COVID-19 Restructuring Plan
On March 3, 2020, COVID-19 was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 has significantly impacted the global economy and is expected to adversely impact our operational and financial performance. The extent of the adverse impact of the pandemic on the global economy and markets will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the measures taken to limit the spread of the virus and, in part, on the size and effectiveness of the compensating measures taken by governments. We are closely monitoring the potential effects and impact on our operations, businesses and financial performance, including liquidity and capital usage, though the extent of the impact is difficult to fully predict at this time due to the rapid evolution of this uncertain situation.
On April 29, 2020, our Board approved a restructuring plan that will impact our global workforce and execute a significant reduction in our real estate footprint around the world. The estimated total cost of the plan is expected to be in the range of $80 million to $100 million and the plan is expected to be implemented over the next six to twelve months.
The Company has made a strategic decision to move towards a significant work from home (WFH) model. As a result of COVID-19, more than 95% of our employees are currently WFH, and we are now making plans for the future return to office strategy for our nearly 15,000 employees. We currently have approximately 120 offices around the world, and our intent, over time, is to make a significant reduction in the number of offices, anticipated to be over 50% of our global offices impacting approximately 15% of our employees. Based upon our plan, we estimate that this transition can be executed over the next six to twelve months. Management has estimated cost of this restructuring to be in the range of $65 million to $80 million, including the write-off of ROU assets relating to leases, the write-off of leases and fixed assets and other related costs.
We have also approved and begun executing an employee rationalization program across various departments in order to further reduce our cost base in light of the anticipated adverse effects and impact of COVID-19. We estimate severance costs to be in the range of $15 million to $20 million.
