Restructuring Charges, Net | 7. Restructuring Charges, Net During fiscal 2016, the Company implemented a restructuring plan in order to rationalize its cost structure by eliminating redundant positions and consolidating office space due to the acquisition of Legacy Hay on December 1, 2015. This resulted in restructuring charges, net of $33.0 million in fiscal 2016, of which $32.1 million related to severance and $0.9 million, related to consolidation/abandonment of premises. The Company continued the implementation of the fiscal 2016 restructuring plan in fiscal 2017 in order to integrate the Hay Group entities that were acquired in fiscal 2016 by eliminating redundant positions and operational, general and administrative expenses and consolidating premises. This resulted in restructuring charges of $34.6 million in fiscal 2017 of which $16.0 million related to severance and $18.6 million related to consolidation of premises. During fiscal 2015, the Company took actions to rationalize its cost structure as a result of efficiencies obtained from prior year technology investments that enabled further integration of the legacy business and the recent acquisitions (PDI and Global Novations, LLC) as well as other cost saving initiatives. This resulted in restructuring charges, net of $9.5 million against operations in fiscal 2015, of which $9.2 million related to severance and $0.3 million, related to consolidation/abandonment of premises.
