The Growing Impact of Blockchain on Human Resources w/ Elizebeth Varghese, IBM
from HRchat Podcast · host The HR Gazette
Blockchain promises to be indispensable to Human Resources practices like recruitment, payroll, and employee data. Indeed, Blockchain’s appeal is a route for permissioned parties to confirm, validate and authenticate the exchange of data through its distributed ledger. Blockchain encrypts data and validates transactions through consensus, distributing an unchanging copy of exchanges to each entity that has a copy of the ledger. This builds higher levels of shared trust between parties and removes the need for third-party verification.In HRchat 249, we look at ways Blockchain can help HR departments and leaders in the decade ahead.
