O-4-170 Issuing a Name Badge to a Worker

🎯 PURPOSE

A name badge must be worn by every employee and contract staff member when representing Adara Home Health. 

  • Exception: If a contract employee has a badge from their facility they do not need a badge from Adara Home Health.

During general orientation the new employee and/or contract will receive a temporary badge in a protective sleeve with their name and title on it.   

After the branch sends the name badge request to corporate as laid out in this process below, a permanent name badge with the employee's picture will be issued via mail. The permanent name badge replaces the worker's temporary badge initially issued. 

🔄 PROCESS

  1. In advance of general orientation, notify the candidate that they will have their picture taken at general orientation. This is best included in the email sent with the other general orientation information (telling the new hire what documents to bring, the address, etc.).
  2. At general orientation, issue a temporary badge to the worker which they will use until they receive their permanent badge.
    • The temporary badge template can be found in the manuals drive in this location: Forms Manual > General Office and Miscellaneous Forms.
    • Provide a lanyard or retractable badge holder as well as a protective sleeve for their badge.
  3. At some point during general orientation, take the worker's picture. Pictures should be headshots with a neutral background. 

Tips for Taking Employee Photos

  1. Ensure appropriate dress.
  2. Offer employee an opportunity to freshen up before the picture is taken.
  3. Encourage a smile.
  4. Be sure the area is well-lit. Ensure the employee's face is not shaded and that there are not shadows behind the employee's head on the wall.
  5. Use flash if needed.
  6. Use a white wall or unwrinkled white sheet. No dark walls used please.
  7. Take photo in close proximity to employee or crop photo. Pictures should be from shoulders to the top of the head – limit white space around the photo.
  1. Upload the photo to the Employee Photos folder:
    • Branch T-Drive > Office Operations > Employee Records > shortcut to branch Employee Photos folder
    • Save the photo under the worker's last name, first name.
      • Example: Smith. John.jpg

  2. Complete the Name Badge Request Form, which is located in the manuals drive at this location: Forms Manual > Employee Forms

    Example of completed form fields.
  3. Send the completed form to support@adarahomehealth.com
  4. Corporate staff will create the permanent badge and send it via mail.
