Moreover, the urgency of these problems is increasing in the conditions of economic stabilization and the outlook for development, when the degree of certainty and predictability of external factors is increasing, as well as the relative influence of internal organizational factors, among which the most important factors are related to the quality of personnel and the effectiveness of the personnel management system of the organization. Exactly these factors in modern conditions predetermine the success of achieving the strategic goals of the organization, but at the same time determine the emergence of human resources risks, which, in the opinion of experts, is defining the form of risk in the organization.
