We Support Clothes4Souls

/in /by

Did you know that over 85% of all clothing in the USA ends up in landfills instead of being recycled?

At Service Uniform, we’re proud to announce that we’ve made another donation to the Clothes4Souls foundation. If you remember, we donated 300 garments to help with typhoon relief in the Philippines. This time, we donated $18,000 of garments to help those suffering in poverty.

What is Clothes4Souls?
Clothes4Souls, a division of Soles4Souls, is a global not-for-profit institution dedicated to fighting the devastating impact and perpetuation of poverty. The organization advances its anti-poverty mission by collecting new and used clothes from individuals, schools, faith-based institutions, civic organizations and corporate partners, then distributing those clothes via direct donations to people in need and by provisioning qualified micro-enterprise programs designed to create jobs in poor disadvantaged communities. If you’re interested in the cause or sending in a donation, check out their website.

How to Survive March Madness

/in , /by

Does March Madness affect work productivity? Unfortunately the answer is a huge yes.

With the explosion of social media, internet forums and live streaming, it may seem like everyone in the office is setting up their brackets and following the tournament. March Madness is huge because it’s fun, it brings people together, it’s a friendly competition, but from an employer’s point of view it clouds focus and reduces productivity. According to a recent study, about 2.5 million people spend an hour and a half each workday following the tournament. And attendance on Thursdays and Fridays during March tend to fall below average. All of that time adds up!

Each business has a different set of rules on how to manage company time, but if you’re looking for a boost in productivity we may have a long term solution for you. At Service Uniform, we specialize in helping businesses look their best, and businesses with a uniform rental program have shown signs of increased productivity.

A new look is powerful because it not only gives your company the professional, sharp image it deserves, but also boosts morale among employees. When employees feel like they are a part of a winning team, they will naturally work harder to help everyone succeed. So even though we can’t help you manage employee time (or give any advice on which team to pick for your bracket!) we can give you some assistance to boost your business’s productivity.

Why You Should Work with a Family Business

In today’s fast-paced, digitized world, many customers deal with faceless corporations that prioritize profits over people. You call customer service and get a robot. You send an email and receive an automated reply. The process can leave you feeling dehumanized, as if your problems matter less than some ideal of efficiency.
