Summary 

The character and conditions of work are constantly changing, new professions are emerging, the share of intellectual workers is growing. The development of technology creates favorable conditions for remote work. The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated these processes and made employment of people in this kind of form as a part of the work culture for the most organizations.

Georgia is no exception in this case. Since March 2020, work through remote platforms, has been successfully implemented and realized on the Georgian labor market, in those fields and areas where presence of the workers on the workplace was not a necessity. The quarantine regime has become a kind of motivator for each employer to think about the implanting of the remote model instead of the standard model of employment, not only in terms of Covid-19, but also in the post-pandemic period. It is important to study and evaluate the results of remote work mass practice. The paper identifies the needs for the introduction of the remote format, its advantages and difficulties, discusses the trends in the labor market during the Covid-19 pandemic and analyzes the prospects for their further spread and development.
