Document background
The transition to remote working arrangements has introduced new challenges and risks for organizations operating in India. The Remote Working Risk Assessment is designed to help organizations systematically evaluate and address these risks while ensuring compliance with Indian regulatory requirements. This document becomes essential when implementing or reviewing remote working policies, during organizational changes, or when adapting to new regulatory requirements. It covers crucial aspects including workplace safety, data security, employee wellbeing, and operational efficiency, providing a structured approach to risk identification and mitigation. The assessment is particularly relevant in light of recent legislative changes in India affecting workplace safety, data protection, and labor relations, and helps organizations maintain their duty of care towards remote workers while protecting business interests.
