Throw a Halloween Party

/in /by

Here at Service Uniform, we believe in the power of strong look. When an employee puts on their uniform, something changes. They become motivated, proud, and confident. Well, if a uniform can have that sort of effect on a person it’s no wonder everyone gets excited to dress up for Halloween! Costumes are similar to uniforms; they make you feel like a different person.

Halloween is on a Friday this year so why not set aside some time in the afternoon to throw a company party? Not only is a Halloween party easy to set up (all you need is candy, beverages, and fun decorations), it’s also easy to let employees show off their costumes. No Halloween party is complete without a costume contest, and you can make it fun by giving away prizes. Have your employees vote on different costume categories like funniest costume, costume that took the most work, and most creative costume. Let everyone know about the party in advance so they have time to prepare and make sure to get awesome prizes that will get everyone pumped up.

Holiday parties are a great way to get your employees together and share a few laughs. Unfortunately there are only so many holidays in a year to celebrate, so if you’re looking for a way to keep employee morale high all year round, contact Service Uniform today and ask about the benefits of company uniforms. Until then, you better get started on your costume because Halloween will be here before you know it!

Don’t Forget Boss’s Day

/in /by

October 16th is Boss’s Day so make sure to mark it on your calendars! The holiday began as a day to improve the relationship between employees and supervisors because sometimes employees do not realize the challenges bosses face in running a business. Just like it’s essential for bosses to recognize their employees, it’s equally important that hard-working bosses get the same acknowledgment.

Your boss appreciates positive recognition as much as anyone else, but what should you do for them? Some companies throw a party to celebrate their bosses, supervisors, and managers. If a party is not in the budget (or there’s no time in the schedule) a simple gift or “hey, great work” to your boss will work. Celebrating Boss’s Day depends on the size and culture of your office but you can’t go wrong by keeping the gesture honest, fun, and simple. A very popular way to say “thanks” is to send your boss a nice note or card to thank them for their support during the year. This can be an individual note or a card signed by the entire team. Whatever you decide to do, have fun and get creative!

Have you learned a lot at your current job? Do you feel excited to come to work every day? If so then you most likely have an awesome boss! Check out our Facebook page for more ways to celebrate Boss’s Day.

It’s Customer Service Week

What makes a company successful?

Right now you’re probably making a quick list in your head…

  • A hard-working team.
  • Quality products and services.
  • A strong business model.

But do you know what really makes a company successful?

Strong customer service!

The second week of October is National Customer Service Week and we know it’s important to celebrate our customer service representatives and the vital role they play within the company. Clients and customers are the sole reason your company is in business, so of course it’s important to keep them happy (within reason of course)!

Showing your support for those who handle customer requests can help your business in many ways, one of the strongest being a boost of employee morale. It’s amazing how much the energy of a team can increase motivation and business success. If you let your customer service team know how much you appreciate their hard work, you’re giving them a crucial boost of self-esteem.

Not only will you give your team the boost they need, you’ll also be raising company awareness of the importance of customer service. Remember, your customers are the entire reason you’re there, so it’s important to make sure that everyone knows how important they are. This could be anything from proper phone etiquette to a smile every time you interact with a customer.

Why Have A Company Dress Code?

/in , /by

Almost all businesses have a company dress code. Employees anywhere from fast food to corporate executives have some sort of code to follow, some relaxed and some strict. Why is that?

As uniform people, we of course are in favor of a company dress code. Here are the main reasons we believe in company dress codes:

A Uniformed Look 
As the image experts, we can go on and on about the benefits of a uniformed look, but we think that it speaks for itself! Sporting your company’s brand colors and logo is a great way to leave a first impression and build up a professional image.

Avoid The Uncomfortable 
Everyone has a different definition of what is comfortable. If a company allows employees to wear whatever they want, there will come a time when someone will wear something offensive to another employee. Instead of waiting for that to happen, nip it in the bud with guidelines.

Safety
In some work environments, a dress code is put into place to keep employees safe. You don’t want to wear loose clothing around heavy machinery, just like you don’t want to show exposed skin when working with chemicals or tools.

Dress codes can be tricky, but one way to solve the problem is to have company uniforms. Now, we know that a lot of employees feel restricted when they have to wear uniforms, but with Service Uniform the feeling is different. Our image experts will work with your employees to find the right fit and image. Our quality uniforms are made with the most comfortable, durable fabrics that are not only comfortable but stylish. Plus, the new professional image will give your employees the morale boost they didn’t know they needed.
