How to Implement an Employee Badge Policy at Your Office

YouTube video

*There are numerous benefits to using employee badges in your company. They can help keep people safe, protect company property, and improve customer-employee relationships.

However, if you don’t implement a badge policy the right way, you won’t gain any of these benefits and may actually hurt your business instead.

We put together this guide to help you set up an employee badge policy which you can use to better your company. Keep reading to learn more.

  1. Know Your Reasoning

The first thing you have to do before you start is to decide why you want to implement the use of badges. This will determine what goes into your policy and how the badges are designed.

  1. Create a Written Policy

Once you know what you want to accomplish with your employee badges, you can start to write up the policy. Here are a few questions that should be answered within that policy:

  • Who will be responsible for creating badges?
  • When are employees required to wear badges?
  • What is the process for an employee requesting a new badge?
  • Do badges need to be collected upon employee termination?
  • How will badges be worn and/or displayed?
  • Are visitors required to wear badges?
  • Will employees or the company cover the cost of employee badges?
  • What are the consequences of not wearing a badge?

By having a written badge policy that all employees have access to, you will eliminate a lot of confusion as you begin to implement this policy.

  1. Inform Employees

The next step is to let your employees know about the changes that are occurring in your company. Provide all of them with a digital or physical copy of the new badge policy and have each person sign off that they’ve read it.

You will also want to address the new policy in a meeting and allow people to ask questions to ensure everybody is on the same page and understands the expectations you’re creating.

  1. Implement Employee Badge Policies

The implementation may be the longest step in this process. You will need to have someone begin printing ID badges. With so many printers for ID cards to choose from, it should be easy to find one that meets your needs.

If you’re using photo IDs, this process will take even longer because each employee will need to have their picture taken before the badges can be made.

Have someone check over all of the badges for mistakes before they’re handed out to employees. You may also want to have employees sign a statement to say they received their badge and that it’s correct before handing it over.

  1. Get Feedback

After your employees have been using badges for a few weeks or months, start to gather feedback from them and others. You may need to tweak your policy to ensure it’s working as intended.
