Looking good when I'm working out

Does Your Company Have a Workwear Policy?

by Genesis Fuller

Are you satisfied with the appearance of your workforce? Do you look at your staff and feel that their appearance reflects well the corporate image you want to convey to your customers or do you feel that your company could benefit from a more unified approach to clothing in the workplace?

Does it matter what the staff wear at work?

In some environments, it is fine for staff to wear their own clothing during the working day but if they have customer-facing roles it can often be helpful for them to wear clothing that instantly identifies them as a member of your team. If staff will be visiting customers homes to work there, then company workwear with your name and logo can act as a security device for the customer. They can be told exactly what the visitor will be wearing and will only let in someone dressed appropriately. If your staff work in a retail environment then workwear makes members of staff easy to identify when they are needed by a customer.

Does workwear have any benefits for your company?

While many people can see workwear as primarily beneficial for your customers, there are positive benefits that it can bring to your company. Workwear has a significant role in reinforcing your company branding. When customers see your staff wearing your corporate colours then it helps to keep your company at the front of their mind. Often your employees will be seen in workwear while travelling to and from work so the benefits of workwear extend well beyond your place of work.

Workwear can also have a positive effect on company morale and teamwork. Your business can only thrive if everyone remembers that they are on the same side and is prepared to work together. By introducing workwear, everyone is dressed in the same way, which helps to foster a team spirit and an increased sense of unity among your staff.

Does workwear have any benefits for your staff?

For your staff, workwear offers several benefits. It takes away the stress of having to find something to wear every morning. Instead of worrying about whether they are suitably attired they can instantly have confidence that they are wearing the right clothing. Since most companies provide workwear to their staff either free or at a discount, workwear saves your team money since they don't have to worry about owning a sufficient amount of suitable clothing, they only have to replace their workwear as it wears out.
