Corporate uniforms are not just uniforms that the employees and executives have to wear for the sole purpose of representing a company. The selection of a corporate uniform is part of business management. Uniforms reflect the social values and business ethics of the company. Sometimes they can also reflect a company’s vision and mission. Corporate uniform are also meant to generate feeling of comradeship within the organization and help employees feel a part of the group.

Sometimes workers are found complaining about their corporate uniforms. They register their hate passionately. The reasons behind their dislike can be anything, and may vary from colour, or the design, to the intangible values that you want the uniforms to reflect. They may not like the fabric, or the logo, or the uneven stitching. In such situations it becomes responsibility of management to find out the exact reason and solve it to avoid loss of workers’ efficiency, production which might even reflect into the overall performance and revenue of the company. Here are some known reasons why employees hate their corporate uniforms:

Quality of Corporate Uniforms: This is most often the reason why workers do not like their uniforms. It can be based on a poor quality material used for dresses. It can be poor stitching, loose fitting, unfriendly colour, insufficient stitching, etc. It can be that the fabric is giving them irritating feeling when it rubs against the body, or the material may rip easily. Sometimes such complaints may arise because the company deliberately decided to choose inferior quality products to save money. However, often it happens because the contractor had tried to manipulate profit by replacing high quality fabric with lower quality fabric, assuming that no one would note the difference.

Design of A Corporate Uniform: This is also an important reason that causes workers hatred towards company uniforms. They simply do not like the design at all. It can be ill-fitting, uneven, have an inappropriate logo, grotesque colours or anything else. Some of the workers do not like it, saying they feel ‘ridiculous’ about the way they look in it. This type of feeling can affect their self respect, self worth, or self image among their colleagues, customers etc. Who wants to look stupid in such a way?

Relevancy of Corporate Uniforms: Sometimes workers do not understand why they should wear a corporate uniform at all and oppose it any way they can. They do not find it necessary for the type of job they are doing, and have their own understanding of the work-garments.

Whatever the reason, it is the responsibility of HR department and overall management to know what is troubling their work force by communicating with them properly and providing a solution to complaints. Workers should be involved in the process of decision making, should be listened to and convinced of its requirement before you invest to buying a ‘corporate uniform’ for them.
