Question 5:

What do you think is the most innovative use of blockchain technology that you’ve seen in the workplace?

The most innovative use of Blockchain that I’ve seen in the workplace is using it to power a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). A DAO can allow for distributed decision-making among stakeholders, where decisions are made through collective voting, giving all participants an equal say in matters. Furthermore, this model can help increase employee satisfaction and morale as everyone has a chance to weigh in on important matters. Additionally, having a token-based system allows employees to be rewarded with additional benefits and rewards within the workspace. We have been testing both mentioned above at TekRevol and it will be implemented very soon.
