Job cuffing
In human resources, job cuffing refers to the reluctance of employees to leave an employer, typically due to economic uncertainty.[1][2] Job cuffing typically occurs in the winter in the hopes that employment prospects will improve in the spring.[3][4] Remote employees are less resistant to return to the office during job cuffing.[5]
Job cuffing can negatively impact productivity as disengaged employees continue to work while waiting to resume the job search.[6] Employers can counter job cuffing by improving their employee value proposition.[6][7]
The term stems from cuffing season and being handcuffed to one's job.[8][9]
