You’re awesome! No, really! Without you, your business wouldn’t exist. You might be modest about it or even a little shy but all of those people you employ, all those people who come to work with a smile day after day… Where would they be today if it weren’t for your leadership, guidance and faith. But of course you recognise that you couldn’t do all this alone. Your employees are a vital part of the equation.
Your business may be your baby, but there’s no way it’d be what it is today without their hard work, endeavour, creativity, imagination and outright awesomeness. That’s why you work hard to make them feel rewarded. You want your employees to feel valued, to feel respected and to be comfortable and happy at work. You want them to feel like part of the team, and a valued contributor to your success every day.
Of course, there are a multitude of ways in which you could do these things, but there are two little words which can cover all of your bases…
Polo. Shirts.
No, seriously! Let’s take a look at 3 great reasons why all entrepreneurs and business owners should give their staff their own embroidered polo shirts…
It’s a smart but zero maintenance look
Polo shirts look great on anyone. Their clean lines and open collars are suitable for all shapes, sizes and body types. Slim people look great in polo shirts, muscular people look great in polo shirts, curvy people look great in polo shirts. They’re a good look on anyone, smart and professional yet also comfortable and zero maintenance.
There are many for whom the idea of turning up to work or a suit and tie is uncomfortable, stuffy and restrictive and polo shirts enable people to feel smart and as though they are a valued member of the team without feeling like they’re tied up in a monkey suit.
It gives them ownership of your brand
You will only ever get so far if your employees feel like your business and your brand are yours. Your staff should feel like your business and brand are theirs too, something that you can all share. Something in which they play a vital part. The uniformity of polo shirts makes them feel like they are active participants in the growth of your business and your brand.
Of course, that does not mean that polo shirts should allow your employees to become faceless drones. The great thing about polo shirts is their customisation. Not only can you tweak them to reflect the specifics of your branding, you can also tweak them to the personal quirks of individual staff members.
Moreover, you can let employees make their own additions or customisations such as badges to make their embroidered polo shirts their own, or give them pins and badges to award special achievements.
However they choose to make their shirts their own, embroidered polo shirts can help your staff members to own and live your brand.
They allow employees to be themselves
There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing your employees bring their own unique personalities and skill sets to a given task. In order to be themselves and feel confident and professionally secure they need to be comfortable and assured that they look as good and as professional as they feel.
Polo shirts are not just a great look on any body type, they’re also comfortable and flattering to wear. They allow for a full range of movement, allowing staff members to go about their daily duties without discomfort or impediments. They allow employees to keep cool and calm, even in the searing heat of summer.
They look great on your employees without ‘wearing’ them, and they can be made to fit any shape or customised to many tastes. Quite simply, they allow members of your staff to be themselves while also being your brand.
