Good security is paramount for all companies these days. You don’t want random strangers wondering through your offices, nosing around in your business and stealing your trade secrets. For health and safety reasons, many companies also have restricted areas and need to be able to effectively control access to these parts of their premises. But hiring full-time security to man the doors of all sensitive areas is costly, and not necessarily the best use of resources. One way to make your premises more secure and protect your physical and intellectual property is to issue custom ID cards to all your employees.
Identification cards are an essential building management tool
Identification cards with photos will make it easier for security staff at your main entrance to identify your employees and can allow them to quickly verify who has authorized access to restricted areas. These cards will also help you keep track of your employees and monitor who is entering and exiting the building. Knowing where your employees are, makes it easier to find them in a large facility. It can also be useful in an emergency because it is quick to verify how many people were in the building, and how many people left the building after an emergency alarm was sounded. In the case of an evacuation, you will not waste time and risk lives searching for people who left the building earlier in the day.
If you have staff members that are paid an hourly rate, ID cards can be scanned to clock them in and out and keep track of the number of hours they work. They are also essential if you want to implement an automated access control system, a cost-effective way of managing access to all parts of your building without reducing productivity or hiring extra security. Custom identification cards can also be used to control access to concerts, corporate events, music festivals, and trade shows.
