Financial Manager Workplace ID Cards

A Financial Manager provides monetary advice and guides clients in financial matters. It is important that he/she is easily identifiable. This not only empowers the Manager to exercise his/her duties confidently but also makes it difficult for anyone else to impersonate them. Hence eliminating the chances of any fraud or scam.

This can be achieved by two means: either by assigning a uniform to the Financial Manager or by providing an ID badge. Since wearing an assigned dress is not preferable, ID Badge is the better and cheaper way to go.

What is a Financial Manager ID badge?

An Identification badge is a piece of laminated paper or plastic issued by the Human Resource Department, identifying the person serving as Financial Manager.

Importance of ID Badge:

The most important and basic advantage of an ID badge is security. It makes it difficult for anyone to impersonate the manager and hence scam any unsuspecting clients. It also helps the company to control access to information and places.

When an employee is wearing an ID badge clearly displaying their designation, it is convenient for everyone from peons to security staff, to assess whether they are authorized to be in an area or not. Since financial information is classified, it is important to control who has access to it.

A Financial manger’s id badge also increases their confidence and raises their sense of responsibility. It makes them realize how important their work is and the obligation they have towards their company.

It increases the client’s comfort level as they know who they are dealing with and makes it easy for them to trust the person wearing this badge because the company has vetted the manager and they have the authorization to handle their monetary issues.

How to create an ID badge?

An Id badge can easily be created within the office. This is a very attractive option as the cost is negligible and the badge can be updated without any wait or hassle. A Financial Manager’s Id badge should have the following fields.

Company Logo:

Displaying the Company logo on the ID badge has multiple advantages. First and most basic advantage is the identification of the company for which the financial manager is working. Second advantage is the company branding.

Whenever the Financial manager attends a meeting wearing their company issued ID badges, the company name is promoted, and the professionalism of the manager works to add to the company’s brand name.

Name of Manager:

This is the most important part of the badge as it identifies the person serving as the financial manager, making it easier for fellow employees to remember the manager’s name and giving a personal touch to the interaction with clients.

Picture of Manager:

It is important to have a clear, easily identifiable, and recent picture of the financial manager on the ID badge so that people can identify if the ID badge is worn by the actual Manager.

The picture is usually added in the upper left-hand corner of the badge while the other details are mentioned on the right.

Employee ID number:

Most companies issue employees with an Id number at the time of hiring and this number is used to maintain all the company records for that employee. The ID badge should have this number displayed.

Designation:

The Managers designation should be clearly stated on the badge. The name and Designation should be bold and in a bigger font.

Issue and Expiry Date:

The date of issuance and expiry of the ID badge should also be mentioned.

Signatures:

The signatures of the Head of Human Resource are important because they identify the person on whose authority the ID badge has been issued.

All these details should be written clearly and using minimum words so that the ID badge is easy to interpret in a single glance. Giving too much information on the Id badge would confuse the on lookers and defeat the purpose.
