What does Job cuffing means in HR:

Job cuffing is a trend in which employees decide to "wait out" the autumn-winter period in their current workplace, postponing the search for a new position until spring. Similarly to personal life (cuffing season), people seek stability during the colder months.

This often results from lower recruitment activity in this period, the desire to avoid the stress of changing jobs around the holidays, and a natural tendency to seek security during a time with less sunlight and energy.

For employers, this means a potential rise in resignations in the spring, which is why it's worth focusing on motivation and team engagement during the winter so that top employees don't leave when warmer days arrive.
