employment security
Protected workplace standing
Employment security is the degree to which a job is protected from termination or layoff.
It encompasses legal protections, union agreements, and institutional policies that make it difficult for employers to dismiss workers without cause.
Government jobs traditionally offer greater employment security than private sector positions.
The term often appears in discussions of labor policy and economic stability.
