When it comes to making changes to the uniform, there are several ways that you can do this. The first is to have the staff’s department or section printed on the back of the uniform. This option is a subtle difference that can work well. However, if someone is looking for a particular department to help, it can be hard to find if they can’t see the back.
Colour is one of the obvious choices. But the choice in colour must still represent your brand and the niche your business operates within. If you’ve got three or four colours within your branding, this can be a simple option. If you only use one colour, you can sometimes find that some staff members will be wearing colours customers might not recognise.
Or there is a choice of using an accessory to help differentiate between departments, keeping the main uniform the same for all. For example, those in a public area of your business could wear a hat or cap to denote their department. The accessory could be colour coded to make it easier to recognise from a distance. By using an accessory, you can benefit from the advantages of workwear uniform and differentiation. Accessories can also be a perfect way to identify first aiders, so customers and employees can find them in crowded space quickly if needed.
