Restructuring
From time to time, the Company will incur costs related to restructuring actions in order to optimize our cost base and more strategically position itself. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred restructuring charges of $6 million. We incurred these charges primarily as a continuation of our efforts to reposition our European and North American businesses to optimize our cost structure and improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness.The charges included the reduction of headcount across all segments.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized restructuring charges of $3 million and $8 million, respectively, of which $2 million and $6 million relate to actions previously announced in 2020. These charges included reduction of headcount across all segments and asset impairments within our Measurement & Control Solutions segment.
The following table presents the components of restructuring expense and asset impairment charges:
