According to the announcement, from next month, Aoyama Trading will solicit voluntary retirement of about 400 people, which is about 10% of the number of full-time employees.
As of the end of March next year, the target is full-time employees who are between 40 and 63 years old and who have been working for 5 years or more and employees who have a permanent contract.
Aoyama Trading Co., Ltd. announced on the 10th that the demand for suits is declining due to the increase in telecommuting due to the influence of the new coronavirus, and the financial results of the entire group for the half year until September are final. Business performance is declining, with profits and losses reaching a record high of over 16.9 billion yen.
Aoyama Trading intends to hurry to rebuild its business by reducing the number of employees this time, improving management efficiency by closing unprofitable stores, and focusing on online shopping.
