7 Ways Your Uniform Puts in Overtime
Your uniform works just like you, the same hours, same jobs, same situations…right? We’d like to argue that your uniform puts in overtime daily for your business. Uniforms are seen by everyone you encounter on your commute, lunch break and business meetings, exposing your brand to thousands of people daily.
- Brand Exposure
Outfitting employees with customized uniforms creates excellent brand awareness for your business. Just think about it! Every where your employee travels outside of work when they have their uniform on is a chance for you to grab a new potential customer: on the train to/from work, at the fast-food joint after work, and even soccer practice.
- Safety
Are your employees working outside or on the street? Construction and Utilities uniforms put in overtime for your employees by alerting motorists they are working nearby. There is a very good reason these types of uniforms are brightly colored, and they are vital to your employees safety. In a welder’s shop, protective face gear ensures uniforms work overtime to take the heat instead of your employee.
- Increased Team Spirit
When your employees are required to dress alike, there is no room for competition in the workplace. In conjunction, when no one is competing with one another, there is increased team spirit and unity. Employers wrack their brains trying to get their employees to get along so they don’t have to deal with petty squabbling day-to-day. In this case, uniforms do their job of exposing your brand with an added bonus of making your employees happier.
- Raised Productivity
In conjunction with making employees happier, uniforms help increase productivity in your business. When employees are happy where they work, they are much more productive between the hours of nicen and five–it’s a fact! So, while your employees are working full-time, your uniforms are working overtime to create a better working environment.
- Promoting Company Pride
While uniforms help decrease the amount of competition, they also help increase a sense of pride workers have for their jobs. This sense of pride can convert employees into “brand ambassadors” outside the workplace. Just think of all of the soccer moms who might be interested in your business if they know another Mom works for the company and loves it!
- Monetary Benefits
When you provide uniforms to your employees, it saves them money. Whether you decide to provide uniforms as a part of a rental program or a required purchase upon hire, the uniform works overtime to ensure your employees have no job-associated shopping costs, making your employees happier and ensuring you are in control of the appearance of your business to your customers.
- Creating An Attractive Business
Not only do uniforms help create brand awareness, instill a better work ethic in your customers, and help keep your employees safe, they also work overtime to make sure your business looks attractive. For better or worse, we tend to judge people by the way they dress. When you choose the employee uniform, you ensure that the public gets the right idea about your business as soon as they see an employee.
