with malicious intent are more likely to falsify information).<\/li>\n<li>Information regarding the identity of visitors is readily available for everyone to see, but this information should be private and confidential.<\/li>\n<li>Visitor badge systems are effective only if a policy and culture of enforcement exists, where\u00a0all\u00a0authorized persons\u00a0must\u00a0display a badge

security and an unprofessional image to visitors.\u00a0 Overly-complicated and time-consuming security measures may, however, appear unwelcoming to legitimate guests.<\/li>\n<li>Doing nothing is

Printing a barcode on the temporary badge allows for scanning of the badge to make check-out very quick (with the appropriate hardware).<\/li>\n<li>More complex systems can be integrated with popular Access Control systems allowing you to grant visitors temporary card access (Prox\/Mag stripe\/SmartChip, etc) directly from the visitor management software.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data Analysis and Reporting<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>In case of emergency or threat, you can instantly and automatically create a report of individuals known to be at your location at that exact time.\u00a0 For normal analysis or other business reasons, you can look up and sort visitor data and visit information by a variety of criteria.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Security should be a top priority for any organization that gets visitors to its facilities, regardless of size. \u00a0In addition to keeping better track of who is in your buildings and why, companies can also present a more security-conscious and professional image to all of their visitors, contractors, partners, and prospective employees. \u00a0With a secure visitor management system, visitors feel like they are in a professionally managed, more secure facility, and both employees and visitors feel safer.<\/p>\n<p>If you have not yet implemented any front desk safety or security measures, please feel free to download our complimentary paper\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/visibleid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Visitor-Log-Sheet.pdf\">Visitor Registry Log<\/a>\u00a0form.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.5.1 -
