Custom Uniform Program Benefits
#1: UNIFORMS CAN CREATE HAPPY EMPLOYEES AND DECREASE TURNOVER.
In companies whose employee base includes a large contingent of employees between the ages of 16 – 25, research indicates that the style of the uniform can have a direct impact on:
- Employee recruitment success and cost
- Employee retention and tenure
The cost savings associated with a 5% - 7% in employee tenure is significant.
Today… we all want choice in what we wear. Employees that are forced to wear cookie-cutter clothes that they perceive as unattractive and unimaginative are not happy employees. And… they generally are not long-term employees. OOBE’s hallmark EDGE (Environment Data Gathering & Evaluation) model helps us evaluate the work environment and the roles that interact within that environment and enables OOBE to create a role-specific apparel collection that projects a unified brand image while offering variety and choice… without breaking the bank.
The range of annual employee turnover in businesses that employ a significant number of individuals under 25 years of age is typically between 50% and 150%. In a survey recently completed by a company that replaced their old uniform with a significantly more stylish uniform, employee turnover decreased almost 7% within the first nine months that the new uniform program was in place. Although this improvement cannot be directly attributed to the uniform change alone, the uniform change was the only strategic change introduced during this timeframe.
The cost savings associated with a 5% - 7% in employee tenure is significant. The cost savings result from the following:
- reduction in number of garments having to be purchased to outfit employees hired to replace those departing
- Reduced cost of recruitment and hiring
