Severance and Other Charges

During 2015, we executed a workforce reduction plan as part of our cost savings initiatives due to depressed oil prices. The reduction was communicated to affected employees on various dates. The plan resulted in a reduction of approximately 600 to 800 employees in which we recorded an accrual of approximately $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which included cash severance payments, accelerated vesting of RSU grants for certain individuals and other employee-related termination costs as well as base rationalization and lease termination fees. These costs are also reflected in our consolidated statements of income under severance and other charges. Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balance (in thousands):
