When you are on the site or doing a job anywhere for that matter, it is important to be safe. With the amount of legislation, we have in the UK, it has made certain things incredibly frustrating, but it’s not worth taking a risk and missing off a critical piece of PPE. But, as important as safety is, have you ever wondered what you wear for work says about you?
Probably not, as you are too busy staying safe and doing work to think about things like that. That doesn’t mean that is how the customer will think. Turning up on the first day of the job in dirty old work clothes may show the customer you aren’t afraid of the hard graft, but when it comes to its appearance, it does make a huge difference.
Now, I am not saying that you should turn up on-site or to a client’s property in Gucci slippers and the finest cashmere tracksuit money can buy, as that’s not going to keep you very safe and frankly will land you as a feature of On the Tools quicker than you can finish that brew. The point I am trying to make is personalized workwear.
It is no longer a decision of safety or style, with personalized workwear you can dress appropriately for the weather, ensure you have the correct PPE while displaying your brand on your workwear, giving you a professional look that speaks dimensions before you have even delivered any sort of work. If you don’t believe me, check out Banana Moon’s personalized workwear offering where you will find just about any garment, suitable for any sector or industry, which can all be personalized with your business logo, name, and phone number, meaning wherever you go you are advertising your business.
What’s more, there is no secret in kitting out that your workforce can work wonders for productivity. And in this economy productivity is money and who doesn’t want more money? Yeah, I know it’s great having all the guys looking smart and professional on the job, but what if you don’t have a big workforce? What about the sole traders, independent tradespeople a small gang out there delivering essential services and keeping the economy moving?
Got you covered too, as personalized workwear isn’t exclusive to the big boy’s anyone can get a piece of that action. The majority of printing companies out there likely have no minimum order value meaning you can start off with a small order like a polo shirt and a hi-vis for example, or you could go for the works and get enough to last for the next year and benefit from a large order bulk discount. The choice is yours, but don’t forget to stay safe!
Always Wear a Uniform
There are numerous reasons to wear a uniform at work. While you will look more professional, it also makes all of the workers to seem like they are all on the same level in the company, which is great for better cooperativity. Many companies have their policy that requires every employee to wear a uniform.
On the other side, if you don`t want to make your workers wear the same uniforms, you can still give them some instructions about their outfits at work. For example, you can determine which combination of colors they will always wear, especially if they are wearing t-shirts or skirts.
Also, a great option to promote your company is to implement the logo of your brand in every piece of clothes that the workers will wear at work. On the other side, they won’t need to wear the same outfits, because each piece of clothes will have your logo on them.
However, it is important to choose uniforms that will provide people with comfort and also look stylish at the same time. There will be a better motivation for workers at work because they will feel better and more important to the company. The best combination might be something between required and optional use of the same or similar uniforms at work.
Choose a Type of the Uniform
When you decide about what your workers will wear on work, you will have to find a custom producer that will make it for you. You have to define which types of clothes do you want to buy, and the correct amount. You will have to consider that you will need a few combinations for each worker because people usually need enough clothes to have a three-days amount of clothes.
Furthermore, many companies only provide their workers with only one part of the uniform, the one with the logo of the company. You will need to determine whether you want to create an all-in-one combination, with the brand’s logo on each part of the uniform, on the pants, on the blouse, jacket, or whatever they are wearing. Opposite to that, you can only buy one part of the suit, for example, a shirt that will have a logo on it.

If you don`t have time to ask each of your workers for the size of the clothes that they are wearing, you can buy clothes with different sizes. However, be sure to choose sizes in a wide range, for avoiding the situation where some of your workers can`t find a proper uniform for himself.
