BENEFITS of
Custom Work
Uniforms to
the Businesses
Does your business need to have business attire for
your employees?
Of course, it does! No matter how big or how small your
company is, there are many advantages to having your
staff wear a uniform at work. These advantages not only
benefit your company but can also be felt by the staff
and customers.
Let’s take a look at all the amazing benefits you can
reap;
PROFESSIONALISM
A good strong professional image is crucial for gaining
new clients – what every blooming business needs to do
in order to succeed. Business uniforms are the perfect
way to achieve an executive and professional look. So,
well thought out staff uniforms reinforce the brand
strategy and your place in the marketplace. Besides, they
build a sense of confidence and trust in the customer
when meeting a uniformed individual. A professional
work-related uniform develops and maintains the
customer’s standard of what he or she expects from the
employees. Plus, it shows how disciplined a company is
to its workers.
PRODUCTIVITY
According to research, a proper dress code and uniform
corporate business attire within a corporation increase
productivity because the uniform imparts a
professional mindset in workers. As a result, they start
getting more engrossed in their tasks. It is an effective
psychological effect of uniforms that make them feel as
if they are the face of the brand. Apart from providing
your staff with a sense of security, uniforms also create
a fine line that uniform is for professional life and
casual clothes should be worn for social activities.
TRUSTWORTHY
Work uniforms instill a sense of credibility and trust in
a corporation and its abilities. Customers naturally
perceive employees sporting branded work wear to
take more pride in their tasks and are hence better at
providing services. So, if you own a business, think
about your experience as a client and question yourself
if you have ever trusted a uniformed staff member
more when it came to assistance? It is self-explanatory
to a customer that if a company has taken some time
out to dress its employees in uniforms, then it must
have taken time to train them as well.
WALKING ADV./ BRAND PROMOTION
Corporate business attire is the perfect advertisement
for a business. Every person walking past your
company’s building will see the uniform sporting your
company’s name and logo. This aids the development of
brand awareness and exposure of a company in the
locality and the working society. As a result of the rise in
publicity and exposure, brand retention increases in
people’s minds. This is perhaps one of the most
rewarding advantages of uniforms and the most
important reason for a corporation to introduce work
wear in the workplace. Besides, it is inexpensive as well,
as compared to other forms of advertisement.
Study: Are Uniforms an Effective Marketing Tool?
(Ashwini K. Poojary, Sawyer Business School, Suffolk University)
Study reported:
75.7% of respondents said uniforms are better than billboard advertising.
74.4% of respondents said uniforms are better than radio advertising.
73.5% of respondents said uniforms are better than TV advertising.
71.5% of respondents said uniforms are better than newspaper advertising.
56.1% of respondents said uniforms are better than Internet advertising.
55% of respondents said uniforms are better than the Yellow Pages.
The by-product of creating uniforms that are comfortable
and loved by your employees is a company that grows into
a better place for the employees.
BRANDING
Uniforms make workers easily recognizable for
frequent visitors. Clothes like the custom uniform, such
as polo shirts, t-shirts, work wear etc., are not just for
advertising a company, but they also help with the
overall branding of a business. They do so by keeping
your employees look polished and make it easier for
customers to spot them. This set up of uniformed staff
results in a pleasant and seamless customer
experience which strengthens the brand of your
company.
TEAM BUILDING
A key advantage of uniforms is the morale of the team.
When people wear the same clothes at work, they feel
included and take pride in their job. Uniforms instill a
sense of belonging in people and level the playing field
for a greater feeling of team spirit. When employees
feel that they are all working towards and together for
the same goal, their productivity increases. Uniforms
make people act like a team and lead to greater success
in businesses. They also get rid of social barriers by
promoting team unity and healthier peer relationships,
which lead to a more productive working environment.
TAX DEDUCTION
Uniforms do not just benefit a company, but also help
the employees get a tax deduction by claiming tax relief
to wash and maintain the compulsory uniform. Tax
relief can get your workers on board with the idea of
implementing compulsory uniforms because it gets rid
of their stress of spending their salary on maintaining
the uniforms. This will benefit both your employees
and your company, as you will achieve your goals of
branding and marketing and your employees will get a
tax deduction.
BOOST MORALE
When you give your staff a comfortable and attractive
uniform, you make them realize that you care about
how they feel and how they look. Not just that, a
uniform will improve their attitude, boost their self-
esteem, and up their morale.
Make sure that their uniforms are well fitted and made
with the highest quality of fabric to boost their morale
and increase their motivation to get done with their
daily chores. Also, involve your staff in the process of
designing uniforms. This way they will accept their
uniform with pride and their morale will improve.
INDUSTRY DEMANDS
There are different corporations and companies that
are purely customer oriented like hotels, hospitals,
government offices, and retail stores etc. Wearing
uniforms in these jobs instills a sense of unity and
solidarity in the customer. As a result, the customer
feels more comfortable consulting an employee for
help. Besides, it looks good for the organization from a
third person view.
EQUALITY
One of the most important facts about uniforms is
that, as its name suggests, uniform literally means to
be the same or uniform throughout. This is the primary
reason why you need to have a uniform; your staff
should feel and be seen as the same in the workplace
irrespective of their social status.
It should not matter if someone is poor or rich while
working for your organization, and everyone should be
treated the same. Therefore, a work uniform is an
excellent way of bringing people together onto one
platform regardless of their background.
TIME-SAVING
Amidst the hustle-bustle in today’s era, everyone
wants to find a way to simplify some areas of life. A
branded uniform is one way to achieve that goal.
If you implement a dress code or a specific uniform in
your corporation, you can help people save time. A
work uniform will make sure that your employees
know what they have to wear to work every day, and
they will not waste their time deciding what to wear
every morning.
FIRST IMPRESSION
Uniforms are perfect for making a good first
impression of the company. If your staff is dressed to
impress, your clients will feel comfortable interacting
with them.
What’s more, a uniform makes it easy to get prepared
for unexpected or unplanned situations like surprise
meetings. So, it is better to have a dress code or a
uniform, so your workers know what to wear and
what not to wear. This way your employees will not
wear inappropriate clothes based on their field of
work.
MUTUAL GROWTH
When employees wear the same uniform, they
tend to care more about their colleagues and try
to make sure that mutual growth and
development happens from both sides. Employees
try to foster their quality of care and make sure
that everyone in a shared workplace gets the
opportunity to prosper and thrive.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, uniforms at work can serve as an
identity for a business and can also save your staff’s
time. When you decide to implement a dress code,
take a survey to know how your workers feel about
the idea of wearing a uniform to work every day. Or
try to implement a dress code if you cannot decide
on a specific uniform.
