科技界的每个人都在谈论区块链。简而言之，区块链是一种使用分布式分类账来持续存储有关操作或交易信息的技术。该技术的构建方式使得一旦添加到区块链账本后修改数据变得非常困难。

由于先进的安全功能和数字审计的简化，区块链常常被誉为将改变金融世界的革命性技术，在过去的几年中，我们看到该技术的实施稳步增长。

由于对获取所有信息的需求不断上升 - 不仅仅是金融活动 - 区块链越来越被视为真正的跨行业破坏者，几乎可以改变每个行业。正如我们在人力资源技术行业认为信息是我们的圣杯，使用区块链来保护这些敏感数据正成为一项需求，如果不是必要的话。

人力资源技术的发展

与其他行业一样，人力资源领域近年来发生了重大转变。从人工智能等新技术的整合到云平台等的广泛采用，全球各地的组织正在将他们的人力资源部门数字化。

人力资源部门掌握一系列个人信息，例如社会安全号码，银行账户详情，护照复印件，婚姻状况等等，这些都是管理全球身份所必需的，并且都非常敏感。区块链分散信息，提供安全和数字化的方式来验证和验证信息，使其融入人力资源的世界成为“何时”而不是“如果”的问题。

区块链已经从未来的技术发展成为现在的技术。因此，希望确保其寿命的HR科技公司需要在其解决方案中实施区块链，否则有可能成为昨日新闻的一部分。

确保GDPR符合区块链

公司今天面临的最紧迫问题之一是GDPR合规。随着新法规将于2018年5月25日生效，公司需要确保员工信息的存储和管理能够确保GDPR合规性，而区块链是一个很好的解决方案。

区块链技术的使用允许以减少违规的可能性以及消除输入后修改的可能性的方式来保护信息。在一个四分之一的电子邮件和社交账户被黑客攻击的世界里，意味着雇主必须在GDPR下提高个人信息的安全性。由于GDPR规定私人公民的信息必须以安全的方式存储，因此使用区块链来保护员工信息是最终的解决方案。

区块链的使用还通过提供额外的安全层感谢高级权限来增强隐私保护功能。根据Papaya首席技术官Ofer Herman的说法，该公司是首批使用区块链技术保护其平台的全球HRIS公司之一，“通过使用区块链技术来保护我们的薪资无处不在平台，我们能够通过加密来提高我们客户的信息安全性数据以一种方式管理组织内的人员可以访问信息。这样做不仅可以帮助公司遵守GDPR，还可以减少个人劳动力信息受到影响的可能性。“

标准化基础设施以简化集成

今天的组织需要数十个系统才能同时协同工作，以便有效地管理其运营，因此所有解决方案都必须与所有解决方案无缝协作，这对他们的成功至关重要。

区块链作为任何人力资源平台的底层基础设施，都可以帮助公司简化和改善跨多个系统的信息管理。

由于区块链是一个标准化的基础架构，因此可以轻松地调整与运行全球薪酬管理解决方案所需的不同系统的集成。利用区块链作为工资平台的基础基础，还可以提高全球薪资管理水平，这得益于简化付款的能力，确保全球员工按时按正确的货币付款。由于区块链分类账不能修改，因此对于需要审计其薪资信息的公司来说，这是理想的技术。区块链不仅可以减少花费在汇总工资核算信息上的时间，还可以确保不会发生错误。

人力资源科技潜力巨大

虽然人力资源领域区块链最明显的用途是符合GDPR和改善全球薪酬管理，但区块链有可能简化和改进人力资源的几乎所有方面。从改进招聘到验证申请人对认证的主张，以及改善员工医疗记录的记录，区块链无疑将比您想象的更早地成为人力资源技术的一个关键方面。

经历全球增长的公司将发现，以区块链为基础的全球薪酬管理解决方案仅仅是个开始。随着新技术融入人力资源的更多方面，区块链将成为标准而不是新鲜事物，而从一开始就不选择基于区块链的解决方案的公司很可能会发现自己正在处理耗时的过渡。

Everyone in the tech world is talking about blockchain. In short, blockchain is a technology that uses distributed ledgers to continually store information about actions or transactions. The way the technology is built makes it extremely difficult to modify data once added to the blockchain ledger.

Thanks to advanced security capabilities and the simplification of digital auditing, blockchain is often hailed as the revolutionary technology that will transform the financial world and in the past few years, we have witnessed a steady increase in the implementation of this technology.

Due to the rising need to secure all information — not just financial activity — blockchain is increasingly being seen as a true cross-industry disruptor, with the possibility of transforming almost every industry. As we in the HR tech industry perceive information as our holy grail, using blockchain to secure such sensitive data is becoming a requirement, if not a necessity.

The Evolution of HR TechMuch like every other industry, the HR world has undergone a significant transformation in recent years. From the integration of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, to the widespread adoption of cloud-based platforms and more, organizations worldwide are digitizing their HR departments.

HR departments hold an array of personal information, such as social security numbers, bank account details, passport copies, marital status and more, all necessary to manage a global identity, and all extremely sensitive. Blockchain decentralizes information and provides a secure and digital way to validate and verify information, making its integration into the world of HR a question of “when” and not “if.”

Blockchain has evolved from the technology of the future to be the technology of the present. As a result, HR tech companies looking to ensure their longevity need to implement blockchain into their solution, or risk being a part of yesterday’s news.

Ensuring GDPR Compliance with Blockchain

One of the most pressing issues companies face today is GDPR compliance. With the new regulation going into effect May 25, 2018, companies need to ensure employee information is stored and managed in a way that ensures GDPR compliance — and blockchain is a great solution.

The use of blockchain technology allows for information to be secured in a way that reduces the chance of breach as well as eliminates the possibility of modification after being entered. In a world where 1 in 4 email and social accounts are hacked, implying grave probabilities for employers who must improve security of personal information under the GDPR. Since the GDPR stipulates that information of private citizens must be stored in a secure way, using blockchain to secure employee information is the ultimate solution.

The use of blockchain also enhances privacy protection capabilities by providing an added layer of security thanks to advanced permissions. According to Ofer Herman, the CTO of Papaya, one of the first Global HRIS companies to use blockchain technology to secure their platform, “By using blockchain technology to secure our payroll everywhere platform, we are able to improve information security for our clients by encrypting data in a way that regulates who within an organization can access information. In doing so, not only are we helping companies comply with the GDPR, but we can reduce the possibility of personal workforce information being compromised.”

Standardizing Infrastructure to Simplify Integrations

Organizations today need dozens of systems to work together simultaneously in order to effectively manage their operations, making it imperative to their success that all solutions interact seamlessly with one another.

The use of blockchain as the underlying infrastructure of any HR platform allows companies to simplify and improve the management of information across multiple systems.

Since blockchain is a standardized infrastructure, integration with different systems needed to run a global payroll management solution can be easily adapted. The use of blockchain as the underlying basis of a payroll platform also improves global payroll management thanks to the ability to streamline payments, ensuring the entire global workforce is paid on time and in the correct currency. Since blockchain ledgers cannot be modified, it is the ideal technology for companies who need to audit their payroll information. Not only does blockchain reduce time spent aggregating payroll information, it ensures no errors are made.

The HR Tech Potential is Great

While the most obvious use of blockchain in the HR world is for GDPR compliance and improvement of global payroll management, blockchain has the potential to simplify and improve almost every aspect of HR.  From improving recruitment through verification of applicants claims of certifications, to improving the documentation of healthcare records for employees, blockchain will undoubtedly become a critical aspect of HR tech sooner than you think.

Companies experiencing global growth will discover that having a global payroll management solution with blockchain as its base is just the beginning. As the new technology becomes infused in more aspects of HR, blockchain will become the standard rather than a novelty, and companies that do not select a blockchain based solution from the start will likely find themselves dealing with time-consuming transitions down the road.
