Uniforms: Who Benefits from the Apparel?

When it comes to making the decision to enforce uniforms in the workplace, many employers are worried that the uniforms will lead to low staff morale. However, it has been proven that uniforms not only benefit the business that implements them, but also the staff who wears them and the customers who patronize the business.

Uniforms are known to help in three major categories:

  1. Productivity: Several studies have shown that uniforms help to increase the productivity of the business and its staff members.
  2. Branding: Uniforms can help with products branding and marketing by helping to create an image with what your business is trying to sell.
  3. Safety: If you work in a profession that places you in harm’s way because of chemicals, fire, or other materials, a mandatory uniform can help protect the clothing and skin of your employees.

So how does everyone benefit from the uniforms?

Employees

Believe it or not, most employees are not completely against a uniform. This helps to eliminate the need to find new clothing for the job and will save your staff money on replacing their outfits. A uniform also places everyone on the same level and eliminates any anxiety some staff members may feel when wearing their personal clothing to work. When everyone feels like they are part of the overall team, workplace productivity and morale tend to increase.

Customers

While some may not think uniforms have any bearing on customers, the customers can actually benefit the most from the uniforms. Customers will feel secure when speaking with someone wearing a uniform in comparison to someone wearing civilian clothing. A uniform is a symbol for professionalism and knowledge, which makes customers feel comfortable with your staff and more likely to return to your business.
