Why an Employee Identity Card becomes imperative for an Organization?

new employee, an ID card is also given. In the

office time, each employee has to bear this card

hanging in the neck or tie with the pants belt.

Why an Employee Identity Card becomes imperative for an Organization?

But there are some questions,

Why ID badges are made?

What is their importance?

Are they beneficial for organization?

How does it work for an employee?

Let’s have a glance at a few reasons.

Employment Evidence:

The ID card gives a definite proof that the person carrying

the card works for the particular organization, and all the

security personnel need to do is check the ID and the let

the person through into the organization’s premises.

Restrict Access/ Security:

In most organizations, not all employees have complete

inter departmental access. Also there are some

rooms/floor/cabins/amenities/facilities that cannot be

accessed by everybody, and an employee ID card helps

determines who has access to what.

A Sense of Belonging:

Every employee wants to “belong” to the organization that he

works for. An ID card exudes this sense of belonging with not

just the organization but also the members of the

organization. The fact that they feel a part of the organization

means it gives them an impulsion to perform better.

Time Recording Approach:

An ID card is also a way to keep tracking of an

employee’s entry and exit times. The card may need to

show at reception desk or to be swiped right at the

entrance to the premise or the respective department’s

door. This means employees can save time for not

signing a register or something. Also the management

can keep records of employee in and out times. With

the help of Magstrip/ Proximity/ MiFare/ RFID etc.

cards, tracking becomes an automated process.

Access to Special Discounts:

Several organizations offer their employees a lot of perks

through ID card. These are in the form of restaurant

discounts, ticket discounts at movie theatres and many

others. Employees of an organization can get access to

these discounts by showing their ID cards.

Personal Identity:

An employee ID card also serves as a personal ID card. The

card carries the personal information like photo, name,

national identity, contact address, whom to call in case of

emergency, blood group etc. In case of any emergency,

such as accident or robbery or a medical emergency or

something else, ID card assists to be guided/ helped the

victim holders.

Work Culture Expression:

Employee ID badges are an intrinsic part of the work culture of any

organization. The card also portrays the brand image of the firms. The

scope of the ID card and all that it represents changes from one

organization to another; so while somebody will make a card an important

part of the performance evaluation process of an employee, somebody

else might just consider it a security feature that is just one of the many

ways in which an organization is made more secure.

Conclusion:

These are just some of the many reasons why

an ID card is important for an organization. As

can be seen, the ID card/Badge plays multiple

roles and some way or the other help the

employees and the organizations as well.
