Restructuring Costs [Abstract] |
Restructuring Costs | 13. RESTRUCTURING COSTS Enhanced Customer Support Model In fiscal year 2021, the Company announced an enhanced customer support model, including a transition from the branch office network to virtual customer care hubs. Along with this transition, the Company closed 73 branch offices and realigned certain existing locations from branch offices to regional inventory centers. Restructuring costs for fiscal year 2021 consist of impairment charges for operating lease assets, net of gains related to settlement of lease liabilities, associate severance and separation costs, and other exit-related costs. Optimization of Company Operations Beginning in fiscal year 2019, the Company identified opportunities for improvements in its workforce realignment, strategy and staffing, and increased its focus on performance management, to ensure it has the right skillsets and number of associates to execute its long-term vision. Beginning in fiscal year 2020, the Company engaged consultants to assist in reviewing the optimization of the Company’s operations. As such, the Company extended voluntary and involuntary severance and separation benefits to certain associates in fiscal years 2019 through 2021 in order to facilitate its workforce realignment. The following table summarizes restructuring and other related costs:
