There are many different benefits to supplying your technical repair teams with matching uniforms. From a team member’s point of view, they will not be scuffing up their own clothing while working, as the clothing they wear is company supplied. From an employer’s point of view, they will know that their employees attending to their customers will look smart.
With a wealth of other benefits to explore, here’s a rundown of the advantages of uniforms for your team and why you should consider investing in them for your employees.
#1 Advertising your brand
If you get your uniforms right, you can design them to match your business name, motto, or logo. Words written on the backs of items such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets will have the maximum amount of room. However, there is a good argument for hats too.
Having your repair teams wearing custom hats with the logo, slogan, or business name clearly marked on the front of their hats, whether they are beanies, snapbacks, or dad hats, to name a few, will mean they are visible in a crowd while being incredibly useful – such as keeping hair out of the way, keeping your teams’ heads warm in winter, and keeping the sun out of their eyes if it’s a cap.
#2 Seen when on location
Not only this but employees will be seen and recognized while at your company’s location. This makes it easier for staff , especially security staff, to see and acknowledge that workers are on site rather than wasting time apprehending what could be considered a suspicious person.
As touched on briefly above, they will also carry your business’s reputation with them, so the last thing that you will want your customers to experience is untidy, unidentifiable personnel rather than smartly uniformed professionals.
#3 Team unity
You may think that a uniform is unlikely to affect the way that the wearer thinks or feels; however, this is not the case. Having your teams in specific uniforms will provide them with a feeling of belonging, the same as it has done at different times in their lives.
There will be an increased level of comradeship and unison as it will be speculated that they will be viewed as a whole rather than as just a small cog in a big wheel. They will no doubt take pride in the way they look and act as individuals and a team, both onsite and in front of customers.
Final thoughts
It is essential that your business is perceived to be professional and trustworthy to your customers. Having your team kitted out in a business uniform will go a long way in ensuring this.
Undoubtedly there are other bonuses to having your teams wearing uniforms, such as they will be spotted at a glance no matter where they are – which is great for advertising purposes, security issues when out on a call, and when they are moving around between different jobs.
How much of a uniform you choose to supply is up to you as a business owner. Many businesses opt for giving polo shirts or t-shirts, with a hoodie and/or a jacket and some sort of hat, while others will also supply tros and even shoes if their teams are dealing with either ESD-sensitive components or steel-toed caped boots for those venturing onto industrial sites. Whatever the case, the benefits of uniforms make the investment worthwhile.
