Some companies have uniforms for their staff which must be worn at all times. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this. Employees of some companies must wear their uniforms all the time. The
main advantages of this are that wearing uniforms can be a source for
advertising their products and helps to bring a sense of belonging, while
the disadvantages are that wearing inappropriate clothing for work and
hampering employee’s performance.
Employees who wear uniforms can be a source of marketing for their own
products. This is because when employees step out from their company,
then people will notice their logos and make a good impression of them,
as a result, they might end up buying their items. Moreover, staff wearing
uniforms can also help to grow a sense of belonging. That is to say that if
staff wear the same clothes every time, this would lead to a feeling of
team spirit and better production in the company. To illustrate this, the
workers of Lux company always dress up in the same uniforms; thus, they
become an inevitable part of the marketing team of Lux in Bangladesh.
On the other hand, employees who always wear uniforms might end up
wearing inappropriate clothes for their work. This is because they do not
have any idea of the specific material or right sizes of the clothes that they
should wear at the workplace. Wearing uniforms by employees can also
hamper their better performance. This is mainly because of making poorly
designed work clothes and, this might cause difficulties in work since they
find the uniforms constricting their work output. For instance, flight
stewardesses wearing pencil skirts and high heels may look good, but at
the same time, it also causes discomfort to them and the passengers.
To conclude, the main advantages of wearing uniforms are that it can be a
key element of marketing and helps to grow a sense of belonging;
however, the disadvantages are the inappropriacy of wearing uniforms
and restricted performance.
