A company, organisation or group hosting an event or meeting often have many staff in attendance. Customers, guests and visitors need to be able to identify these persons at a glance to ensure smooth running of the operation and to provide a professional image. One simple way to achieve this is by issuing all personnel with a Staff Lanyard.
A Staff Lanyard, What is That?
What is a lanyard? Quite simply, a lanyard is something we have all seen often and not realised that it has a name. It can be the rope, cord or chain worn around the neck to attach an identity card, ticket or pass to for example. They can be made from a variety of materials including fabric, plastic, leather and metal. Many companies opt to have their logo or brand names embroidered or printed on them. A Staff Lanyard generally has the word “STAFF” printed repeatedly around the material. They really are a great way to identify your employees. They can be made in bright colours or a basic black and white, either way they are highly effective and visible at all times.
Lanyard versus a Badge
If your staff must display some form of identity or pass constantly, a lanyard is the most convenient way. A badge is not always suitable and not as secure. Women in particular, often have problems finding somewhere to pin a badge in a prominent place without damaging their clothes. Men commonly fix them to a jacket pocket only to forget they are there when removing this item of clothing. Displaying a lanyard is easy; everyone has a neck to hang it around.
Safe from Strangulation
Don’t be concerned about safety; a Staff Lanyard can be manufactured with a special clip that will instantly break away should it get caught or pulled in any direction. The clip is small and discreet but very effective. Rest assured, there is absolutely no danger involved with wearing a Staff Lanyard at any time.
Issuing your personnel with a Staff Lanyards will not only aid your customers or guests with any queries or directions but make the wearers feel part of a team.
