Corporate Wear: Establishing a Clear and Easy to Follow Dress Code


Businesses that seek to maintain a certain corporate image must pay attention to every aspect of their affairs, and that includes what their employees wear to work. Company uniforms, as in the case of fast-food chains, restaurants and retail stores, make it easy to maintain a consistent image. In an office setting, where uniforms may not be worn, establishing a dress code makes it easier for staff to dress appropriately.

Business owners, in coordination with human resources personnel, will need to come up with a suitable dress code policy depending on the nature of the business. Amongst other things, such a policy must impart a sense of professionalism and provide details on which types of business shirts and other garments are considered acceptable in every season.

Fabric Choices that Yield Comfortable Business Shirts and Workwear


When it comes to designing work uniforms, there is a lot more to consider than how the garment looks. Employee comfort and designation should also be taken into account. According to WorkplaceInfo, an online resource for HR/IR managers and professionals, any work uniform that causes employee discomfort creates negative impact on productivity, morale and staff retention. Constructing comfortable business shirts and workwear hinges a lot on the choice of fabric. Here are some tips for business owners to keep in mind.

Uniform Safety

Safety is a crucial aspect of any uniform design. Uniforms should adhere to industry safety standards. For instance, cooks need flame-retardant clothing. Those in the line of sports should consider moisture-wicking, active wear fabrics capable of letting air circulate and thereby prevent the body from overheating. These fabrics should also be lightweight and flexible so as not to restrict movement.

Go Green! - Marketing with Eco-Friendly Corporate Promotional Products



Going green is the in thing. As people have become more aware of the threat of global warming, millions are shifting to sustainable practices to reduce their carbon footprint and help save Mother Earth. Being a widely admired act of corporate social responsibility, going green provides a valuable marketing advantage to many companies. Among other things, it helps adherents look more trustworthy and creates a better, longer-lasting impression. Smart consumers also favour businesses that proactively do something positive for the environment.

While many corporate giants have overhauled their operations and shifted towards sustainable practices, businesses that operate on a smaller scale can still join the green bandwagon by giving away eco-friendly promotional products. Although not all attendees at trade events are environmentally conscious, it’s always best to stay on the safe side.
