The number of applicants for Mitsubishi Electric Corp.'s domestic voluntary retirement program is expected to total about 4,700, the company announced on Tuesday. This represents 5% of its consolidated domestic workforce. While performance remains strong -- with net profits for the fiscal year ending March 2026 projected to hit a record high for the third consecutive year -- the company aims to optimize its workforce composition, which is skewed toward older age groups.

The voluntary retirement program was announced for Mitsubishi Electric and its domestic group companies. The company expects to record approximately 100 billion yen in related expenses in the consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending in March.

For Mitsubishi Electric alone, the company conducted an open-ended campaign from Dec. 15 to Jan. 9, targeting regular employees aged 53 or older with at least three years of service, as well as those rehired after reaching retirement age. The 2,378 applicants will receive a special lump-sum payment in addition to their regular retirement benefits and are set to retire on March 15.
