There are a lot of investments your business can make for a more professional image from the outset. One of these is staff uniforms. Having well-dressed employees will make your whole business look better. Customers will know who to talk to for help. Visitors will see you as a well-run business.
But what exactly should your staff uniform include? It can vary a lot depending on the industry you’re in. Some companies even like to get creative with their work clothes. Your uniform should also reflect the brand of your business. Here are some ideas for what your employees should wear.
Name Badges
Clothing is necessary, but the name badge might be the most important part of the uniform. It allows staff to introduce themselves to customers or clients easily. It also clearly identifies them as staff members. People will feel more comfortable just by being able to put a name to a face.
Getting name badges made for you doesn’t take too much investment. A lot of services print them, such as NameBadgesAustralia.com. You can get custom-designed badges with your company name and logo.
They make a nice addition to a full staff uniform. These are often used in industries such as retail and catering. But they can come in handy in any kind of client or customer facing role.
Smart Casual Or Formal?
Office workers often dress smart for the job. It gives the business a more professional image. That usually entails wearing a button-up shirt and trousers.
Some companies go for more of a formal approach. For example, law firms often wear full suits. The drawback of formalwear is staff members might feel overdressed. It’s a smart idea for jobs where workers need to impress clients. But more casual offices might want to go for the smart casual approach.
Of course, you could also ditch both and go fully casual. A lot of startups ditch conventional codes and let employees wear what they want. Having no dress code allows workers to wear what they feel comfortable in. It can often result in increased productivity and morale.
Retail Uniforms
Businesses in areas such as retail often take a more laid back approach. Employees often have comfortable fitting clothes in custom styles. The colours usually reflect the style of the brand.
You can get creative with your uniforms. You might want workers to wear just a white shirt and black trousers. Sometimes businesses like coffee shops include aprons and hats.
You can check out Pinterest.com for some uniform inspiration. But be sure to put your own spin on things and give workers a uniform that reflects your company and brand.
Footwear
The importance of proper shoes often gets overlooked. In some industries, workers will be on their feet all day. Having a well-fitting pair of shoes will ensure that they don’t develop any joint problems.
Footwear is also important in construction. All workers should equip themselves with sturdy pairs of safety boots. It can keep them safe from injury as well as giving them something tough for their field of work.
