Business Ethics and Name Tags

The point of this article is to show how important it is to wear proper personal identification (i.e., name tags and name badges) when building business ethics. Without name tags, people can be left in the dark in situations at a bank or a grocery store.

Business Ethics

And without a name badge, Scott Ginsberg wouldn’t be who he is today. To quote Scott, “Everything I needed to know about business, I learned from that name tag!”

Anecdote 1: (from every day life)

Adhesive name badges in four colors: red, yellow, blue and green with a handwritten name.

Have you ever walked into a store and wanted something specific but there was no one in sight to help you find it? We’ve all experienced this. We’ve all wandered a store looking only to, desperately and at the last minute, find someone who can help. And, typically, this person isn’t wearing any identifiers, especially a name tag or name badge, that would have suggested he/she could help in the first place.

Anecdote 2: (from Scott Ginsberg)

Scott Ginsberg the name tag guy with a my name is name badge and who is about using name tags to define business ethics.

“So there I was, sitting in the audience at a seminar. Surrounding me sat hundreds of us wearing one of those little, handwritten, adhesive name badges. When the event was over, we all filed toward the exit. I approached the door and noticed a small trashcan filled to the brim with used name badges. And that gave me an idea. A crazy idea. Maybe I should keep my name tag on all night! About 10 minutes later I met up with a friend of mine at a local ice cream shop. And that’s when it all started. That’s when the silence was broken. People began to say hello. Random students walked up to me and started conversations. Even complete strangers yelled “Hey Scott!” from across the room!”

Business Ethics Anecdote 3: (from someone required daily to wear a name tag)

“The only purpose of the name tag is for a customer to be able to refer to the name tag wearer in the context of a compliment or complaint. I wear a name tag every day and find that it isn’t a huge thing for me. However, I will say that name tags are generally considered appropriate in this particular field (banking). I do give credit to the executives here as everybody wears one, not just the peons.”

A name tag is merely a symbol that represents several core values that Scott holds close to his heart. “The truth is; my name tag and my values are one in the same. You see, my name tag represents friendliness, approachability, fun, creativity, uniqueness and casualness. Let’s face it, if you wear a name tag all day, every day, wherever you go, you will stand out, and people will notice.”

The Functionality of Name Plates In The Work Place

Many people need to work to make a living, and many jobs require personal identification. This can be as simple as wearing a name tag. In office settings, a name plate is often the most effective way to identify employees. This is because the primary function of a name plate is to inform viewers of a person’s name and title.

The Purpose of Name Plates

While it is a seemingly simple function, name plates play a critical role in workplace communication. And, each plate is typically designed with both the employee and employer in mind. When colleagues and clients can easily identify who they are interacting with, it creates a sense of belonging and respect.

Enhance any professional environment by clearly defining roles and responsibilities by using name plates. This is especially important in larger organizations where many employees work closely together. A name plate provides instant recognition, reducing the need for awkward introductions and enabling smoother interactions.

Consistency in Design

Many companies use a consistent style for identification to enhance their branding. By matching the color, font and design of every name plate, they create a cohesive look. This shows attention to detail and leaves a positive impression on clients and visitors. The functionality of name plates plays a key role in achieving this.

While some companies want a standard template design, others may want to create custom designs that include their company logo or color schemes. This customization allows a business to align their identification with a corporate identity and still provide individuality.

Flexibility and Functionality of Name Plates

Name plates are typically mounted on doors, walls or cubicles. The mounting method can significantly impact the professional appearance of the office space.

Name plates function better with a quality holder like these wall mounts, desk stand and even cubicle holders.

Common mounting options include:

Desk Holders: Allows name plates to sit directly on an employee’s desk, making them easily visible to anyone approaching.
Wall Mounts: Fastened to walls or doors using screws or double sided tape to quickly present offices and other spaces professionally.
Cubicle Hangers: Easily attach name plates to office cubicles without the need for screws by using double sided tape or simple tension.
Velcro or Magnetic Tape: These alternatives offer additional flexibility for easy adjustments and repositioning of name plates, accommodating any office layout or personnel changes.

Enhance Your Professionalism

Name plates do more than identify individuals; they enhance communication, professionalism and branding. With various mounting and customization options, choose a name plate that meets your business needs. Prioritize communication and strong branding by utilizing the functionality of name plates in any office setting.
