 Apart from plenty of documents provided to a
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.

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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.
