To successfully run a business, you need to manage a lot of aspects: the finances, the marketing of the brand and the staff and their needs. When it comes to the staff, you need to provide them with the pleasant working conditions as well as the comfortable uniform they are going to wear. Choosing a uniform that fulfils all the criteria is not a task you should do looking out the window as the uniform is much more than only a clothing piece. To learn about how to choose a modern uniform for your staff you need to pay attention to a few several tips.
First of all, you need to consider the business you are running so that the uniform you are going to choose is suitable and appropriate for it. If you are in the hospitality or corporate business, then the uniform should reflect the image of your venue. If your staff is well dressed then they will leave a good impression on your customers. Thus, a smart-casual shirtdress for the women combined with pants or worn on its own as a dress and long sleeve shirt combined with cotton black pants for the men can offer casual comfort for the staff and a nice, clean and good-looking appearance. The women's shirtdress can be Oxford Shirt style and with extra pockets, while the mens uniform pants should be breathable and flexible while still maintaining a sophisticated tailored fit and should provide comfort during the day.
Secondly, you need to protect and respect the colours of your brand. This means that you need to decide on a colour palette the uniforms will have so that they can fit in with your venue. You can experiment more with the tops of the uniforms as there are so many patterns and designs you can choose from and have them designed in the colours of your brand. When it comes to the mens uniform pants and women's uniform pants or skirts, try to keep it to the minimum as you still want to aim for a sleek look. So, jeans and chinos in black or camel a perfect choice for the men's uniform pants as they give a fresh new alternative to the classic canvas pants.
Then, pay attention to the demographics of your staff. The point is to have happy and satisfied employees so that they can pass those feelings to the customers. The right size of shirts and t-shirts should be provided for every individual, and if the majority of your staff are young men and women then you can go for trendy, modern and chic cuts, however, if the majority of your employees are adults you can go for the classic modern look.
Finally, an important thing to consider is the durability of the uniform and how it can be maintained clean. You should look for materials that will hold up over constant wearing, washing and activity. The fabric impacts the lifespan of the uniform directly, so a good choice is cotton and polyester as well as the canvas with a dose of elastane for extra flexibility.
