57% of HR leaders expect layoffs in the next 12 months.
9 in 10 employees still feel their jobs are secure.

That disconnect is shaping the future of work & why job security now means skill security.

Join me Jan 28 to explore what workforce resilience looks like in the AI era: lnkd.in/e4h6AfhM

As we bid 2025 farewell, I want to acknowledge how tough it's been for so many.

Job loss. Job insecurity. Carrying uncertainty. Leaving unhealthy workplaces.

If that was you, remember: you survived it. And that MATTERS

Here’s hoping for steadier ground, new opportunities and better days ahead. 🤍

Layoffs are hard.

But miscommunication during the process makes them much worse for everyone involved.

That why on Dec 9, Careerminds is hosting a panel on how HR leaders can get ahead of layoff rumors and protect trust, culture, and brand.
