Another element to establishing your uniform is deciding if employees should dress alike or have some variance.  There is no right or wrong but here are some points to consider when making your choice.

MIXING

• It’s a great way for customers to identify employees by department or job function.  Whether it’s the style or color of clothing that differs, the variety can be a tool for customers to pinpoint who they should be interacting with.
• The idea of being forced to wear uniforms may not appeal to employees.  Allowing them to mix it up brings their personality to the uniforms.  If you select numerous pieces that make up the uniform then employees can choose styles that best fit their personal style, personality, and body type.  Offering this can be a morale booster for some employees because it gives them some sense of ownership over their appearance.
• Let’s face it.  Looking at the same color shirt and pants day-in and day-out can get a little boring.  Choosing a variety of uniform options can help break up the monotony.

MATCHING

• Many employees are cross-trained to work in multiple departments.  Outfitting them in the same uniform will keep consistency, regardless of what departments they move between.
• This is a simpler option because it means less garments make up the uniform.  It becomes a no-brainer when outfitting new employees and replacing uniforms for existing ones.  Keeping up with numerous styles for numerous employees can pose a challenge.
• Employees dressing in identical uniforms convey a consistent brand image to customers.  There will be no question about who is employed by your company.
