Microsoft does. Our badges serve as keys to get into the buildings. We can also store money on them for use at the cafeterias.

They aren't really there to tell people your name. Most people wear them on their waist so you can't read them. But they do identify you as someone who belongs, so security can chase you out if you don't have one.

Got it. When I read "name badge" I was thinking of just a name rather than a security badge.
