(Somebody should reverse the language pair on this one.)

Here's a description which shows what "position risk" is in the "human resources" context. It is not the same as the financial term, which refers to risk associated with a certain investment ("position"). I don't know the Russian term, but it means something like "риск, связанный с должностью" - that is, with the position itself and it's requirements, not with the person being named to the job.

Apply a rating scale of 1 - 5 (as identified below) to the position being assessed to estimate the level of difficulty involved in replacing the incumbent in the position. The value assigned is the "position risk factor" and helps management assess the overall attrition risk. The following lists of evaluative criterion were adapted from the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Knowledge Retention Program:

5 — Critical and unique knowledge or skills. This is mission-critical knowledge, agency- or unit-specific knowledge that is undocumented and requires three to five years of experience to bring skills to journey level. No skilled replacement is available to move into the position.

4 — Critical knowledge and skills. The knowledge and skills are mission-critical. Limited duplication exists in other positions/units or divisions, and only limited documentation exits to guide employee moving into this position. It requires two to four years of focused training and experience.

3 — Important organizational knowledge and skills. Documentation exists for the knowledge and skills and/or other personnel on site possess the knowledge/skills necessary to be successful in these positions. Applicants can generally be trained in one to two years.

2 — Procedural or Non-Mission-Critical knowledge and skills. Clear, up-to-date procedures exist. Training programs in place are current and effective. Training can be completed in less than one year.

1 — Common knowledge and skills. External hires possessing the knowledge/skills are readily available and require little additional training.

"its requirements" not "it's" - sorry.

Риски По источнику возникновения:
Внутренние - риски, источником которых является сама организация и особенности ее функционирования. К примеру, мы никогда не моем со 100% вероятностью предсказать поведение други людей, поэтому в любой организации существует кадровый риск.

Внешние риски - исходят из окружения фирмы. Как мы помним, на фирму влияет микросреда, или непосредственное окружение фирмы (клиенты, конкуренты, поставщики, и т. д.), а также макросреда - социальные, экономические, политические, технологические и прочие факторы "глобального" масштаба.
