Abstract
Disruptive innovations have the ability to change any aspect of the world. The following paper explores the ways in which Blockchain is classified as a disruptive form of technology, focusing on its impact within Human Resource Management. Blockchain has the capability to revolutionize the way Human Resource professionals recruit, track payroll, and train employees. It also includes “smart contracts” which streamline everyday routine tasks. Although the implementation of this new software technology into HR has many benefits, there are skeptics that do not believe it can be fully functional. Research has shown that the benefits of the implementation of this technology outweighs the concerns and risks. With the close alignment of the General Data Protection Regulations, Blockchain technology has the ability to fully revolutionize the way Human Resource Management is operated.
