Blockchain and the Distributed Workforce — New Medium Publication
Blockchain technology has some inherent features that could help us build the next generation of fairer and more effective work platforms.
There are many problems associated with the world of work that we need to fix :- the poor visibility of available work, bias and discrimination, and late payments to workers. And from an employers’ perspective :- poor visibility of workers, expensive intermediaries to unverified candidates.
I started researching blockchain and it’s potential uses in the workforce back in 2016, and wrote up some of my thoughts in my article “How Will Blockchain Impact HR?”.
This generated lots of interesting conversations, a published research project for the Tapscott’s Blockchain Research Institute, hosting events and supporting start-ups with products and making new connections.
Every week there are new and exciting developments in this space so I want “Blockchain and the Distributed Workforce” to be a hub for new developments and articles.
The aim is to include interesting articles and developments in the use of blockchain and other technologies in the workplace. It will also cover topics related to demographics, the job market and new organisational models.
