| 2024 Transformation Initiative | 2024 Transformation Initiative On March 27, 2024, we announced the 2024 Transformation Initiative intended to improve our focus on growth and reduce our structural cost base by reorganizing into three new business segments, making the corporate and regional overhead cost structures more efficient and optimizing our global supply chain. The transformation is expected to impact our organization in all major geographies, and workforce reductions are expected to be in the range of 4 percent to 5 percent. Certain actions under the transformation initiative are being finalized for implementation, and accounting for such actions will commence when the actions are authorized for execution. We expect to complete the transition to the new organizational structure by the end of 2024, and the transformation initiative is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, with total costs anticipated to be approximately $1.5 billion pre-tax. Cash costs are expected to be approximately half of that amount, primarily related to workforce reductions. Non-cash charges are primarily related to incremental depreciation and asset write-offs. The following charges were incurred in connection with the 2024 Transformation Initiative:
