Abu Dhabi’s largest telecommunication company Etisalat announced it will provide HR letters to its employees as blockchain credentials. The initiative is a partnership with Chaintrail.com and is the first in the region to use blockchain for Human Resources (HR) credentials.
HR letters are likely to be used by employees to prove they are currently employed, for example, when applying for a loan or supporting previous work history when moving jobs. Having these credentials on a blockchain ensures the content is not altered and Etisalat aims to provide lifetime access. It also speeds up credential verification by eliminating manual processes such as contacting the employer to confirm they issued the letter.
