English term or phrase: Look for their badge and offer to show yours
No encuentro una traducción natural para esta frase. Es una instrucción de la compañía sobre qué hacer cuando un empleado se encuentra con una persona que intenta ingresar a un edificio sin la credencial requerida.
¿Pedirle su credencial y mostrarle la propia?
Saludos!
