9. Restructuring Activities

The Company initiated its global restructuring and business transformation plan in North America and Asia Pacific (the “North America and APAC Plan”) in March 2020 and in Europe (the “European Plan”) in September 2020. Both the North America and APAC Plan and the European Plan consist of two key components: (i) an effort to streamline the management and organizational structure and eliminate certain positions as well as exit certain markets to focus on core solution offerings and core high growth clients; and (ii) a strategic rationalization of the Company’s physical geographic footprint and real estate spend to focus investment dollars in high growth core markets for greater impact. In connection with the execution of the European Plan, the Company changed its internal management structure and its reporting structure of financial information used to assess performance and allocate resources during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company revised its operating segments accordingly effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, resulting in a change to the Company’s reportable segments into RGP and Other Segments. All of the employee termination and facility exit costs associated with the Company’s restructuring initiatives are within its RGP segment, and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. See further

discussion about the Company’s segment position in Note 12 – Segment Information.
