For consultants who travel to different firm offices in different cities, what’s your firm’s process for getting access to a physical location?

Slalom’s process asks me to find an office’s operations manager on SharePoint and request access individually, to each office, for each trip. I think this is archaic and that we should trust the people we employ, but I’m curious on how other firms do it. Do you get blanket access to company offices in your country? Region? Similar request process?

EY, just go where we want with our ID cards

Go there and say hello

Blanket access unless it’s a very small office that might be gated (usually due to it only being tax/audit people)

At my last place, they spent an inordinate amount of money to create global badges, and then within two weeks they disabled access to all but your assigned office. Oh, then you could just have access granted when you need it, right? Wrong! Temp badge 😂

Separate request process for every office (each office has its own intranet page with the specifics)

We just walk in and scan our IDs to get into the building

We request access to specific office by sharing badge id details using service now ticket. Home office is accessible anytime

Many thanks.

Plus i’m also accounting for wiggle room as i’m not expecting them to actually agree with the full 12k counter offer
