Are Photo ID Badges Worth the Investment for My Business?

Depending on the unique needs of your business, our photo ID badges can be customized to meet the many different requirements of your company. As one of the most versatile forms of employee identification, they are not only worth the investment, but have also shown a promising ROI. Below, we explore just a few of the most important benefits of photo ID badges and why your business should not go another day without this important form of identification.

1.  Increase Security with Photo ID Badges

Photo ID badges are an easy method of ensuring only authorized personnel can enter your facility or better control who enters certain sections of your facility. Allowing your security team to easily verify a person, badges are the perfect method of giving employees authorized access to certain areas.

Furthermore, photo ID badges help your entire team join in the security protocols. Employees can identify one another by the badges they wear. If any team member sees someone without their badge in the building, they will be able to report it to security, giving you extra eyes everywhere for an even wider net of security.

Photo ID badges are also critical for service businesses such as private security firms, cable companies, plumbers, corporate cleaning services, and more. These remote employees spend most of their day visiting different offices or client’s homes. Photo ID badges are the easiest way for clients to verify the personnel is who they claim to be, putting your clients at ease.

2.  Boost Your Productivity

Employees can also use photo ID badges to get where they need to be, faster. Streamlining this process will help employees focus on their jobs, rather than worry about security or if they are in the correct area on a job site.

According to a study published by Dell, maintaining security in your business is a top priority when it comes to the productivity of your employees. In fact, 91% of surveyed individuals said their productivity was negatively impacted by an employer’s inefficient security measures.

By creating a streamlined security process, you can help negate the impacts security could have on employee productivity.

3.  Keep Track of Your Employees with Ease

For many businesses, monitoring who enters and exits the building and when they do so is critical to payroll, security, and more. Photo ID badges assist with monitoring these activities and allow you to customize how you identify each employee. You will know exactly who made each authorized access. This system of identification may also be especially helpful in larger facilities, allowing you to determine where employees are when you need them.

Equally important, photo ID badges also benefit part-time employees. Since their pay is affected by when they arrive and leave, you will have a record of the exact number of hours worked.

4.  Integrate Your Photo ID Badges with the Latest Access Control Technology

One of the most exciting parts about photo ID badges is their ability to seamlessly integrate with some of the latest security technology. Automated access control is a great method of protecting certain areas of your business without productivity obstacles. Powerful access control technologies such as smart chips and RFID tags can be embedded right into the photo ID badge, making access for your employees as easy as a swipe.

5.  Connect with Your Customers

Perhaps the least recognized benefit of photo ID badges may also be the most important. Think about the last time you experienced stellar customer service. What were some of the reasons the service was so great? Were you able to trust the employee to know what they were talking about? Did you feel connected, even friendly with them?

A photo ID badge is a great way to create more engaging interactions with customers. Photo ID badges instantly verify an employee’s identity for customers, creating a way for them to approach your staff on a more personal level.

This understanding can be critical in determining whether a customer will return or make a purchase from your business.
