Creating a personalized visitor experience makes guests feel valued and welcomed in your workplace. Whether it’s a potential hire, a business partner, or a contractor, tailoring their experience ensures they leave with a great impression of your company. People appreciate personal touches more than generic interactions.
Not every visitor is the same. You wouldn’t welcome a job candidate the same way you would greet a vendor. A candidate may appreciate a warm greeting and an office tour, while a vendor may need seamless access to supply rooms.
But the visitor experience doesn’t begin when they step through the door—it starts with the invitation. A visitor management system (VMS) is a game-changer, ensuring a smooth, customized journey for every visitor. Let’s explore five common visitor types and how to make their experience exceptional.
1. Business partners
Your business partners—clients, investors, or prospects—play a crucial role in your company's success. Their visit should reflect professionalism and efficiency.
How to impress them:
- Use instant host notifications to ensure a warm and timely welcome.
- Enable digital pre-registration so legal paperwork can be signed in advance.
- Offer a seamless check-in experience using Veris visitor management with QR code-based entry, eliminating long wait times.
- Provide a designated meeting space, complete with refreshments and key presentation materials.
A frictionless experience builds trust, strengthens relationships, and leaves a lasting positive impression of your brand.
2. Job candidates
Interviews can be nerve-wracking. Ensuring a seamless candidate experience can make a difference in their perception of your company.
How to impress them:
- Send a detailed invite email with information about the location, meeting time, and whom they will meet.
- Use Veris visitor pre-check-in to allow candidates to complete paperwork in advance.
- Provide a visitor badge and printed schedule upon arrival, ensuring they feel prepared and confident.
- Offer a guided office tour to showcase your company culture and work environment.
A well-organized, warm welcome enhances the candidate experience and increases the chances of securing top talent.
3. Contractors & freelancers
Contractors and freelancers contribute significantly to business operations. Making their visit smooth allows them to focus on delivering results.
How to impress them:
- Allow pre-registration and automated check-in for returning contractors.
- Assign a hot desk using Veris’ integrated workspace management system.
- Enable Wi-Fi access automation, ensuring seamless connectivity upon check-in.
- Grant temporary access credentials to restricted areas if necessary.
A well-managed experience ensures that external talent can collaborate effortlessly with your teams.
4. Food & supply vendors
Your workplace runs efficiently thanks to vendors who restock supplies and cater to your employees. Ensuring their experience is hassle-free keeps operations smooth.
How to impress them:
- Use a visitor management system that integrates with access control to provide secure, temporary access.
- Assign access levels so vendors can only enter designated areas such as supply rooms or storage spaces.
- Automate check-in and check-out to minimize disruptions while keeping track of vendor activity.
A streamlined process allows vendors to do their jobs efficiently without affecting workplace productivity.
5. Friends & family visitors
Sometimes employees invite family or friends for lunch, a quick tour, or office events. Ensuring a simple and secure check-in process enhances the experience for everyone.
How to impress them:
- Use ID verification to ensure compliance with visitor policies.
- Allow pre-registration to track the number of expected guests.
- Assign designated seating areas or meeting spots for a smooth visit.
With a streamlined system in place, hosting personal guests becomes effortless while maintaining workplace security.
Make every visitor’s experience exceptional
Regardless of the visitor type, a well-planned visitor management process ensures efficiency, security, and a welcoming atmosphere. While a VMS takes care of check-ins and compliance, it’s the personal touches—a friendly greeting, a seamless process, and an intuitive experience—that make all the difference.
