job retention
Keeping your position
Job retention is the practice of keeping employees in their positions rather than letting them go.
The term appears most often in policy contexts, where governments offer incentives or subsidies to help businesses avoid layoffs during economic downturns: The stimulus package included job retention credits for small businesses.
It can also describe an individual's ability to hold onto employment: Her job retention has been impressive despite industry upheaval.
