Personnel Reductions |
- After thorough streamlining via readjusting the group structure and drastic operational efficiency improvement, we will reduce the number of persons by cutting back on hiring and implementing voluntary retirements ahead of schedule (approx. 7,400 employees on a consolidated basis, approx. 3,600 employees on a non-consolidated basis)
- To further enhance management rationalization, we implemented a volantary retirement program in the scale of 1,000 personnel in FY 2014, targeting employees over 50-year-old.
