In human resources, career cushioning refers to employees who discreetly upskill and network as a contingency plan in the event of job loss.[1][2]
Career cushioning may involved getting certifications, expanding professional networks, updating resumes and profiles, and discretely applying to alternative jobs.[1][3] The proactive approach provides a sense of security during uncertain economic times.[4][1][5] Employers can combat career cushioning by improving their market competitiveness.[6]
The term came to prominence in 2022 following the COVID-19 pandemic layoffs and stems from cushioning in dating, where partners have a backup plan and cushioning a fall.[7][8][9]
