When Employers Should Update Employees' Work ID Photos

Employers should update employees' work identification ever so often or at least when there are significant changes in an employee's appearance. This should be done for security purposes, to ascertain that the individual on an employee's ID badge is in fact the same person reporting to work. 

This would proactively address potential instances of identity theft or any unauthorized individual accessing a company premises and posing detriment to its staff and/or property. 

Employees' physical appearances often change after working especially laborious jobs after certain lengths of time, i.e. extreme weight loss. Whether extreme weight loss, gain, or other changes in an employee's physical appearance, a company should always be capable of readily matching a reporting individual with the person on their work identification badge. 

Companies should also update employees' work ID photos upon employee request if they dislike their photo, i.e. their hair was unkempt from wearing the hoodie on their jacket or coat and they did not have a comb, pick, or brush to groom their hair, or maybe a male did not have time or the resources to get a hair cut. 

Companies that utilize unflattering photographs (work I.D.s) of employees as fuel to gaslight and/or physically abuse or discriminate them, i.e. making disparaging statements about the employee's personal appearance that are irrelevant to the company's dress code and grooming policies and/or giving a subject employee an unreasonable work load in endeavor to compel them to lose weight or quit, should be severely punished, especially if the abuse causes a life-threatening injury (physical and/or psychological) to the employee that would impede their ability to work and sustain housing and other essential resources for themselves and their immediate family members or those for whom they provide care. 

Other examples of abuse are failing to honor a deserving employee and/or withholding rewards due to them for substantial contributions to the company and/or forthwith firing an employee and participating in concerted efforts to keep him or her unemployed and/or homeless until they lose weight or date or marry someone they are not interested in because the firing company may have paid acquaintances or family members for damages to the employee, and even though the paid individuals do absolutely nothing for the damaged employee or those for whom they are responsible and the subject employee suffers loss of property, relationships, etc.

Companies should be required to pay damages to employees who they maliciously damage because of their personal appearance. Stated damages should include compensation for any physical and/or emotional harm, i.e. severe depression or loss of enjoyment of life, caused to the employees' immediate family members and/or those for whom they are responsible.

Companies with legit concerns for their employees' weight and health should implement programs to healthily motivate them to lose weight, i.e. incorporating walking paths and/or fitness rooms into their company premises for group exercise that could be lead by managers during one of employees specified breaks and paying employees a dollar per minute for 10 minutes of exercising in the fat-burning zone, if they participate for at least three days per week, and significantly paying employees who reach significant weight-loss milestones or goals, i.e. $700.00 for 70 pounds (1000%), noting that the significant weight-loss bonus would be a one-time payment for each synonymous employee...

Other things that employers could do to improve their employees is removing unhealthy snacks and beverages from their vending machines or at least increasing healthy options, having healthy cooking demonstrations and distributing printed recipes of favorite sampled dishes of attending employees, distributing gift cards for healthy groceries and/or wardrobe refurbishment (after significant weigh-loss) and/or for hair care (grooming and/or styling to best suit one's facial features and persona) and/or for cosmetic dentistry or other sensible procedures that would help employees to look and feel their best.

In summation and conclusion, employees' work identification photographs should be updated to reflect any significant changes in their appearance. They should be allowed to take the best possible photo for their work ID, considering especially that they'll daily wear it at work. This would improve the employee's image, confidence, self esteem, and work performance, and, ultimately, the company's morale...
