Why Visitor Management is a Big Deal in Today’s World
In today’s world, managing people within controlled areas is a key to health, safety and security throughout the premises. From Fortune 500 organizations to the local library, all enterprises and institutions need a visitor-management system that works. Everyone wants to know they’re safe and secure—and in the right place—when they enter any controlled or unfamiliar space. And it’s every facility manager’s responsibility to make it so.
For most organizations that regularly receive visitors, visitors’ presence within an operation is essential to pursuing organizational missions. Properly accommodating, directing, tracking, and documenting visitors serves both the visitors and the host to mutual advantage.

Surviving and Controlling COVID-19 Depends on Effective ID (Visual) Communication
Today we live with the threat of Covid-19 transmission and the persistent need to ensure safety and contain transmission of infectious disease. The worldwide COVID-19 crisis has established new cultural standards of personal responsibility concerning social distancing and prudent awareness of transmission risks. Responsible people everywhere want to do their part to not just “get through” but “beat” infectious disease—and prevent its re-emergence.
New COVID-19-induced standards and protocols require that individuals sharing any common environment—especially those in which disease transmission risks are high—understand as many facts as possible concerning infectious disease risks and management. The more facts available/shared, the better able people are to govern themselves wisely and effectively to minimize transmission.
