Hi all Seniors!
I have a query here. I hope any of the seniors would kindly clarify my below query.
"We had recently supplied the ID cards for our employees. The employees attended the office wearing ID cards hardly for a few days! No employee showed interest in wearing the ID cards, and now they have completely stopped using the ID cards that were supplied to them.
So, I want to circulate a Memo to all employees informing that wearing of ID cards is mandatory, and every employee shall attend the office wearing the ID Card.
My question is....
1) Can I advise our employees that wearing ID cards is really compulsory and that it has been made mandatory?
2) What is the exact PURPOSE & SIGNIFICANCE of providing ID Cards to the employees?"
Senior HR Peers, kindly clarify me at the earliest since I have to circulate the memo very soon.
Thanks & best Regards

Dear Ambersalem,
Hi...
The following are the importance and significance of ID cards:
1. ID cards are normally worn as an identification mark indicating that you are an employee of this company.
2. It also helps differentiate people as employees and visitors, keeping all unauthorized persons away from certain places/sections in the company.
3. It is also an important aspect of the security and integrity of the company.
4. If employees stay in the office until late night hours, the police may interrogate them on their way back home, where the ID card serves the purpose of showing that they were engaged in office work.
5. Employee ID cards are mostly useful for opening bank accounts, getting a mobile connection, etc., where the ID card holds significant power in marketing the organization.

Hi,
I am just a beginner, but I hope I can make some guesses.
1. An ID card is the first essential token to show your society about the company and the employee.
2. In case of emergencies or if you feel unwell in deserted areas, people can immediately contact your well-wishers.
3. It serves as a document or proof with your photo identity, which may be used to verify aspects of a person.
4. An ID card serves as a way of differentiating and identifying people easily. For example, when the company is located in an IT park, the security guards need not take much time to allow us inside the campus.
Thank you.

I think the main role of an ID card is for identification. It's mainly for security purposes, also for entry into premises, check-in, check-out timing registration. Sometimes concessions are offered by employers too. I am new, forgive me for such little info.

Here comes the culture, and required culture cannot be made overnight. As generally perceived, THIS IS NOT AN IMPORTANT ISSUE, but it is one of the yardsticks to measure MORALE & MOTIVATION. Workmen are more likely to forget carrying the ID cards compared with executives (Nature of job / style of leaving, etc.). But they should not be punished for not carrying (even a Memo). Try educating.
The workforce is a MIX (Not alike, and India is a diversified country).

Dear,
An ID card is nothing but a passport to enter an organization. The main purpose is the security aspect of the company. Without an ID, nobody should be allowed inside the company. Employee loyalty and integrity also count in wearing an ID badge. Initially, employees in my company were reluctant to wear ID badges. We issued 2-3 circulars asking them to wear them. After waiting for a few days with no expected positive response, we instructed the security officer not to allow any employee, regardless of their level or category. Slowly, things started improving. We put up a board at the punch clock which serves as a reminder, "DO YOU HAVE AN ID CARD?"
All this takes time, but surely, a tough, fair, and firm policy will work wonders.
Hope you could gain something from my own experience.

Why don't you try linking the ID card with the attendance system? Introduce it as an "Access Card" to them. Get the attendance software installed at the entry itself and link it to the daily attendance record. I am sure this would solve most of your problems.

As you mentioned that the employees are not using their ID cards, I believe you should counsel them as a friend. Please don't order them; instead, explain the reasons why the company provides IDs to employees. Also, have you been using your ID card daily?

Dear Amber,
Most of our friends have given very valuable suggestions/inputs. First of all, the employees should feel proud of wearing the ID card of the company from which they are getting their bread and butter. As one of our friends mentioned, you should have a barcoding system on the back of the ID cards, which will serve as an attendance swiping card or a door lock decoder to enter their section, for entry at security, entry into company-provided transport, identification or swiping at the canteen to get their lunch, breakfast, or dinner, or at vending machines so that people will carry.
I believe that not all your line managers or senior management are interested in wearing the ID cards; if they were interested, it would have been regularized by now. Focus on the Heads of Departments (HODs), and then things will move in the right direction.
