Blockchain In Human Resources: Ensuring Data Privacy And Transparency In Employee Management

Abstract

The implementation of blockchain technology in human resources appears to hold considerable potential as a solution to problems relating to data privacy and transparency in personnel administration. In light of the fact that data security and trust are perennial issues for traditional HR systems, innovative approaches to the management of sensitive employee data are currently being researched. The current body of research does not do a good job of investigating whether or not the use of blockchain technology can effectively guarantee data privacy and transparency in human resource management and whether or not it is even feasible to do so. In this study, qualitative interviews with HR practitioners, IT specialists, and blockchain developers are paired with quantitative examinations of blockchain implementations in selected HR systems. This research aims to discover whether or not blockchain technology can successfully alleviate employee data privacy issues and promote openness in HR record keeping. The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not blockchain technology can effectively alleviate these concerns. The findings indicate that the blockchain technology has a significant amount of promise in terms of lowering the risks to data privacy and raising the level of transparency in HR procedures. The distributed ledger design of blockchain makes it possible to store employee data in a way that is both secure and impossible to alter, hence reducing the likelihood of data breaches. The study also reveals implementation barriers, which opens the way for proposals to support the broad adoption of blockchain technology in HR systems.
