The article describes a comprehensive study of the factors and risks of remote work of employees of organizations, reveals the concept of "remote work", pays attention to the consolidation of remote work in the legal field. The authors provide statistical and analytical data substantiating that remote work is an integral characteristic of the modern world of work and its role is only increasing over time, since remote work is a new digital paradigm of labor relations. Along with the positive aspects of remote staff work, the authors have identified a range of its problems. Objective and subjective factors, as well as factors influencing staff adaptation to remote work, are shown. Among the most important determinants of personnel adaptation to remote work, technological, professional, organizational, hygienic, temporary, and other factors are described. It is emphasized that creating conditions for active independent work increases the chances of staff confidently adapting to remote work. As part of an empirical study, the authors decompose the risks of remote work of personnel, which makes it possible to conclude that all risks are determined by critical threats to technical, technological and information security. The authors substantiate the conclusion that in order to manage risks, it is necessary to invest in digital technologies, data protection systems, operational communications, create conditions for information security, continuously develop the latest technologies for operational risk management and further development of flexible forms of employment.
