Uniform

Just remember, there are a lot of women that like a man in uniform.............................................................................

That said, when I tried dressing up in a uniform to impress a girl it all backfired on me, bloody Traffic warden costume

That's a standerd perk of the job we do.

Well I'm with Stubby, I worked for a company that had a uniform policy, not complaint as they bought us Meindl boots and good quality trousers. We had 14 shirts 7 jumpers and 2 fleeces clean shirt to be worn every day.

 

The problem was that if you had any original idea of your own you was considered a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. I have no ill feeling to the company a very professional outfit, just not for me.

 

For me it's not the image that counts it's the quality and professionalism of the crew, uniform will not give you that.

Professionalism a good attitude and a smart presentable team will go a long way and does benefit all ! Jeeeze I sound dull. !

I can definitely see both sides to this one.

My view is a pro image certainly can't hurt, as long as its combined with pro performance.

All looking uniform just projects the image of a class firm bud

 

Im in his way of thinking

 

Me too but I aint anal about same colour helmets.

 

I provide uniform so I know there all the same.

One of the good things about tree surgery is that you don't have to wear a bloody suit or a naff uniform! I sub to a company that has provided me with a few t shirts and I have no problem sporting the teams colours but there has to be a limit. I really don't think a boss making his work force look like branded robots is of any real benefit to the company. As long as the staff are clean, presentable (ie no snoop dogg spliff hoodies etc ) and polite I see no reason to go any further than a company t shirt and fleece/hoody.

Suppressing individuality for the sake of a bosses OCD isn't the way to go imo

Appearance is everything these days. It also promotes the business you work for. If I was a member of the public and I seen two different outfits working in my street one outfit had football tops and scruffy t-shirts on and the other had nice company polo shirts on I know which company I'd approach first if I wanted tree work doing

Spending a few quid on company work gear can make you money

joe public always go on first apperances and if you do look well presented in what you are wearing it go's along way to getting more work because you look more pro and approachable in smart and the correct work clothing rather then ripped tattie t shirt and trousers.it may well be a bit of ocd and I know I have it but I still get stuck in and work as hard as the next guy but can always manage to look smart and tidy.it's just a case of what suits one person may not another.would't do for us to all be the same.agree bout the helmets,should be able to make your own call on that one.what if you want'd a protos?
