Common uniform complaints - and how to prepare

Here are 3 common complaints in uniform and how to address them. Look out for the next 3 in part 2.

1. The Uniform Is Uncomfortable: Fit And Sizing

One of the first things you will need to ensure when choosing a new uniform is that they have the correct sizes available for each person.

You might want to investigate the probability of incredibly small (XXS) and large (XXXL)sizes to ensure each member of your staff are able to find their right fit. It is also important to ensure fit and fabric is breathable and comfortable.

2. The Quality Is Poor

Quality is hugely important when choosing a good uniform.

If your employees are not satisfied with the quality of your choice it might be worth investigating some other fabric options.

If budget is an issue then explain to your employees that there are budget constraints and if you improve quality, they will need to chip in.

Believe it or not, if your staff are aware of the lack of quality, your customers will be as well.

Be sure to incorporate and consider quality in your company uniform. At AJAY, we pride ourselves in offering only the best quality corporate clothing.

3. I Don’t Like It/ Don’t Want To Wear One
