There’s no denying that with the Great Resignation, workers are more empowered to seek what they want from their jobs.
Other than flexibility and better benefits, a new workplace perk is gaining popularity — the option of being paid in digital currency.
More than a third of millennials (those aged between 26 and 42) and half of Generation Z (25 and below) would be happy to receive half their salary in bitcoin or other forms of cryptocurrencies, revealed the study.
A cryptocurrency is a digital asset that utilizes computer code and blockchain technology to operate somewhat on its own, without the need for a central party to manage the system.
Another survey, by SoFi and Workplace Intelligence of 800 U.S. employees, showed that 42% of them would like to receive non-fungible tokens as performance rewards.
Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are unique assets that are verified and stored using blockchain technology — a digital ledger similar to the networks that underpin cryptocurrencies.
