Blockchain-based human resource management practices for mitigating skills and competencies gap in workforce

Abstract

Skills gap between company needs and competencies occupied by the workforce can be the source of inefficiencies. The purpose of this research is to develop a blockchain-based human resource (HR) framework to match the needs from the company and workforce competencies This framework will help Corporate Training Centre to standardized the competencies which then used by HR Department to develop the training material. In order to get valid information regarding skills that are needed from the company, we develop a prototype based on Blockchain. Hence, blockchain-based HRM is built to improve the quality of workforce competency in an organization. The current organizations are struggling to fulfil the needs of the workforce in accordance with industry quality standards. Therefore, this will help all parties to create a consensus between the needs of the industry with the labour market. Corporate Training Centre through the competent institution will be the mediator or intermediary to unite the information from companies, training institutions, and Professional Certification Institutions. As a result, in the long term, the needs of the workforce with the qualification required by the company in such industries will always fit the current situation. Blockchain helps to process the information and data needed by each party so that the connection between parties will be assisted efficiently and effectively.

An End-to-End Bidirectional Authentication System for Pallet Pooling Management Through Blockchain Internet of Things (BIoT)

“…Compared with the previous identity authentication processes used in the IoT, the introduction of blockchain can, to a greater extent, ensure a centralised state of information control, reach a network consensus, and ensure that each user's information is authenticated using cryptography to prevent any leakage of users' private information (Durairaj and Muthuramalingam, 2018;Fachrunnisa and Hussain, 2020). Therefore, the paradigm of blockchain-IoT (BIoT) is now being advocated to boost industrial blockchain development for securely managing IoT data through fully integrating blockchain and IoT technologies .…”

The Ethics of Blockchain in Organizations

“…Only a handful of scholars have started to investigate it from a management perspective. For example, Fachrunnisa and Hussain (2020) discussed the creation of a human resources training supply chain in which skills needed in the industry are found via blockchain algorithms. In the field of engineering, scholars have begun to develop protocols and platforms that will allow blockchain functionality in organizational recruitment processes (Öncu, 2019) and work history fraud prevention (Sarda et al, 2018).…”

A Framework to Overcome Blockchain Enabled Sustainable Manufacturing Issues through Circular Economy and Industry 4.0 Measures

“…Blockchain technology requires higher skilled labour which requires regular training of employees. Lack in skills affects the adoption of blockchain enabled practices (Lu, 2018;Fachrunnisa & Hussain, 2020;Sahebi et al, 2020) C19…”
