ID Cards: Is Including Designation Necessary or Not? Seeking Your Insights

Dear Peers, I had a doubt about ID cards: Is designation required or not? Please clarify.

Dear Peers, I had a doubt about ID cards: Is a designation a requirement? Please clarify.

Essential Elements of an ID Card

For various reasons, I believe an ID card should have the following:
1. Company's Name, Address, Contact No.
2. Employee's Name
3. Employee's Photograph
4. Employee's Designation & Department
5. Employee's Initials / Signature
6. Employee's Blood Group

Handling Changes in Employee Information

Now, the question might arise: what should be done when the job title, department, designation, or location of an employee changes? In such a scenario, create a new ID card with the necessary changes. Issue the new card, but before that, ask the employee to return the current ID card to the company. This ID can be filed in the employee file for record-keeping purposes.

Hope this information helps 

Importance of Information on ID Cards

The objective of the ID card is to assist an employee if they encounter a problem on the way to the office or home. These days, road accidents have become common, and including the blood group on the ID will be very helpful. Additionally, including any contact number for emergencies will be of great assistance. More information is better for the employee.

Yes, generally, the ID should include the Employee Code, Name, and Designation.
