11. Restructuring and Other Charges

In May 2015, we initiated a realignment designed to drive efficiency, eliminate cost and redirect resources to our highest return activities, resulting in a reduction of our global workforce of approximately 3%, as well as other restructuring related activities. These activities were substantially completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Restructuring charges consisted primarily of employee severance-related costs.

Activities related to this plan are summarized as follows (in millions):
