Organizations today are facing an urgent need to rapidly onboard hundreds of key employees, such as medical, nursing and other staff members, on a daily basis across multiple facilities.

HID Global, a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, has introduced an emergency badging solution to help manage the secure issuance and administration of staff badges and access control credentials as they navigate the current health crisis.

HID’s offering combines its award winning HID FARGO^® Connect™ solution for cloud-based ID card printing with its latest innovation for cloud-based identity management to equip organizations with a convenient “touch-free” system that minimizes the impact on overwhelmed credential issuance departments and drives a more secure work environment.

• Inefficient access management processes that require manual sign-in and sign-out
• Overwhelmed IT departments that have had to adjust credential issuance
• Restricting access to in-demand items such as medical equipment and PPE, and safeguarding against theft

HID’s emergency badging solution includes the tools required to issue secure credentials to temporary employees:

• (1) HID FARGO desktop card printer for ID and card issuance
• (1) FARGO Connect Console for badge issuance and management
• A free, six-month subscription to HID FARGO Connect and the company’s cloud-based identity management platform
