Real Estate and Other Repositioning Costs [Abstract] |
Real Estate and Other Repositioning Costs | Real Estate and Other Repositioning Costs In connection with our strategic initiatives, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, operating expenses included $57.8 million ($42.9 million after-tax) in the second quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting severance actions related to ongoing efficiency initiatives including strategic agency consolidation in our smaller international markets and the launch of our centralized production strategy. There were no real estate and other repositioning charges during the three months ended September 30, 2024. In connection with the transition to a flexible working environment, a hybrid model which allows for partial remote work, we took certain actions in the first quarter of 2023 to reduce and reposition our office lease portfolio. In the second quarter of 2023, as a result of our continuing efforts to increase efficiencies and relevant skill sets to meet client demands, we incurred severance charges and other exit costs associated with rebalancing our workforce and consolidating operations in certain markets. As a result, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, operating expenses included $191.5 million ($145.5 million after-tax), related to non-cash impairment charges for the operating lease right-of-use, or ROU, assets, severance charges, and other exit costs. There were no real estate and other repositioning charges during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Substantially all of the operating lease payments related to the ROU assets will be paid out over two years.
