I know more than a few folk who dislike name tags in general, but they are necessary. If we have to wear them, we might as well wear them correctly. So, I promised my conversational group I would research this question and answer via blog post. Here it is: Wear your name tag on the upper right portion of your chest. At the luncheon we all had ours on the upper left portions of our chests. Not very correct of us, I know. This was probably because company name tags get worn on the upper left while a meeting sticky or other type of name tag goes on the right. We were wrong, but only slightly.
