Restructuring Programs Restructuring Programs
We engage in restructuring actions, including Project Own It, as well as other transformation efforts in order to reduce our cost structure and realign it to the changing nature of our business and to achieve operating efficiencies through a number of opportunities, including reduction of our real estate footprint.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net restructuring and asset impairment charges of $47, which included $57 of severance costs related to headcount reductions of approximately 1,100 employees worldwide, $2 of other contractual termination costs and $6 of asset impairment charges. These costs were partially offset by $18 of net reversals, primarily resulting from changes in estimated reserves from prior period initiatives.
Information related to restructuring program activity is outlined below:
