Wearing Name Tags and Feeling Safe at Work

Your employer knows that wearing name tags goes hand-in-hand with their credibility. If someone knows your name and the company you represent, they are more likely to initiate a conversation or make a purchase. So, by having employees quickly identifiable, your employer will be able to retain more and more consumers.

Employees who wear name tags also offer a sense of responsibility and good customer service in their workplace. Often, name tags are the hardest working element on your uniform during meetings, conventions and other professional events. These incredible tools are essential to your employer’s marketing and customer communication.

Feeling safe while wearing name tags

While wearing name tags at work can often feel risky, most employers require one either with or in place of a uniform. And when working for one of these companies, it can become slightly unsettling when you are required to wear your name for everyone to see. So, here are some quick tips to help you feel safer when you wear a name tag.

Wearing Name Tags: First Name Only

Become more relatable to customers with a simple first name only name tag while you work. As name tags immediately remove all barriers, they allow customers to ask questions and express their concerns. In addition, they let the customer know who they are working with from the moment they meet you.

While this may seem a bit intimidating, remember that you are working to represent the company. Patrons to this business need the ability to find what they need quickly, and your name tag is part of that. So, even wearing a tag with your first name provides this relatability.

Also, it can be challenging to remember everyone’s name, especially in larger business locations. However, by wearing name tags, newer employees and other team members in the company are more apt to recognize each other. This recognition also increases security in the workplace.
