The rise of remote work has transformed traditional workforce dynamics, introducing new challenges and opportunities in managing employee performance and building digital trust. This paper explores the integration of cybersecurity-conscious Human Resource Management (HRM) policies and the economics of remote work as strategic tools for enhancing productivity and organizational resilience. It examines the relevance of performance management theories in remote settings and highlights the role of digital trust in influencing employee behavior and collaboration. Emphasis is placed on designing HRM frameworks that embed cybersecurity awareness, ethical considerations, and legal compliance into employee onboarding, training, and daily operations. The study also investigates how organizations can align individual goals with broader objectives using technology-driven feedback systems, performance metrics, and secure communication platforms. The economics of remote work is addressed through cost-benefit analyses, productivity measurement, and talent retention strategies. Strategic collaboration between HR and IT departments is identified as crucial for effective policy implementation and risk mitigation. Finally, the paper outlines challenges in regulating remote work and proposes future research directions focused on inclusivity, digital well-being, and innovative workforce practices. The findings provide a roadmap for organizations seeking to thrive in the evolving digital economy through secure and human-centered remote work strategies.
