Available in E-version instant delivery version and in traditional print format sent in regular post

The Point: Our jobs are linked to the larger economy, and the last year there have been a lot of bumps in the road. The result is that more people are being laid-off or otherwise losing their jobs. The reality is that the only security any of us has is that which we create ourselves.

There's a lot of good material on job searches and other layoff related topics to help you get through if you are unfortunate enough to be laid-off or downsized. As usual we help you from a different angle. We believe that what you do while you have a job is what is going to determine whether you spiral downward when laid-off or prosper. If you plan properly, it's possible to end up better off after a layoff than before.

This helpcard (a quick learning double sided card) maps out the areas you need to attend to to be "ready" if you lose your job. By having things in place beforehand, you can almost breeze through the experience.

What's In It: Written by workplace expert and author Robert Bacal, Layoff Proofing While You Still Have a Job explains what you should be doing to protect your finances, health and sanity by preparing. Not only do these sound principles apply to job loss but if you heed the advice, you will also be well positioned for a happy retirement.

• What's Layoff Proofing
