The embroidered polo shirts have become the most commonly accepted informal business wear. It is fashionable enough to wear whether in the office or outside in areas such as construction or landscaping so that employees maintain a certain air of professionalism without looking over dressed. It is manufactured of a breathable material, such as 100% cotton, or a mix of cotton and polyester blended material. The addition of the polyester helps to reduce wrinkling of the garment and so keep the overall look smarter and crisper for longer.

The use of a designated polo shirt helps all your employees look like a team rather than a random group of people. If they are given the choice of wearing something of their own, people will wear clothes of varying quality, and in different styles and colours. Ordering in bulk you can have your entire workforce looking smart and professional in one fell swoop. Alternatively it can be issued when a new employee completes a period of initial training to show that they have become a qualified member of the team.

In the modern working environment it may be worth considering that if all your employees are wearing the same “uniform” it can have an effect on reducing gender bias in the workplace. Recent studies have shown that when a workforce of men and women are dressed the same then discrimination is reduced; employees become more focused on the job in hand, and improve in areas such as team building.

When you see certain style of shirt or a certain colour then you can think of a specific business or company. No matter how big or small your business you can use this small approach to increase your own brand being recognised. Even if your workforce has a small visible public role the use of a shirt can have the desired effect by making the company more recognisable compared to them wearing their own clothing in the workplace.
