Career cushioning refers to actions aimed at "securing" your career in case of layoff or the need to change jobs. This includes regularly updating your CV and LinkedIn profile, developing your professional network, attending industry events, and continuously upskilling.

It is a proactive stance based on being constantly ready for new opportunities, rather than panic-searching for a job only after losing one.

In today's dynamic world, it is a wise career-management strategy that provides a sense of control and security. For companies, awareness of this trend should be a signal that retaining talent requires ongoing care for their growth and satisfaction, so that they want to pursue their professional ambitions with you.
