Uniforms Aren’t Only for Show

At one point or another, many of us will experience what it’s like to wear a uniform to work. Though we think the purpose of work uniforms is to look nice and cohesive, that may not always be the case. When a company is serious about their uniform management, employee uniforms will be used to provide many different services. Not recognizing uniforms as a way to protect employees and further establish your brand could be an easily missed business opportunity. See below more reasons why work uniforms are not only important, but how they can benefit customers, employees and your business.

Secures Employee Protection

No matter what your industry, safety of employees is always a top concern. This statement is especially true in areas of service where chemicals, fire or other dangerous substances need to be handled. Advances in fabric technology and uniform design over the years have greatly reduced the accident rate “on the job” by providing protection. Not only do uniforms physically protect employees from harm, they also provide security. Work uniforms ensure that all persons in any given workspace are identifiable as employees and not customers or outsiders. This is especially important in areas of public safety but also home services from cleaning to pest control. If your workers need to enter homes or interact with the public, the recognition work uniforms provide help create a sense of trust. It provides employees and customers a way to communicate so everyone is comfortable and not at risk.

Provides Employee Benefits

How often do you look in your closet and just can’t find anything to wear? Work uniforms automatically eliminate this problem for you. Not only is this beneficial to a company, it makes life easier for employees as well. Employees can end up saving themselves both time and money with company provided uniforms. When employees have free range to dress on their own, they often break the dress code in place, or perhaps just push it to the limit. A uniform program ensures control over your company apparel, and image. This means knowing your employees will arrive to work and look put together and professional. And since there’s no fussing over what outfit you need to wear every morning, uniforms can cut down on time getting ready in the morning too. Uniforms set the image your company is trying to achieve all while making things more convenient for employees.

Promotes Team Building/Unity

Putting on the same uniform as your co-workers can create a team spirit within your company. No matter how high up a person might be in a corporation, uniforms put everyone on the same platform. This can also make management more approachable and less intimidating to address concerns with. Wearing a common uniform helps create a bond between everyone that can be somewhat difficult to achieve in larger corporations.

Creates Brand Awareness /Free Advertising

When it comes to branding, uniforming your employees is an inexpensive piece of the overall company image . A successful uniform will make employees stand out, at work or running errands on the way home. Setting your uniforms apart with unique logos, decorations, colors and designs are all factors that can help achieve this image. Branding also creates better customer service, by helping customers recognize employees, so they know exactly where to get the help they need.
