10. Restructuring Charges, Net

There were no restructuring charges in the three months ended July 31, 2021. On April 20, 2020, in light of the continuing uncertainty in worldwide economic conditions caused by COVID-19 and, as part of a broader program aimed at further enhancing Korn Ferry’s strong balance sheet and liquidity position, the Company adopted a restructuring plan intended to adjust its cost base to the then-current economic environment and to position the Company to invest into its recovery. The Company continued the implementation of this plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and this resulted in restructuring charges, net of $27.5 million in the three months ended July 31, 2020 across all lines of business relating to severance for positions that were eliminated.
