I would,
But also I would be asking the question at interview
how did they treat there staff during furlough,
were they communicated with regularly,
and how many staff in total were furloughed
True answers will be for 90% of companies as follows, but they wont say this!
Crap we were going to lay them all off
No, we sent two letters in 12 weeks.
70% and we still made money!

Interesting to know the answers as an interviewer or manager but tells you nothing about the person in front of you. But also I would be asking the question at interview

If you have been furloughed you are still employed so your CV should look no different to how it normally would. Even if you know you are not returning after furlough your contractual end date is not until furlough ends. Why would you suddenly declare you have been on furlough on a CV when your employment contractual obligation hasn’t changed?

Why would you care one jot how a company had treated employees? What bearing would it have on a recruitment decision that is in front of you? But also I would be asking the question at interview

I'm on Furlough at the moment and sent out my CV for various key worker supermarket jobs (Iceland, Tesco, Aldi).
On my CV I've put my current job as ending March 2020. I think if it gets to interview stage I can give them the details of the furlough and likelihood of redundancy later this summer.

Thanks everyone. I’m confident the correct approach is to make no unnecessary reference to furlough.
Is the correct answer.You were still employed. You don’t put when you went on holiday.
I expect it will come up in interview though. Have some good examples of proactivity ready, rather than ‘stayed in bed alternating between masturbation and Netflix.’

Should furlough leave be included on a CV?
A great CV should show, for each role highlighted:Edited by AudiMan9000 on Saturday 6th June 08:31
- Employer
- Role
- Period in that role
- Impact made (and ideally, linked to the outcomes required in the new role one is applying for)
Therefore, if being furloughed is not a factor in any of the above, then it could be seen as superfluous in a CV. It could however form a legitimate question at interview (Mr Jones; have you been furloughed at any time?).
Hope that adds value

This would be my stance. You don't declare periods of sickness or holidays on your CV, so why furlough? You are still in continuous employment with the company so it's just the dates you start and leave that count.If asked during an interview then of course confirm it, but I can't see that it would reflect badly on the individual. It's a government response to a global pandemic, not a performance review.
I've just returned to work from furlough to the news that quarter of the workforce is going to be made redundant.
So obviously there is lots of CV updating going on! I won't be detailing any periods of furlough on mine.
The dates on my current job section of my CV are the start date till "Present" with no gaps.
If I get selected and made redundant on my CV I will put down the date of my last day of official employment. Regardless of whether I work it or get put on gardening leave.

Shows there mindset when times get tough,Are they battening down the hatches and looking after themselves or do they see it as an opportunity?
Also shows there management style and how weak/strong they are?
Also I would not mention Furlough on CV and deal with it when asked.
