|---|---|---|
| 10-K for 2023 | 20,101 full-time equivalent employees | December 31, 2023 |

Job cuts, severance and restructuring
Salaries and employee benefits expense rose in 2023 partly due to an increase in severance costs in the second half of the year.
“Salaries and employee benefits increased during 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to increases in base salaries, higher benefit expenses, and, to a lesser degree, an increase in severance costs in the second half of the year.” 10-K for 2023
Severance costs were lower in 2025 than in 2024, partly offsetting higher salaries and employee benefits expense. No specific layoff program or dollar amount is given.
“Partially offsetting these increases were lower severance costs in 2025 as compared to 2024.” 10-K for 2025
Regions Financial has filed no restructuring notice (Form 8-K, Item 2.05) since 2016. Companies file one only for a cut they judge material, so many announced layoffs never appear as one. This page shows what the company reported to the SEC, not news reports or state layoff notices.
