of the need to become more cost efficient and competitive along with enhancing the experience we provide to agents and customers, on July 30, 2020 the Company announced an operational transformation and cost reduction plan it refers to as Hartford Next. Hartford Next reduced annual insurance operating costs and other expenses through reduction of the Company's headcount, investment in information technology ("IT") to further enhance our capabilities, and other activities. The activities were substantially completed as of December 31, 2023.
Termination benefits related to workforce reductions and professional fees are included within restructuring and other costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company expects to incur additional costs including amortization of right of use assets and other lease exit costs, other IT costs to retire applications and other expenses. Total restructuring and other costs are expected to be approximately $127, before tax, and will be recognized in the Corporate category and not allocated to the reportable segments.
