The Importance of ID Cards for Business

Posted


ID cards have become a crucial part of the business world, making it possible to simultaneously simplify employee and visitor identification and enhance a company’s integrity and security. ID cards typically include an employee’s name, photo, job title and department, making quick personal identification a snap. As technology advances, however, ID cards are now being used in a variety of ways to help businesses protect themselves, build relationships and streamline their operations.

  Increased Security

ID cards can increase building security in a number of ways. Using photo ID cards makes it easy for security personnel to quickly identify each employee or visitor, minimizing the risk of impersonation and theft. By restricting access to a building to allow only those with ID cards to enter, each company will be able to lower the possibility of unauthorized visitors entering the building. Many ID cards also include extra security features, such as holographic overlays or magnetic stripes, to further enhance building safety.

Greater accountability

Affixing a magnetic stripe imprinted with a pass code onto each employee’s ID card can do more than simply increase security by restricting access. By assigning each card its own pass code, a company will be able to easily keep track of each employee’s in and out times, equipment and facility usage, which will encourage employee accountability.

Better customer and employee relationships

For businesses that provide service to members of the public, ID cards can improve employee-customer relationships by putting a face to a name, which helps to build rapport and accountability. Within mid- to large-size companies where phone and email communication often precede or replace face-to-face meetings, providing each employee with a photo ID card can help employees get to know each other.

Local benefits and brand recognition

If a company chooses to offer discounts or special deals on restaurant visits, gym memberships or tickets to local events, each employee’s ID card can also serve as a way to gain entry to the event or take advantage of the deal. In addition to building employee morale, giving employees the opportunity to show their badges at various locations has the extra advantage of building brand recognition.
