Lost Your Work Badge? – Secure Recovery of Professional Credentials with HERQ
Lost your work badge? For many professionals, a badge is more than just plastic—it’s your access to offices, secure areas, and proof of employment. Losing it can cause disruptions, security risks, and even replacement costs. The good news: with the HERQ Lost & Found app, you can recover your work badge quickly while keeping your personal details private.
Immediate Steps After Losing a Work Badge
- Notify your employer immediately – report the loss to HR or security so they can deactivate access if necessary.
- Retrace your steps – check desks, meeting rooms, cafeterias, transportation, and nearby shops.
- Post on HERQ – create a listing with your badge description (without sensitive details) for instant community alerts.
- Check lost and found offices – in buildings, coworking spaces, and public transport.
- Request a temporary badge – many employers can issue short-term replacements while you search.
Why Work Badges Are High Priority
- Access Control – many badges double as keycards for secure areas.
- Identity Verification – badges often include your name, photo, and company branding.
- Financial Value – replacements can cost employers €20–100 or more per badge.
- Privacy Risks – losing your badge in the wrong hands can create security vulnerabilities.
