HID - Workforce Identity and Access Management

Host Matthew Lewis kicks off 2026 with experts Phil Buck and Don Campbell, reflecting on the shifts they saw across physical identity and access management and what they expect to shape the months ahead.
The conversation looks at how organizations are modernizing long‑standing systems and why many are asking for more connected and scalable workflows, that integrate across platforms with broad version compatibility. The team explores what this means in day‑to‑day operations, from using event data, such as badge swipes, to plan around hybrid work and space usage, to making mobile access easier for people to discover, enroll in, and use.
They also spend time on new safety expectations in healthcare, including state‑level rules around weapons detection, and how a stronger visitor management approach can help protect staff and patients while keeping facilities welcoming.
It is a practical, forward‑looking discussion with real insights from a year of customer conversations; a useful listen for anyone thinking about where identity and workplace safety are headed in 2026.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most pressing questions organizations face today: how do you measure the ROI of physical identity and access management (PIAM)? 
Join host Matthew Lewis alongside experts Phil Buck and Don Campbell as they break down the tangible and intangible benefits of PIAM across industries—from healthcare to oil and gas to financial services.
The conversation explores real-world scenarios where onboarding efficiency, credential reissuance, and compliance automation translate into measurable savings and risk reduction. From high-frequency challenges like hospital staffing to high-stakes events such as major capital projects and M&A integrations, our guests share practical strategies for quantifying value beyond the spreadsheet.
Whether you’re a security leader, operations manager, or simply curious about the business case for PIAM, this episode offers insights that will reshape how you think about identity, compliance, and the bottom line.
