Force majeure events as a factor encouraging the extensive distance employment at enterprises

Abstract

Subject. This article discusses the issues related to the distance employment of workers. Objectives. The article aims to highlight the issue of business transition to a distance operation option during force majeure events in the world economy. Methods. For the study, I used a statistical analysis. Results. The article offers certain recommendations to extend distance employment and presents two models for its development in the post-crisis environment. Conclusions. A widespread model of social and labor relations on the principle of distance-based cooperation and communication can be used extensively both in force majeure circumstances and during the normal functioning of economic systems. The proposed model of spatial allocation of economic resources would help maintain the resilience of enterprises to force majeure. However, this would involve changes in the behavioral patterns of workers.
