Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

Global Productivity Improvement Program – During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company initiated a company-wide, multi-year program, which consists of various restructuring related initiatives to redirect resources and spending to drive growth, identify cost savings and pricing opportunities through standardization and optimization, develop organizational and operating optimization, and reduce overall operational complexity across the Company. Since the announcement of the project and completion of the Company’s divestitures of GBL and GAC during the year ended September 30, 2019, the project focus includes the transitioning of the Company’s continuing operations in a post-divestiture environment and separation from Energizer TSAs and reverse TSAs. Refer to Note 2 – Divestitures and Note 18 – Related Party Transactions for further discussion of continuing involvement with Energizer. The initiative includes review of global processes and organization design and structures; headcount reductions and transfers; and rightsizing the Company’s shared operations and commercial business strategy in certain regions and local jurisdictions; among others. Total cumulative costs incurred associated with the project were $134.5 million as of January 3, 2021, with approximately $31.4 million forecasted in the foreseeable future. The project costs are anticipated to be incurred through the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.

Other Restructuring Activities – The Company may enter into small, less significant initiatives and restructuring related activities to reduce costs and improve margins throughout the organization. Individually these activities are not substantial and occur over a shorter time period (generally less than 12 months).
