12. Restructuring Charges

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, management approved a restructuring plan to redirect resources to highest return activities and reduce costs. As a result, we recorded restructuring charges in the third quarter comprised of employee severance-related expenses. This plan reduced our global workforce by approximately 8% and activities under this plan are substantially complete.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we executed a restructuring plan to redirect resources to highest return activities, which included a reduction in our global workforce of approximately 1% and resulted in restructuring charges comprised primarily of employee severance-related costs. Activities under this plan are substantially complete.

In fiscal 2023, we also continued activities related to the establishment of an international headquarters in Cork, Ireland, which was initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, and incurred restructuring charges consisting primarily of severance-related costs and legal and tax-related professional fees. Substantially all activities under this plan are complete.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we executed a restructuring plan to reduce the amount of office space we occupied as we allow more employees to work remotely. In connection with the plan, we also reduced our global workforce by approximately 1%. Charges related to the plan consisted primarily of office relocation costs, lease termination fees, and employee severance-related costs. Substantially all activities under the plan had been completed by the end of fiscal 2022.

Management has previously approved several restructuring actions in fiscal 2021, under which we reduced our global workforce by approximately 6%. Charges related to these restructuring plans consisted primarily of employee severance-related costs. Substantially all activities under these plans were completed as of the end of fiscal 2021.

Activities related to our restructuring plans are summarized as follows (in millions):
