Priya,
The same rule will be applicable for your top management team i.e (VP & Directors).Tell them that there shouldnt be different kinds of ID cards in one organisation. I am sure they have the Visting cards with their designations. So no need of designation in ID card.

Hi Priya,
Enough details you have for a perfect ID card for your employees and you don’t need to do any further change in this format. But I also agree with Sarita that Company and Employee details with Employee’s Emergency Number on single side of the CARD would be better.

Hi Friend,
This discussion thread really provoked my mind in different ways.
First instance, I thought -
Why not we put the designation in the ID Cards
Secondly, Why should we put the designations in the ID Cards
And Finally we should not put the designation in the ID Cards,
And now I understand the generous nature of my MD who wears an ID card in office with out fail, even if not necessary as she is the owner of a 400 seater company. Needless to say that there is no designation imprinted in her ID Card.
Tell your superiors that only their Excellence in work should speak about their name and not the tag after all, a piece of plastic hanging at the end of the rope.
No way accept this as this is not morale, even if you can change the ID Cards as and then.

hi priya, i feel there is no need to mention designation. employee ID no. is sufficient. i have seen many id cards on which only id no. is mentioned. Aman

Hi,
Not necessary to provide the designation in ID card, if suppose an employee promote to next level it has to be changed.
You can provide visiting card with designation wherever necessary employees.

Hi Priya,
I too agree that no need of mentioning designation on ID card as in our company i also dont mention designation on ID card this is because of for all the employees irrespective of band ID cards can be issued to all of them, avoiding unnecessary expenditure.
I mention below mentioned details on ID card in the front side.
1. Company Logo
2. Photo of the employee
3. Employee Number
4. Blood Group ( Incase any Emergency keep this as mandatory )
5. Emergency Contact Number other than his mobile number
And back side of the ID card.
1. Company Logo
2. Printing some necessary precautions about ID card
3. Office Address
You can minimise if you want only office address at the back side of the ID card.

Hi priya
the iD card should have the
Company Logo
Full Name of employee and employee Number
Full Address and phone no of the company (web sites)
You may involve the blood group of the employee instead of designations If you are not comfortable

Priya,
Gone are those days when people were known by designation... We are now recognized as a strategic partner and our journey from P&A to HRD/People officers doesnot need explanation.
Putting designation is the barrier and not an identity... do not encourage and stick to your decision..you can justify by saying all the big conglomerate follow this...and further i card is identity of an employee.. it might sound good for top management, but for the employees down the line its not encouraging.. further when employee deal with outsiders or clients, or travelling out side, the outsiders or society becomes judgmental.. Plz avoid.. let me know if you success in this.. and also tell us the story i will follow it up..
Thanks

Dear priya,
What you are talking about is photo id card, Not designation id card. For the purpose of designation, they should use their business cards.
You can justify the cost and difficulty in changinfg Id card every time once an employee is promoted and that too at country level, It is going to be a hell of a difficulty.
But do not hesitate to quote the practice of the GPW organisations.
However its tricky issue. most professional orgnisation would accept this theory. But all are not professional organisation. Hence you must really think whether you are able to convince the top management or this act of not obliging them is going to burn your fingers. All are not nandan nilekani, Azim Premji and Ratan tata.
And if you feel that there will not be any designation change for the top management guys , you can have that for their satisfaction.
Hence better sense prevails.

Hi Pramod Singh,
I agree that designation is a barrier in id card in a professional organisation. that's not same in some business houses which still runs with a old school of thought.
This may be one.
It all depends on how you canvince your management and how they get convinced?
